Nirvana - Nevermind

Discovery by Daft Punk is a no skip for me. Also food and liquor by lupe fiasco.

Tool - Aenima

Sky Cries Mary - A Return to the Inner Experience

Dead Can Dance - Spirit chaser

Depeche Mode - Violator

Faith No More - The Real Thing.

“Gorillaz - Demon Days” It is like a story unfolding, where they really have fun with the music, and effortlessly meld through different genres.

Ok, now that more people have posted long lists, I don’t feel so bad about mine ;)

• Arcade Fire – Funeral
• Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti – Before Today
• At The Drive-In – Relationship of Command (also their EPs Vaya and In/Casino/Out)
• Kae Tempest – Let Them Eat Chaos
• Mercury Rev – Deserter’s Songs
• My Morning Jacket – Z
• Public Service Broadcasting – Every Valley
• Radiohead – OK Computer
• Radiohead – In Rainbows
• The Decemberists – Picaresque
• The Diggs – Commute
• The Dismemberment Plan – Emergency & I
• The Libertines – s/t
• The Mars Volta – Deloused in the Comatorium
• The Notwist – Shrink
• Tokyo Police Club – A Lesson in Crime (just a fantastic debut; barely an album though)

German:

• Deichkind – Niveau Weshalb Warum

Some may be an acquired taste (PSB?, also I know that The Libertines’ is not everyone’s favorite – but it’s mine :). The Arcade Fire, even though I don’t listen to them these days that much, is decade-defining for me, as is Radiohead’s OK Computer (together with Nevermind, although for some reason it didn’t make this list).

Blackwater Park - Opeth

Reading through these posts I’m totally blown away by the diversity of some of the posters’ selections. Also…a LOT of albums I need to check out!!

• The Hotelier - Home, Like Noplace Is There
• Fugazi - The Argument
• Slint - Spiderland
• American Football - LP1
• toe - The Book About My Idle Plot On A Vague Anxiety
• The Cure - Disintegration
• TTNG - Animals
• Sunny Day Real Estate - How It Feels to Be Something On
• At The Drive-in - Relationship of Command
• Brand New - The Devil And God Are Raging Inside Me

For more mainstream music, I have to put forward “By the Way” by the Red Hot Chili Peppers and “Demon Days” by the Gorillaz. For a slightly deeper cut, “The Protomen” (a.k.a. “Act I”) and “Act II: The Father of Death” by the Protomen. I usually jump through shuffled music or skip songs, but these albums are all ones that I can listen to straight through.

A few that I don’t see mentioned …

• Carol King - Tapestry
• Pearl Jam - Yield
• Van Morrison - Moondance
• Fountains of Wayne - self titled

A New World Record by ELO.

Pearl Jam’s Ten for me
