    ^ Beautiful list. Props for Max Richter! Have you heard his take on Vivaldi's Four Seasons? Another stunning album.
    I had a king in a tenement castle, lately he's taken to painting the pastel walls brown. He's taken the curtains down. He's swept with the broom of contempt, and the rooms have an empty ring. He's cleaned with the tears of an actor who fears for the laughter's sting...

    Thank you.  I have his take on the Four Seasons.  I must say however that I can't wait for a propper new album.  He has been working on quite a few soundtracks, but I'm longing for a new album really.  Blue Notebooks and Memoryhouse are my favourites. 

    I love that Joni song by the way.  She has three albums on my all time fave albums list.

    Always a little in flux but

    Bjork - Homogenic
    Goldfrapp - Felt Mountain
    Junior Boys - Last Exit
    Neko Case - Blacklisted
    Esthero - Breathe From Another
    Antony & The Johnsons - Swanlights
    Burial - Untrue
    Poe - Hello
    Depeche Mode - Violator
    Tori Amos - Boys For Pele
    PJ Harvey - Is This Desire
    Chet Baker - My Funny Valentine
    Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral
    Iron And Wine - Shephard's Dog
    Tricky - Maxenquaye
    Portishead - Dummy
    Billie Holiday - Lady In Autumn
    Imogen Heap - iMegaphone
    Trespasser William - Different Stars
    Amy Winehouse - Back To Black
    Underworld - A Hundred Days Off
    Melody Gardot - My One And Only Thrill

    These are not in order although Bjork's Homogenic has been my favorite album since it was released and Goldfrapp's Felt Mountain a close second but other than that it's to hard to put them in order.

    hunter





    I know so many people who love Is This Desire. Sadly, I have tried to get into it since it was released, and it has little appeal to me. I'm more a Dry / To Bring You My Love fan. I even prefer Uh Huh Her, which my friends find ridiculous.

    Great list by the way.

    To be honest I can't think of a single PJ Harvey album that I don't like but based on the "fave album" criteria I laid out for myself, no weak songs, album flow, themes and whatnot 'Is This Desire' is my favorite.

    It's a rather dark and violent album...it works very well for me when I'm feeling particularly angry.

    I do love Dry and To Bring You My Love.

    Mmmm, Vespertine live is like the most sensuous hour of making love! I really love her entire catalogue but especially her first four albums are spectacular and the live albums from each of those album's tours are really amazing as well.

    At least you know "some people" on this board will be inclined to...

    I don't really understand the music bashing that happens sometimes...I guess when I was younger I was more of a snob but my tastes have expanded hugely over the last 15 years and continue to everyday so I would never make fun of someone for liking something that I don't.

    Though I am inclined to keep my guilty pleasures on the down low...

    But to help deflect any potential abuse you may get I will stand up and confess my love for one of Madonna's most reviled albums - American Life (I even like the rapping in the title track). >:D<
