Essential Recordings !ALBUMS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT!

Postby BJN » Mon Dec 25, 2006 2:07 am

Which albums (of the 20th and 21st centuries) do you consider to be essential in your collection and recommend that others should have too?

For example,

Faith No More: Angel Dust

Mr Bungle: Disco Volante


which most of you probably already have.

PS:
Oooh... i could add a poll for this! So many possibilities...

Yeah, i need to own that... the first time i heard it i was disappointed, not by the electronics, just the lack of hooks and stuff. i think it i heard it a few times more and it grew on me a little, but i haven't heard it in years. Would definitely like to hear more of it though.
