So many more I could add , what about you? I've left Bill Nelson out on purpose you might like to do the same with your second/third favourite artistes

Five 'essential' albums from artists other than our top favourites? Excellent idea.

I think we should also vow to listen to at least one album that we have never heard before from everyone else's choice

Goldfrapp - Felt Mountain
Cuckooland - Robert Wyatt
Exile on Main Street - The Rolling Stones
Blue Sunshine - The Glove
Chelsea Girl - Nico

5 essential albums:

The Specials: More Specials

Beastie Boys: Pauls Boutique

Six By Seven: The Way I Feel Today

Global Communication:76.14

Plastikman:Consumed

.......

Fine idea of yours too Martin I'll dig out the Goldfrapp one

Here's another five in the meantime

KIMONO MY HOUSE -SPARKS
ALADDIN SANE-DAVID BOWIE
SO TOUGH-ST ETIENNE
SHEER HEART ATTACK -QUEEN
STRANGEWAYS ,HERE WE COME-THE SMITHS

I'm going to look into that weird German thing you listed in the opening post there Ivan.

This forum is a great place for discovering new music.

Gavin - I like Plastikman, but don't know the album you listed.

It will be tricky to ease out all my favourites, but here goes nothing - all of these records are VERY important to me:

Grand Drive "True Love and High Adventure"
Adem "Homesongs"
John Cale "Hobo Sapiens"
Lambchop "Is a Woman"
The Cure "Disintegration"

Its ...... essential.

T-Pau - 'Rage'

U2 - 'Boy'

The Cure - Pornography
