[Mr November]

This post is motivated by purely selfish reasons. I get 5 free track downloads every month through my bank account and have found the best way to use them is to get 5 tracks on the last day of one month and 5 tracks on the first day of the next month and voila I've got a whole album.
I'll start with my favourite 10 song album which is Hit to Death in the Future Head by The Flaming Lips. I know it officially has 11 tracks but as the last track is 20 minutes of a feedback loop which I've only ever managed to get all the way through twice I'm discounting it.
I'm hopeful of some good answers here so thanks in advance.
