Replicas

Tubeway Army

My first listen gave me goosebumps and it remains one of my most played records. I was just at the right age to enjoy the new darker synth sound and also loved the cover.

Year of Release:	1979	Appears in:	22 charts

Rank in 1970s	376	Overall Rank:	1,710

Aerial

Kate Bush

A musical masterpiece, and a double album that mixes dark brooding tracks with simple piano pieces and then a conceptial jazz inflected journey which is a stunning listen. Great packaging too.

Year of Release:	2005	Appears in:	56 charts
Rank in 2005:	18	Rank Score:	1,448

Ultra

Depeche Mode

Dark electronics mixed with guitar rifts and even some orchestral strings. This was Depeche Mode's most mature and also most varied album.

Year of Release:	1997	Appears in:	32 charts

The Pleasure Principle

Gary Numan

A masterpiece of swirling chords, and a groundbreaking record at its time which launched the new 80s world of synth based music. Still an album that has a unique sound of its own.

Year of Release:	1979	Appears in:	29 charts
Rank in 1979:	41	Rank Score:	529

Wish You Were Here

Pink Floyd

Music to sit back and absorb, becoming both exhilirating and relaxing at the same time. Bookended by the classic Shine On You Crazy Diamomd this is for me their best album.

Year of Release:	1975	Appears in:	866 charts
Rank in 1975:	1	Rank Score:	46,137

A Trick Of The Tail

Genesis

A beautiful album filled with lovely guitar work and storyline led songs. This is atmospheric and intricate with a slightly softer approach. Great album cover and artwork too.

Year of Release:	1976	Appears in:	52 charts

Rumours

Fleetwood Mac

A classic album with a mix of great vocals and superb catchy songs with excellent guitar work throughout. Every track is a winner here.

...And Then There Were Three

Genesis

Despite losing key band members, this album has such a lovely ambiance with great use of keyboard chords and wonderful storyline songs.

Hounds Of Love

Kate Bush

Kate's most popular album and the most creative, a series of great story led songs along with a conceptial journey that really mixes up the styles.

Songs Of Faith And Devotion

Depeche Mode

Depeche Mode at their darkest, this album is sometimes menacing in its delivery and has some amazing musical moments such as in 'Judas', 'In Your Room' and 'Higher Love'.

Lots of repeat artists, and most of the music is concentrated in two decades, but I love that Pretzel Logic is in the Top 10.
