Though this might be a bit of fun!

Mine.... Hejira by Joni Mitchell..

Why...

Coz her voice is just so damn cool. Gentle and angry at the same time and JP plays bass on it..

Hmmmm, this isn't easy first reaction would be Nine Inch Nails 'The Downward Spiral'
But I can't forget Tool 'aenima'
Or Faith No More 'King for a day .......Fool for a Lifetime'

Favorite Electronic album Autechre 'Tri Repetae'
Narcotic Influence By Emperion was the first techno track I knew by name.
I still love that track..........."giving them drugs taking their lives away"

And what about Infected Mushroom 'classic mushroom' or 'converting vegetarians'??

The longer I sit here the more I think of !

Orbital - The brown album

Because it's the most finished cd I know... there's nothing in there that shouldn't be in there... an because after 10 or so years it can still send chills down my spine...

Tricky - Maxinquaye

A very closed 2nd... when I first heard it, it was very different to what I was used to... it still is really... claustrophobic in a warm way.

Both are real masterpieces... untill recently I wasn't even able to play them in the car because I just couldn't concentrate on traffic anymore.
If you don't know them I'd suggest you listen to them... but then that's what probably everyone thinks about that favorite cd's...

Its taken me awhile to realise this but twenty years later I still listen to Murmur in its entirety. I could name more than a few "favorites" for a lot of different reasons but Murmur strikes some sort of sublime emotional chord that resonates in my psyche and has done so for a long time, its something visceral. Perhaps its something about Mitch Easter's production, something that I've never been able to put my finger on, that gives that record a feeling like no other I've ever listened to. There are some very haunting moments, an almost ethereal quality to some of the tracks yet there is nothing terribly sophisticated sounding about it all. It would be easy for me to pick something else for a number of "intellectual" reasons but there is no other record I've ever listened to so consistantly for such a long period of time. It must be my favorite.

Of course, its also an artifact of a time period that will never happen again in my personal history or rock & roll's so I can't discount that influence. Murmur came along at a time when independent music and college radio mattered most, was still under the radar, still had an innocence about it and had yet to become self aware. Anyone who listened to college radio from around 1978 to 1986 may know what I mean. Murmur almost seems like a sort of place marker for that era.

The Cocteau Twins' "Blue Bell Knoll" would most likely be next. Nanci Griffith's "One Fair Summer Evening" might follow but then again so might Future Bible Heroes' "Memories of Love". I would be remiss if I didn't consider David Bowie's "Hereos" but Its probably more of a "creatively influential fav" sort of thing than personal fav if you know what I mean. "Rocket to Russia" and "My Brain Hurts" couldn't be left off any sort of list but of course this isn't a list.
If it was...
