Our top ten studio albums from favourite acts

^ Yep, it really does not matter. Still I think if I focused on GY!BE's and Rush's 90s to early 2000s runs, or second and third albums of each, GY!BE could do well comparatively. But I would not want to be accused of rigging such a poll even if it might make the results more even as one is way better known and much more popular/talked about band at PA. Just a thought...

Cocteau Twins

Heaven or Las Vegas (1990)
Treasure (1984)
Head Over Heels (1983)
Aikea-Guinea (1985, EP)
Garlands (1982)
Blue Bell Knoll (1988)
Victorialand (1986)
The Moon and the Melodies (1986)*
Four-Calendar Café (1993)
Milk & Kisses (1996)

Note: I included The Moon and the Melodies which is basically Cocteau Twins plus Harold Budd, so a collaboration. Songs like "She Will Destroy You" and "Sea, Swallow Me" are wonderful to my ears.

Mine is much the same and could be substituted with yours. This band is amazing and my favourite band from Canada -- do I feel a Rush vs. GY!BE poll coming on?

I just have the usual suspects, the studio albums with LegEnd, Unrest, Desperate Straights, In Praise of Learning and Western Culture, as well as the live Concerts. All are great.

I have 16 Henry Cow but only 5 are studio a albums.

^ I had to stream an EP for Radiohead to get up to ten. Magma I have lots by, including lives, and very happily I was given one live CD by a member of this forum as well as many others recently. I had heard the album, one of its best lives for me, but did not own it. Not expected by that person, but I want to send something back in return, just not sure what yet. As for The Necks, I would have a few more to go. Hanging Gardens is one of the biggest music highlights I have been exposed to in the past decade. Such a great album, imo.
