Interesting list. Fantastic variety covering a range of genres, styles and decades. I'm a big fan of SOAD so great to see the Hypnotize / Mezmerize albums in there. Also bravo for inclusion of Devo, Lily Allen and Split Enz. Great list.

Great list! Definitely not run-of-the-mill. Very eclectic and individual (the Beatles and Beefheart alongside... Miley?), with some artists I'm yet to discover. The kind of list that makes BAE so great.

Thanks for the rating and comment 'pctrooper', it's great to find people with similar tastes! I loved Pawn Hearts from the moment I heard it, Peter Hammill has got to be one of the greatest vocalists of all time?! I've always thought of 666 as an 'experience' rather than an album!haha! Same with Trout Mask Replica, I don't know why they grip me so much but they had such an effect on me, I'd never heard anything like it before (and probably haven't since!) Frank Zappa and Cpt Beefheart are always my go to artists if I need something to listen to. Also I saw Tony Mcphee live around 15 years ago and he played a lot of Split which was amazing!
Thanks again!

Excellent #1 choice. I also like Split quite a lot... and Devo is super cool. I've never been able to listen to 666 all the way through cause I get bored, but "The Four Horseman" is a good track. Same with Trout Mask Replica; I just lose interest in that album after 10 minutes or so, but I love "Ella Guru". Lots of great albums on here, though.
