Best Album From My Favourite Non-Prog

Out of curiousity, which of some of my favourite non-prog albums do you prefer?

I assume you will have heard at least one of these - and if so, vote for it.

Also note: There is NO classic rock, and for good reason. If I put Abbey Road, Paranoid or IV in, they would dominate.

Choosing between Mezzanine, Goldfrapp and Portishead. Ah, what the hell, go for the "Dummy" There's that piece with ringing bell loop repeated that gets me everytime.

I've always liked Incubus.

out of those albums I'd probably say I like these 2 the most:
Electric Wizard - dopethrone
My Bloody Valentine - loveless

I like these okay too:
Boris - rainbow (I like Boris a lot but thats not my favorite of theirs)
Soundgarden - superunknown
Portishead - dummy

actually I haven't checked much into Bohren & Der Club of Gore yet, they seem like something I'd like but so many bands to check out some tend to slip through the cracks,

Yea that album specifically is really fun, they went downhill after Morning View though IMO.

As you can probably tell I reckon they are all pretty damn good, check them out.

I could have easily chosen Feedbacker or Amplifier Worship for Boris, but Rainbow is my favourite lately.

Bohren is awesome, I've only got that album, bbut if you like extremely slow "doom" jazz you'll love it. Great atmosphere and melodies.

Grace gets me pretty , only heard it last year though - so it's still sorta fresh.

Yea, not getting much response unfortunately.

Being more of a metal person it was a difficult choice between Dopethrone and Welcome to Sky Valley (actually Kyuss self titled... but anyway) for completely different reasons.

The choice was not easy, but Jeff Buckley-Grace wins by a hair for me.

I'll take Bohren & Der Club of Gore for the win!
