well, Captcha got me and my entire list!  The thing is, it accepted my post but then it led me to a blank box

Love In A Silent Way -- that was the album that got me into Miles Davis.

Today I'd say: Big Fun as favourite (Get Up With It being another particular favourite), and I actually haven't listened to any of his album in full past Water Babies.

Of his pre "electric Miles" period, I really like Sketches of Spain.

Some Cs:

Can: Soundtracks (others would work too) - Out Of Reach (haven't heard all their albums)
Comus: First Utterance - Out of the Coma (yep, I somewhat prefer To Keep From Crying to Out of the Coma though I love "The Sacrifice", really, either not First Utterance I could list).
Cos: Viva Boma - Swiß Chalet
Clivage: Mixtus Orbis (love the debut about equally) - Kassiopee (still like it)
Codona: Codona 3 - Codona 2 (love all three, though)
Cardiacs: A Little Man and a House and the Whole World Window - Toy World

In my case there are many bands and artists I like that made very few albums, and while I may love all of them, I may still have a favourite and least favourite (though that might change on a daily or even a hourly basis). For instance, Dzyan has three studio albums, and I would choose Electric Silence as my favourite (I don't like using the terms best and worst generally) and the debut is slightly my least favourite, but I like all three very much. Three is not that much to remember, and various others have but two albums, which is even less to remember.

In the case of Dom and Dun, they made only one album each, so they are simultaneously my favourite and least favourite albums by the bands (haha).

There have only been a few bands or artists with quite large discographies where I've bothered to collect all of the studio albums. I am enough of an admirer of certain bands, film directors, and novelists to try to seek out all of their works when they made quite a few, including the works that are not generally well-regarded. In such cases, even the "missteps" can be interesting to me.

Wishbone Ash - Argus/Raw To The Bone

Have you ever considered taking up philately?
