Marcus Garvey is a sick album. I haven't listened to it for years - will probably soulseek it later.

Trying to type things on a phone's buttons
Roky Erickson Longbranch Saloon
& Pharaoh Sanders You've Got To Have Freedom (especially disc 1)

& yeah Marcus Garvey really is something else. I always found it mixed well inot Can and electric Miles davis among other stuff.
Got a weird spaciousness.

Henry Threadgill 5. I'm not familiar with his Air stuff so probably glaring omissions, but he's a marvel imo.

Henry Threadgill Sextett - Rag, Bush and All
Henry Threadgill Sextett - You Know The Number
Henry Threadgill & Very Very Circus - Spirit of Nuff .... Nuff
Henry Threadgill - Too Much Sugar For a Dime
Henry Threadgill & Make A Move - Where's Your Cup

OK if we're all just taking the piss now here's the last 5 albums I recently enjoyed more than most:

The Blood Brothers - Young Machetes
Efterklang - Parades
...And You Will Know us by the Trail of Dead - Tao of the Dead
A Forest of Stars - Beware the Sword You Cannot See
Ruins - Tzomborgha

I prefer Threadgill's non-Air stuff myself. All those albums are great.

He is so great, I only just got into him last year with his zooid In for a penny album, which I thought was pretty great. But much of his 90's/00's output is amazing.

black dice - beaches & canyons
hole - celebrity skin
cassie - s/t
ruff sqwad - guns & roses vol. 2
meat puppets - II

^^ top of my head. today.

Ruins - Tzomborgha

ooooh, yeah!

I mean, some days I swear Ruins is the greatest thing on the planet

Saint Etienne - So Tough
Moose - Live A Little, Love A Lot
Rachel Stevens - Come And Get It

jefferson airplane - surrealistic pillow
jefferson airplane - after bathing at baxters

winner

Sleep - Dopesmoker
Darkthrone - A Blaze in the Northern Sky
The Congos- Heart of the Congos
Pet Shop Boys - Actually
Igor Stravinsky - The Rite of Spring

hah I see someone else just nommed Actually!

yeah, If I had to pick one album, it would probably be that one.

I went for Behaviour but it's hard to argue with Actually. Very was on a couple of lists at the beginning of the thread as well. Those are the three Pet Shop masterpieces for me.

69 Love Songs

No Lloyd Cole?

I think he'll have to be at #6 with his first solo LP.

It's a close-run thing for sure.

But "69 Love Songs" is a triple album. Doesn't that count as three?

Nah, there have been plenty of double albums mentioned itt
