Nice,Mr Beast is a great album, Glasgow Mega Snake, and Travel is dangerous are some great songs, and Lateralus is pretty much genre defining. Never heard anyone else who likes sunny day real estate either. 65dos are really good as well, we erer exploding anyway is my favouritre, so are Russian circles. I've not heard the latetst rival sons album but I have gtreat western Valkyrie. Smashing Pumpkins were great.

1. The Cure -Faith
2. PULP - Different Class
3. Suede- Dog man Star or Suede (debut) Love them both!
4. The Cure - Disintigration
5. Echo & the bunnymen - Ocean Rain
6. Depeche mode- Violater
7. David Bowie- Low or Tonight (couldnt decide)
8. My bloody valentine - Loveless
9. Bauhaus - in the flat field
10. Aha - Hunting high and low

I'll decide for you... LOW

HAha! Low IS fantastic. I just like the production of Tonight. Its just screams 1984! Bowie & Tina Turner together on Tonight! You cant help but smile when listening to it! Not the most well written of course (since a couple of songs were written by Iggy Poop and the BeachBoys) But from an engineering stand point it has a lot of things that just stand out as production from the 80's.

I've never heard a Bowie recording that DIDN'T make me smile. But I am Bowie's most rabbid fan.

Mr Beast is a great album

Hell yeah.

Edit: Holy shit, formatting a list is harder than I expected...
