Shouldn't be too hard to leave with my taste intact.  Anything involving Pete Steele pretty much guarantees it (I don't think Type O Negative can ever be forgiven for October Rust).

See, for me, Screaming For Vengance was overall a better Priest album, although Painkiller was a lot harder.

My favorite Bauhaus was actually Rest In Peace: The Final Concert (which later became an ironic title; stupid bands reuniting) which I unfortunately no longer own.

KMFDM failed to impress me live, although recorded they aren't that bad.

And I'm surprised you didn't include My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult's Confessions of a Knife.  I figured it'd be right up your alley.

Good looks on most of the others though.  The ones I recognize, anyways. :P

What's wrong with October Rust o.o

Yeah, what you're forgetting though you see, along with a lot of others, is that this is an 'essential records' list. Not a 'your favourite records of all time' list. It should be the basics and the classics, with personal bias of course, but still. There's no Skyclad on the list for example, unthinking for me. And there's many better punk albums than Never Mind the Bollocks, however it has to be included for it's seminal nature. There are tonnes of classic albums and artists from every genre left off (I'd mention Siouxsie and the Banshees, Nosferatu and Christian Death for goth before MLWtTKK personally), but that's besides the point. I tried to fulfill the purpose, with only a few cop-outs (seriously though, that Dead Can Dance box set will be some of the best money you ever spend). Now, if we were talking 'essential black metal albums'* or something, it would be totally different of course.

*For black black, the Burzum, Venom and Darkthrone listed, plus Mayhem - De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas, Immortal - Battles in the North, Emperor - In the Nightside Eclipse, Ulver - Nattens Madrigal, Sigh - Scorn Defeat, Carpathian Forest - Defending the Throne of Evil, and Bathory - Under the Sign of the Black Mark, and I'll stop there.

No not forgetting that at all.  Painkiller for example, is a great Priest album.  But not nearly as seminal or even essential as Screaming For Vengeance or, better yet, British Steel when considering the strengths and high points for the group's work as a whole.

Similarly, while Angst includes the brilliant "Sucks" and "A Drug Against War," it's nowhere near as "essential" a KMFDM album as Naive.

So in the end, if we're talking about essential albums that everyone should own then we need to think about the term in the abstract, regardless of personal preference in sound and taste.  I'm with you, more or less, on your choices for Bauhaus and even the Sisters of Mercy, as those two choices would no doubt represent the best of their respective works and the defining sound for each specific band.  But whereas Bauhaus represents an essential album, since that was more or less the defining element of the goth sound, I don't know that SoM's Floodland would warrant the same attention.  

So what then is the criteria for essential?  Essential for you is obviously something different than what it is to me, but either way it needs to be something that either (a) shook the foundations of music and/or changed the landscape of a respective sound or genre, and/or (b) represents the absolute best of said genre/artist.  SoM may fall into the b category, but nothing they did was extraordinarily influential.

That said, while I made comments on what you consider to be essential, I never really gave any of my own.  A few:

Queen - A Night At The Opera
David Bowie - The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars
The Beatles - The White Album
Fleetwood Mac - s/t
Orbital - Orbital
The Orb - The Orb's Adventures Beyond The Ultraworld
Public Enemy - It Takes A Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back
Boogie Down Productions - Criminal Minded
Run D.M.C. - Raising Hell
Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation
LTJ Bukem Presents - Logical Progression
Metalheadz Presents - Platinum Breakz

I disagree on that. 'Floodland' is, even if it may only really be because of This Corrosion, as stereotypically goth as you can get, in the amount of people that own it, and I believe in their influence as well. There are a good few goth bands who have some influences from the sisters, really. Plus, it's probably more accessible than a lot of Bauhaus.

Probably, but this is for CD's. I have yet to see the actual live concert/movie of Stop Making Sense, so I can't be a judge. All I know is that just about everyone rates The Name of higher than Making Sense, and I agree.

Probably, but this is for CD's. I have yet to see the actual live concert/movie of Stop Making Sense, so I can't be a judge. All I know is that just about everyone rates The Name of higher than Making Sense, and I agree.


If we're talking CDs, then "The Name of The Band" is so massively superior that it makes babies' faces explode. Although I seriously reccomend seeing the movie; it really is the best concert film ever.

but the music sucks because the keyboards don't have the cold/mechanical sound they had but a wannabe techno sound that it's pathetic for Rammstein standars.

Bonus points for the Queensryche mention.

I've heard a lot about Queensryche. They interest me, for some reason or another.

Anything with Franz Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No.2


Curses for ruining my sense of gleefully outlandish and superior musical taste, I own that on cassette. *shakes fist*


But you DO agree that it is awesome, right?
