Hector Gilbert:
It's my 19th birthday today so I'll be splashing out pretty soon.  Even then my wish-list is far too big, so I'd like to read your thoughts on what albums I should look into out of these:

Gryff:
Hmm, that's a long list. Looking at the first page I say Buzzcocks Singles Going Steady, because it is amazing from start to finish. Perfect pop songs.

practicality:
I'd go with the New Pornographers.

KharBevNor:
Arsis (Or, why Joey Jordison isn't that hot a drummer)
Borknagar
Christian Death
At least one of the Current 93 albums. I'd have to check the track listings, but In Menstrual Night should be pretty good (well, it will include 'Happy Birthday Pigface Christus', one of my favourite Current 93 songs) If you're looking to start listening to Current though, I'd recommend maybe a live album (Cats Drunk on Copper is great), but if you're fleshing out, go for whatever. But Current 93 are the shit.
Dissection - Storm of the Light's Bane is an almost indispensible classic.
I was going to suggest Jaktens Tid over Nattfodd if you were new to Finntroll, but on reflection, Nattfodd does rather slay. Get it.
In Gowan Ring
Kayo Dot/Maudlin of the Well (don't get both, one or the other. I'd personally say the Kayo Dot, but up to you ultimately)
The Moon Lay Hidden Beneath a Cloud (good man!)
One of the Nurse With Wounds at least.
Tubular Bells. A Wonderful album. Get vinyl.
Satyricon (early Satyricon is the win)
Sol Invictus - The Blade (Not my first choice, but the best of the two there. Have you got 'Death of the West'? If not, get it)
SOPOR AETERNUS AND THE ENSEMBLE OF SHADOWS!!! (A wonderful album. Have you got both faces of Dead Lovers Sarabande though? (do they even come seperately?). If not, get that.)
Type O Negative (One! Two! Three! Four! I don't wanna live no more!)
Wagner. If you can get the whole thing. Vinyl please.

El Opium:
That's a very long but very nice list with a lot of albums I'd love to own myself. I have all of these albums myself:

Arvo Part-Tabula Rasa
-The only classical album I owned for a very long time. I don't feel that I can say enough about the sheer sweeping power of this album especially late at night when the thoughts of the day have left you.

Public Image Limited-Metal Box/Second Edition
A wonderfully propulsive hymm to decayed inner city life and negative states of mind. If you've got a record player I highly reccomeding acquireing a vinyl copy as all the CD versions are infamously bad sounding.

Mercury Rev-See You On The Other Side
I find this one just sounds like a less fancy Desserter's Songs. If you want something sweet get the forementioned, if you want something crazy get Boces.

Mission of Burma-Vs.
I found this to be a reasonable album but it lacks any great number of standout tracks and just doesn't compell me to listen to it very often.

Slowdive-Souvlaki
One of my all time favorite albums. In my opinion there is no way you can go wrong with this one.

Sunn 0))-OO Void
Never got into this one that much. It's heavy, slow and depressing beyond words.

Wolf Eyes-Dread
Neither the best nor the worst item in Wolf Eye's discography. The first three songs are very good and the closer rather a letdown. I tend to find myself listening to Slicer with a lot more frequency.

I heard these were awesome but I've not heard them in their entireity:
Amon Duul II-Phallus Dei
Ash Ra Temple-S/T
Peter Brotzman-Machine Gun (I've heard the title track and can't believe it's intensity).
The Fall-Hex Enduction Hour
