Mmm, you're speaking my language.
Anyway, using tommydski's criteria (ie desert island album) I'd probably choose either Selected Ambient Works Vol. 2, Talkin' Honky Blues, or Autechre's Tri Repetae++ all of which have consistently thrilled me since I've gotten them.

Also Discovery by Daft Punk and Aphex Twin's Selected Ambient Works, pt. 2.

I think Homeworck and SAW 85-92 are more "essential," but as it's been said, it's a matter of taste.
I think more people need to hear Slowdive's Souvlaki.

A good deal of them. I have all Sol Invictus' and Skyclad's releases in one form or another, with the sole exception of Classix Shape, and most Coil (though not all the side projects, not listed here). My Death in June and Current 93 collections are a little more spotty. Some of the C93 in particular is silly rare, like the album that was only released as an accompaniement to a Thomas Ligotti book. I have all of what you might call the 'primary' albums, however.

This is a better way of looking at it. Is there one album which is essential to your happiness? As in, which single album would you take to a desert island in an attempt to preserve your sanity?

Yeah, in that case it would be Angra's Temple of Shadows. I've largely moved on from listening to power metal as a whole, but pretty much any song on that album will get me an adrenaline rush, and it's been that way for 3 years straight now.
