2. Blonde on Blonde
3. Desire
4. New Morning
5. Highway 61 Revisited
6. The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan
7. Bringing It All Back Home
8. John Wesley Harding
9. Another Side of Bob Dylan
10. The Times They Are A-Changin'
11. Nashville Skyline
12. Time Out of Mind
13. Bob Dylan
14. Oh Mercy
15. Street Legal
16. Planet Waves
17. Slow Train Coming
18. Love and Theft
19. Modern Times
20. Good As I Been to You

Japanther - Skuffed Up My Huffy

Wow. What an awesome sound. Reminds me a bit of Death From Above with the bass and drum combo, but Japanther is much more "noisy". I love their use of samples too. '$100 Cover' is a great song...

One of the few albums that both my father and I agree is near impeccable; amidst a lot of lame AOR that raped airwaves around the late 70's, this sucker still burns nicely in the present day.

Swans - Soundtracks For the Blind

http://static.boomkat.com/images/124169/333.jpg

One of the most brain-meltingly immense mindfuck albums and absolutely spot on for this time of night. Kinda wish I'd heard it when I was doing the top 100 now.

^ Latter-day Swans is sooooo good, makes their eternal '80s output sound like trash. And considering how good their early material was, that's certainly saying something. Public Castration Is a Good Idea, White Light from the Mouth of Infinity and The Great Annihilator are all fantastic too.

Choir Of Young Believers - This Is For The White In Your Eyes

"Hollow Talk" is definitely my favorite song. I love the way it builds up and the fact that the song is both melancholic but also somewhat hopeful.

It's such a beautiful album! last fm describes them/him as "somewhere between low key folk and orchestral indie pop".. usually i like music to be simple, but even though they use lots of different instruments and the music gets a little grandiose sometimes it doesn't bother me at all with this album :D

I actually first heard of Soundtracks when I was reading this review of Scott Walker's the Drift on amazon, which called it another one of the scariest albums of all-time. Can definitely see where the guy was coming from with that little remark.

Erik Satie - Piano Works

Absolutely gorgeous stuff. As far as classical piano goes, it's a lot less crazy than some of the Rachmaninov I've heard, yet so richly textured and colourful. Straight out of the top drawer then (judging by the first listen at least).
