    In no particular order and using BM`s rule - one artist , one album . A small list of albums that have shared times with me , each representing a point of "living" rather than "eixisting" within the `strapped to a rocket of death experience` we call life . 

    1. Human League - Travelogue
    2. FGTH - Welcome to the Pleasuredome
    3. Faithless - Outrospective
    4. OMD - Organisation
    5. Soft Cell - The Art of Falling Apart
    6. Kraftwerk - Man Machine
    7. Jon and Vangelis - Friends of Mr Cairo
    8. Goldfrapp - Black Cherry
    9. ABC - Lexicon of Love 
    10. Oasis - Whats the Story
    11. Erasure - The Innocents
    12. Leftfield - Leftism
    14. ELO - Secret Messages
    15. Deadmau5 - 4x4=12
    16. Frankmusik - Complete Me
    17. Royksopp - Junior
    18. Eric Prydz - Pryda
    19. Benny Benassi - Pumphonia
    20. Shamen - Axis Mutatis

    Individual tracks are more important to me mostly .

    Cheers Squirrel, 7 out of 20 ain't bad considering what a complex thing individual taste is, I see we share at least two choices in our top 20, ask me in a week and I may say a few choices differently ;)

    Depeche Mode - Playing the Angel

    Don't make fun of me



    I'm definitely not making fun as my choices are no better or worse.  However, it's quite rare for a DM fan to list that one.  Is that because you got into the band quite late when they deluded themselves into thinking that they are a rock band?

    Hey @Jozzy81 I will list 10 albums I like/love you could try as music similar/influential to Garbage/Goldfrapp I'm sure a few of you could come up with ten completely different suggestions (without wanting to digress from the purpose of this thread of course) Two of those made my top 20, most of the others would be in my top 100, though I am doubtful Ladyhawke or The Pretenders would get in the top 100 , good but not great albums, both more relevant to Garbage influences/bands similar to, most of the choices probably refer more to garbage, some of them influenced or are similar to both artists, anyway here goes

    1. Siouxsie and The Banshees- The Scream
    2. The Pretenders- The Pretenders
    3. T-Rex- Electric Warrior
    4. Blondie- Parallel Lines
    5. Ladyton Light and Magic
    6. Portishead- Dummy
    7. Tricky Maxinquaye
    8. David Bowie- Ziggy Stardust
    9. Kate Bush- Hounds of Love
    10. Ladyhawke- Ladyhawke

    Lots of Joanna Newsom love here. Nice to see. We grew up together, same class at the same private school from 2nd thru 8th grade.

    She has grown into quite the song writer and musician. None of us ever guessed in music class where she would end up taking her harp (although at the time it was mostly a lyre she had with her) musically.

    I really enjoyed all 3 of her albums and each one seems to branch out in more exciting ways...there is a new one soon.

    Yep. :) Rumored for a November release. 
    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...

    Well yes but I do like a lot of their work including early stuff. PTA is my favorite Depeche Mode album though. I don't think they deluded themselves into thinking they're a rock band? I feel they've portrayed themselves as an alternative band.
