Agaetis Byrjun - Sigur Ros. Unpronounceable songs and lyrics yet totally intoxicating. Well worth a go if you've never tried this.

 

[KPDHoopster]

Here's another ...

Red Hot Chilli Peppers- Californication

Where the **** am I? - Blind Satsuma Farquhar-Smythe
Pretentious? Moi? - Damon Albarn and the Choir of the People's Liberation Army (*****lian language version)
Lawsuit - The Beetles

And one I'm sure you've got, and I've just been listening to Jammy Smears by the godlike genius Ivor Cutler.

 

[KPDHoopster]

Liege and Lief - Fairport Convention
Stranded - Roxy Music
Deserters Songs - Mercury Rev
Hats - The Blue Nile
Laid - James
Rum Sodomy & The Lash - The Pogues

 

[TWGWTDT]

I think the not a duff track bit is important. I would've said Aphex's first album but there is one track I don't really like.
Another album that would be a contender if you could take the best dozen tracks only would be Sandinista by The Clash.

Just listened to Drukqs again and have to say that it is truly wonderful
If there's one album that is nearly perfect it's this
You get taken on a true journey of pain and beauty
Every sound designed to torment then cure you

 

[TWGWTDT]

As a artist then it's Nick Cave for me but I struggle to get one album from him that hasn't got just one duffer
Richard Lawley again the same
Radiohead the same
In Rainbows in very close
Drukqs by Aphex Twin is complete because of the torment mentioned before and the encapsulation of sound and experiment , Challenging the brain and leaving you with joy and dark thoughts but many won't even think it's music. There are snippets in it that you start to hear and then Richard James sends you elsewhere. So many modern artists use it as their bible of sound
Saying that can I put it on every day
No I can't
I return each time to FJ McMahon from Mummy and I honestly think Kurt Vile will stay with me for years
It's so hard to pick one that sticks and nearly every album on here has me spinning

 

[KooPeeArr]

I'll throw Luna by The Aliens in as a perfect bit of 2000's psychedelia.
