Cool, top 3 is all I'm sure about, then I get lost and have trouble prioritizing.

1. Genesis - Foxtrot
2. Mr. Bungle - Disco Volante
3. The Mars Volta - Amputechture

Not prog:
1. Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral
2. Burzum - Filosofem
3. Rage Against The machine - Battle Of Los Angeles(not so sure about  a #3 really...  it'll probably keep changing...)

1. Fleetwood Mac - Rumours
2. Van der Graaf Generator - Still Life
3. Comus - First Utterance

These are all albums which have at some point left me absolutely speechless with admiration, but i have a hard time picking amongst my favourites. I am pretty sure aout place number one, however.

That would be brilliant if they (Shuttah)were on PAs but as you say,their anonymity could be a problem.

Do 'The Stanley' otherwise I'll thrash you with some rhubarb.
