Joni Mitchell - Hejira

Gary Numan - Replicas
FSOL - Dead Cities
My Bloody Valentine - Loveless
Sex Pistols - Never Mind the Bollocks

Steely Dan - all the early stuff with Denny Dias and Skunk
Baxter featured prominently - Can't Buy a Thrill, Countdown
to Ecstasy, Katy Lied, Pretzel Logic

Most of this electronic shit will not, I think, age well -
certainly not as well as Bitches Brew or Hejira

Funkmaster - personally, I can't stand The Wall. It always
struck me as incredibly dull, and all blended into one. I
love Dark Side, though. Maybe because it was the first Floyd
CD I got. I agree, Meddle is excellent also. I think Dark
Side was their peak, though, and they went downhill
afterwards. I like Wish You Were Here and Animals quite a
bit, though...
