Róisín Murphy - Ruby Blue
Was singing If We're In Love in the shower this morning. Too good.

Björk - Post
This album is probably not as cohesive as the rest in terms of an overarching sound but it's my favourite because they're all stellar.

Bat For Lashes - Two Suns
Melancholic and beautiful . Her cover of I'm on Fire is easily in my top 5 favourite songs.

The Knife - Silent Shout
I'll never get tired of listening to this album.

Moloko - Statues
The closing track, Over & Over is flawless. Dat intro.

The only thing I will say about them is that they all marked a significant point in my musical timeline for different reasons. There isn't a song on any of these albums that I will skip.

Yeah fair enough. I heard them separately on first listens so they stuck in my head as distinct albums. Wasn't until I grabbed the discs that I realized they came together.
Did you dig Monomania?

Yup, I even made the thread for it. Only song I didn't like from it is Pensacola.

Not going to order these, as that would drive me crazy.

The Beatles- Abbey Road
Daft Punk - Discovery
The Who - Who's Next
Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin IV
Queen - A Night at the Opera

Kept compilation albums out, as I think that would be cheating.
