Zeichnungen Des Patienten O. T.Einstürzende Neubauten
This album is terrifying,It’s like a horror movie,but even more shocking,It actually makes you feel like playing an unscripted role.It’s not only the music, but also the various aspects of sound effects and techs.Every song creates a haunting horror atmosphere and illustrates frightening and often violent imaginations.In some ways it is a heart pounding adventure.Favorite track:Neun Arme

Oh, YES. Porcupine Tree at #1! Thank you, that made my day.

(BTW, instead of creating a 1-album-per-band chart, you may want to consider listing your favourites in order and using the decade and year charts to show all the other music you like).

The basics: covered. the past: covered. the present: covered. prog rock: a favorite. Solid representation of rap, punk, indie, metal, hard rock and other genres. A great chart. Love the commentary. The last 40 deserve the same treatment as the first 60. And don't apologize for liking a popular album. Sometimes bands get good pr. Sometimes an album is just great.
