There are over 60 albums listed below, 25 were in part one, and one another 25 are in part two. Those with an asterisk are in part one and those with a pound symbol are in part 2 (i.e this poll).

Please vote for up to five (or more is you really want to) and mention those, and feel free to mention other favourites.

It's not a contest and the posts mean more to me than just the votes themselves. I know say with Magma in part one, more would go with, say, MDK or Udu Wudu, and I really like those (and have a very extensive Magma collection), but I adore the debut.
