I'd actually put "Bringing it on home" before "Blonde on Blonde", mainly due to the fact that Love minus zero is my favourite song outwith JD/NO and She Belongs To Me also kicks ass:D
I'm gonna do a Dylan thread on the Dark Side - you can mention yer personal faves over there
I know the Green Guy is also a big fan
What about the following:
DURAN DURAN: 'Duran Duran' PROPAGANDA: 'A Secret Wish' JOE JACKSON: 'Blaze of Glory' DEPECHE MODE: 'Exciter' SIMPLE MINDS: 'Real Life' DOUBLE: 'Blue' A-HA: 'Hunting High and Low' CUTTING CREW: 'Broadcast' 808 STATE: 'United State' PET SHOP BOYS: 'Behaviour'
Since last time this thread croped up I've become a late convert to The Beach Boys so I'd sub Pet Sounds for something.

A favourite from my childhood 
Anyone see Morten Harket on TOTP2 last night? Has he got a portrait of himself rotting in the attic or what?
'Kin Hell, new rule, no literary references. Are you suggesting he's drinking from the fountain of youth?
Soz, forgot where I was for a minute...
Glad to see Mr Harket looking so sprightly, whatever the means....I don't feel quite so embarrassed about being convinced I was going to marry him and live in Norway and tend to his orchids when I was 9.

Whoa, I feel kinda old now! 
I almost forgot about those guys!
Kind of difficult to answer those questions when you down own many listed, but if I had to say my personal best album of all-time, it would be Achtung Baby from U2.. at least for the 1990s !!
YEP..have to agree with you there, Nic....
ACHTUNG BABY is def up there in my top ten list....
Had followed U2 for some time before that..but by the time Rattle & Hum came out, i thought that Gospel/Graceland/Americas theme got a bit too bloated.... I almost gave up on them.....until...
I heard the first few seconds of Zoo Station....WOW!!!!! The thrill is almost up there with that first moment of listening to Crystal after that long New Order drought...
Here are some of mine:
Autechre - Incunabula Underground Resistance - Interstellar Fugitives Two Lone Swordsmen - Tiny Reminders Plaid - Trainer Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works 85-92 The Orb - Pomme Fritz Joel Mull - Imagination Paperclip People - Secret Tapes of Dr. Eich Plastikman - Consumed V/A - Artificial Intelligence II
Ten isn't enough!!!

1-Simple Minds - New Gold Dream/SFY/SitR 2-The Cure - KissMe/Pornograhy/WMS 3-The Smiths - all their albums 4-theThe - all their albums 5-Depeche Mode - SOFAD/Ultra/Violator/Black 6-808 State - U.S. 90/Don Solaris 7-FSOL - Accelerator 8-Yoko Kanno - Macross Plus OST 9-The Clash - Story of/Sandanista 10-Tears for Fears - Sowing/Songs from/Elemental/The Hurtin 11-Pet Shop Boys - Please/Actually/Alternative 12-XClan - To tha East Blackwards Sissy!
