isn't it called Coming up? Anyway I couldn't possibly make a list like that, it would be completely random and differ from time to time. Maybe when I get geld enough to actually buy cds ;)

SuperSUGA:
Righto, let's see if I can manage this without losing what little credibility I have... Afraid I only have time to think of 10, in no particular order, and they'll be accompanied by five word explanations and a highlight.
Weezer - Pinkerton
Raw, sensitive, complex, what happened??
Highlight: "Falling for You" Solo - scratchy and noisey but beautiful.
The Velvet Underground - The Velvet Underground & Nico
Sorry, obvious, awesome, groundbreaking, heroin?
Highlight: "Venus in Furs" 1:33 as the Viola comes to the front of the chorus briefly before the whole thing drifts back into it's droning march.
The Beatles - Revolver
Best Beatles Album, band maturing.
Highlight: "Tommorow Never Knows" The whole thing, I still can't imagine how this would have sounded back in 1966, you could have told me this was recorded last week and I'd believe you.
Rage Against the Machine - Rage Against the Machine
Angry, Bewildering Guitar, Incredible Debut.
Highlight: "You've got a Bullet in your F*cking Heeaaaad!!!"
Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea
Fuzz, Saws, Annoyingly Good Lyrics.
Highlight: "King of Carrot Flowers Parts 2 & 3" 1:17 - We're introduced to the brass section, taken spiralling up and then by 1:36 we're thrown face first back into the mud wondering what's going on.
Jeff Wayne - War of the Worlds (aah, THERE goes my credibility)
My Childhood, Martians, OOOOLAAA!
Highlight: "The Chances of Anything Coming from Mars..." You can't really pick a highlight out of this.
Smashing Pumpkins - Melon Collie and the Infinite Sadness
Overbearing, Pretentious, Ambitious, Fantastic! Long!
Highlight: "Zero" 1:15 - Whammy! good stuff!
The Rentals - Seven More Minutes
Diverse, Thick, Layered, Insightful, Harmonies.
Highlight: "Overlee" second chorus. Just such a rich, layered texture to the sound. Synths, guitars, male and female vocals all harmonising. Beautiful stuff.
Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures
It's been said... dark etc.
Highlight: Showing the album to people who've only heard "love will tear us apart" and think they like Joy Division
The Olivia Tremor Control - Black Foliage Animation Music Vol. 1
Should hate this. Schizophrenic, interesting!
Highlight: "I Have been Floated" and every other time you start to grow tired of the bleeps and noise and out of nowhere some catchy pop jumps out at you.

Forgiven, especially as Spy vs. Spy is only 7 tracks long. Also, awesome!
