What a complete mind-f/ck, that one is! It's the only grindcore record with country and western breakdowns.

It's the album that got me into Zorn, and started my avant-garde obsession.

Of Montreal's Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer is probably my favourite album, and I've listened to that something like 120 times since February.

Usually the spins-per-year decline as time passes, but my favourite albums tend to be around the mark of 100 plays in the first year.

Love - Forever Changes 9.5/10
Charles Mingus - The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady 9.4/10
Miles Davis - Kind of Blue 9.3/10
Pink Floyd - The Dark Side of the Moon 9.3
Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea 9.1

Oh ok I get you know. The list is a little eclectic but to be honest I prefer that variation to say, a list with only 10 Metal albums or 10 pop albums for example.

I see where you're coming from, and this is why I hate Rolling Stone magazine, their "Best Albums Of All Time" list seems to comprise mostly of Beatles albums and 60's pop.

Top five albums for each genre... maybe, but for all time? I don't think I'm capable of doing that...

I guess most of The Beatle's albums in the top 10 deserve to be there except Rubber Soul which is a bit overrated in my eyes.
