The Beatles-White Album
Beach Boys-Pet Sounds
Sonic Youth- Daydream Nation
James Brown-Star Time
Ministry-Land of Rape and Honey
Paul and Linda McCartney- Ram
Pixies-Doolittle

I'd put Kate Bush's The Dreaming but I have a sneaky suspicion that's considered prog.

  Psalm 69 is pretty great but I prefer Land of Rape and Honey. Love that mix of samples: they were such good producers.
 
The piano version is my preferred version but I can see the orchestral version being preferred as well. Quite easily.

I just put this on for the first time in at least a year (I haven't been listening to much Death Cab lately). I forgot how good this one was, actually.

Aion by Dead Can Dance is pretty badass.

Strange, can't really make a list. I have plenty, but I can't really decide.

Oh, Reconing by R.E.M is brillian.t

  Excellent choices. More of a Zen Arcade kind of guy myself though. But I'll always get a kick out of Lydia Lunch moaning her way through Death Valley 69...

SonicDeath - were you once on the Zappa forum?  I think I remember you.  Your responses and forum name have a strangely familiar ring to them.

I used to be on the Zappa forum but I haven't really went there too much lately. I always sorta evaporate from forums after awhile when my interest or the forum's interest drops.

That's one I would like to check out. I found it in 1001 albums you must hear before you die.It looked interesting. I like Jobim, and I'm curious about the Sinatra interpretations. It must sound quite different than interpretations from Elis Regina or Astrud Gilberto.

Can't believe I forgot Stevie and Marvin. Shameful. You're probably the first person I know to express preference to the second Buggles album.

SecondedThumbs Up, though DCD are included here as Prog-Folk, so that would make them prog (if one really cares about such dividing lines). I have all of their albums but their debut (which I'd like to get sooner or later), but Aion is probably my favourite, and it was also my introduction to the band.

I've been going through posts on the past two pages going "yep, yep, nope, yep, nope, hell-yeah...." - rather than produce a list that would contain albums already mentioned, I've decided to make my list using bands not yet covered (and I'm taking everything by Siouxsie, The Cure, Bauhaus, Magazine, Joy Division, Nephilim, Sisters, Numan and XTC as a given)
 
1. Comsat Angels - Waiting For a Miracle
2. The Sound - Jeopardy
3. Passage - Pindrop
4. Indigo Falls - s/t
5. Cocteau Twins - Victorialand
6. Shelleyan Orphan - Helleborine
7. Paradise Lost - Draconian Times
8. My Dying Bride - Angel And The Dark River
9. Sarah Brightman - The Fly
10. Toyah - Sheep Farming In Barnet
 
What?
