I really like your chart - I have 12 similar albums in mine including some rather less popular choices such as Pro's & Con's (amazing Roger) and Beautiful Freak - Eels are so underrated.
But hey - how can you go with the tag of ZiggyStardust and it only comes in at 11 in your chart! Diamond Dogs is superb - Sweet Thing top tune, but Rock n Roll With Me is one of my best ever tunes - his voice is superb.
I really like Suede and slowly getting their albums having got into them via Singles Collection, Floyd and Radiohead big fans and know that stuff well; recently catching up on Springstein and impressed; Beatles and Dire Straits - of course; and although I don't have Nick Cave stuff he's on my list to explore and I might start with your top choices as we have lost in common here - that's a benefit I have found about this site.
