I'd probably have to spend some time thinking of actual albums, but let's see how this goes. ^_^
1. Pink Floyd - The Wall. Not much more that needs saying. Not just a seminal album, but responsible for one of the all-time great music videos.
2. Studio Killers (self titled). Absolutely love that style of electropop - fabulous stuff. I'm entirely pleased that, when I had money, I spent a bit of it on helping them play Ilosaarirock.
3. The Skids - Days in Europa. Haven't listened to it in a while, and should remedy that.
4. JMJ - Oxygene et al. Again, not much I need to add.
5. JMJ - The Time Machine. His latest work, a collaborative effort with other noteworthy performers, recent and established - some great diversity in style, with some being strong echoes of the past, such as with Boys Noize, and some very much their own thing, as with Fuck Buttons.
6. Mike Oldfield - Amarok. An oddity of an album, being a single track (at least, on CD), with quite a range of styles drifting in and out. Not forgetting his not-so-secret Morse code message, too. =:D
7. Orbital - The Box. I've enjoyed a lot of their work, but this felt like the most completely full-bodied album.
8. The "soundtrack" to Monty Python's Life of Brian, which was literally the soundtrack of the entire film, on two LPs.
9. NIN - Pretty Hate Machine. Proved to be quite indispensably cathartic during University. ^_^;
10. Daft Punk - TRON: Legacy OST. One hell of a combination of electronics and symphonics, and an absolute delight to listen to on good headphones.
11. Eurythmics - Be Yourself Tonight. Again, so many great albums, but that held so many tracks I kept listening to repeatedly.
12. Queen - A Kind of Magic. Likewise. ^_^ (And like Eurythmics and Mike Oldfield, amongst those tapes that got a *lot* of play time on the long family roadtrips, as Mum and I both dig their music)
If you've not seen/heard it, PG's soundtrack for The Illusionist was quite glorious. And oh, how many times I've listened to This Town Ain't Big Enough for the Both of Us.. ^_^
