Rank	Album	Band
1. (=)	Replicas	Tubeway Army
	The first listen gave me goosebumps and it remains one of my most played records. I was born at the right time to be an early teen who was ready for the birth of the dark synth sound.
	Year of Release: 1979 Appears in: 10 charts Rank in 1979: 40 Rank Score: 394 Rank in 1970s 371 Overall Rank: 1,672 Download / Buy Replicas on MP3:
	Buy album             Use the iTunes, Amazon or eBay buttons to safely buy this item from one of the world's top online stores.
2. (=)	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: 22 charts Rank in 2005: 25 Rank Score: 809 Rank in 2000s 207 Overall Rank: 910 Download / Buy Aerial on MP3:

3. (=)	The Pleasure Principle	Gary Numan
	A masterpiece of swirling chords, and a groundbreaking record at its time which launched the world of synth based music. Still an album that has a unique sound of its own.
	Year of Release: 1979 Appears in: 22 charts Rank in 1979: 28 Rank Score: 585 Rank in 1970s 282 Overall Rank: 1,203 Download / Buy The Pleasure Principle on MP3:
	Buy album             Use the iTunes, Amazon or eBay buttons to safely buy this item from one of the world's top online stores.
4. (=)	Ultra	Depeche Mode
	Dark electronics mixed with guitar rifts and even some orchestral strings. This was Depeche Mode's finest and most varied album which feels gothic at times.
	Year of Release: 1997 Appears in: 11 charts Rank in 1997: 33 Rank Score: 504 Rank in 1990s 306 Overall Rank: 1,379 Download / Buy Ultra on MP3:
	Buy album             Use the iTunes, Amazon or eBay buttons to safely buy this item from one of the world's top online stores.
5. (=)	Hounds Of Love	Kate Bush
	Kate's most popular album and the most creative, mixing a series of great story led songs with a conceptial journey that really mixes up the styles. Cloudbusting is one of my favourite songs of all time.
	Year of Release: 1985 Appears in: 102 charts Rank in 1985: 2 Rank Score: 4,331 Rank in 1980s 25 Overall Rank: 203 Download / Buy Hounds Of Love on MP3:

6. (=)	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: 26 charts Rank in 1976: 10 Rank Score: 1,418 Rank in 1970s 139 Overall Rank: 550 Download / Buy A Trick Of The Tail on MP3:

7. (8) 1	Rumours	Fleetwood Mac
	A classic album with a mix of great vocals and superb songs with excellent guitar work throughout. Every track is a winner.
	Year of Release: 1977 Appears in: 304 charts Rank in 1977: 1 Rank Score: 14,882 Rank in 1970s 11 Overall Rank: 45 Download / Buy Rumours on MP3:
	Buy album             Use the iTunes, Amazon or eBay buttons to safely buy this item from one of the world's top online stores.
8. (7) 1	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 the bands best album.
	Year of Release: 1975 Appears in: 527 charts Rank in 1975: 1 Rank Score: 32,071 Rank in 1970s 4 Overall Rank: 15 Download / Buy Wish You Were Here on MP3:

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.
