Three favorite albums by bands other than JD/NO?

It's my english...

For me: Interpol - Turn on the bright lights Placebo - Sleeping with ghosts Coldplay

It's good to find new bands.

Wedding Present- George Best St. Etienne- Good Humour Pixies- Death to the Pixies (Compilation though)

I am very disappointing with Placebo, they are stuck in the same old rut where they started from. Couple good songs (more listenable than really good)per album and that's about it.

Echo & The Bunnymen- Ocean Rain The Sound- From the lion's mouth Sétima Legião- A um Deus desconhecido

The last one is from a portuguese band. Augusto will know what I'm talking about

tricky one. (that's not my answer even though he is from Bristol mind!)

depends on moods but some from

his n hers by pulp (is in a different class) doolittle by the pixies had a massive impact a pagan place by the waterboys for those stirring moments reverance/ireverance by faithless for those driving moments the queen is dead for those indie moments whats goin on by marvin gaye for those intimate moments melody by royksopp for those chillin moments

Surfer Rosa - Pixies Definately Maybe - Oasis Nevermind - Nirvana

Always changing, but at the moment:

Oasis - Definitely Maybe Smiths - The Queen is Dead Guns 'n' Roses - Use Your Illusion I & II

GnR is two albums which is a cheat, but hey .......

The Jam - Sound Affects Pet Shop Boys - Bilingual Oasis - Masterplan

Karlheinz Stockhausen - "Hymnen" Spiritualized - "Pure Phase" Neu - "Neu 75"

Close call - Kylie Minogue's "Fever" nearly made it in there.

Right now my top 3 are : David Bowie....Best of Bowie Cure.....Disintegration Oingo Boingo.....Best of Boingo

but it changes almost daily.

hmmm. probably:

The Jesus & Mary Chain - Psychocandy The Cure - Disintegration Slowdive - Souvlaki

(with Skinny Puppy's Too Dark Park thrown in for good measure)

The Cure - Pornography The Cure - Faith The Cure - Disintegration

runners up: Depeche Mode- Violator Depeche Mode- Some Great Reward Radiohead- OK Computer The Clash- Story of the Clash Vol. 1 The Pixies- Death to the Pixies The Pixies- Doolittle The Pixies- Surfer Rosa The Pixies- Bossanova The Faint- Danse Macabre Oingo Boingo- Skeletons in the Closet Oingo Boingo- Best of Boingo Bauhaus- Crackle Dead Can Dance- (self-titled) Dead Can Dance - Within the Realm of a Dying Sun Siouxsie and the Banshees - Twice Upon a Time Rancid- And Out Come the Wolves Danny Elfman - Edward Scissorhands score Angelo Badalamenti- Mulholland Drive score Julee Cruise- Floating into the Night

Orbital - The Brown Album Pixies - Doolittle The Fall - This Nation's Saving Grace

Interesting that so many folk like Pixies and New Order :)

Velvet Underground-White Light,White Heat Lou Reed-Berlin Stone Roses- Stone Roses

1. The Triffids Born Sandy Devotional

2. The Mekons Fear And Whisky

3. Velvets VU & Nico

......for this month anyway......

Hmm.. this is hard.. I guess it's

1. Siamese Dream - Smashing Pumpkins
2. Disintegration - the Cure
3. Gish/Pumpkin Seeds - Smashing Pumpkins. The Smashing pumpkins albums can reverse, depending on my mood. Right now, I'm in the mood for better lyrics, rather than guitar solos.

honorable mentions: 4. Please - Pet Shop Boys 5. Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me - the Cure

Ever changing, but as I feel today: Manic Street Preachers - The Holy Bible The bile and self-loathing on this is sometimes hard to listen to, but the power of the songs remains undiminished. Primal Scream - Evil heat Beatiful noise. REM - Automatic for the people I hadn't listened to it for a good year or two, then got it out again over the weekend - what an album.

a lot of people seem to dig The Cure's Disintegration...yay!

Within The Realm Of A Dying Sun is fabulous...Xavier is one of my favorite Dead Can Dance songs.

and the Edward Scissorhands score is absolutely stunning!

That's because it's obviously one of the greatest albums of all time. (And...while I'm on the subject, The Cure could beat up New Order any day of the week. )

My top three are:

1. The Holy Bible, by the Manics
2. Turn on the Bright Lights, by Interpol
3. the first QOTSA album

Good point. I should have had Heaven or Las Vegas in my top three. But which one would I leave out??

Good call with the J&M Chain. Gone but not forgotten.
