I can really sympathize with your love of Scary Monsters. Both it and Funeral resonated with me on such a personal, intimate, emotional level that it's difficult to look at them with any pretense of objectivity! I'll definitely check out a couple of albums on this list I'm not familiar with.

I adore your chart. A very personal selection. My chart has many similarities. I've got lots of Roxy albums but not Siren - will have to check this out. Have you heard the early Eno albums - the ones with songs? I think you would like them.

Bowie, Arcade Fire, Pink Floyd, Iggy Pop, Joy Division - the recipes of a great chart!
