DisintegrationThe Cure
Initial listen: 2004 ~ Influential to many artists over the years but personally, an important album. This album signified the end of my teenage years and inspired me not only in my acting but in my writing.

In RainbowsRadiohead
Initial listen: 2007 ~ 10 tracks, no filler. Unlike other Radiohead albums, each song has its place in the order and can equally be listened to outside of the strucutre. Reckoner is a highlight.

AbsolutionMuse
Initial listen: 2003 ~ If the world was collapsing around me, the soundtrack of the demise would be Absolution. Even though they may show strong influences from previous bands, their talent is not lost on many listeners and fans.

EcholaliaSomething For Kate

Wish You Were HerePink Floyd
Initial listen: 2007 ~ A recent rediscovery that lends itself to criticism over its length. However the five songs are crafted in such a way that the bookends of Shine On You Crazy Diamond seem to go forever and fade in eternity.

Was fortunate to live in Australia for awhile. Fell in love with the music scene immediately. Changed my entire outlook to the point I abandoned pop radio in favor of "alt rock". Been searching out great music ever since. Thanks for posting such a great chart - gonna have to check out your Aussie bands now.

Hey, I was going to recommend Lifeblood many times in the past because I thought it would be a sound from the Manic Street Preachers that you would like. Then I saw it on your best of 2004 chart today :)

I owe you a debt of thanks for several albums which I saw first on your chart. Particularly Teenage Snuff Film and all those Elbow albums.
