That is an E, and that is a C LOL

It's not so much about who you own the most albums by rather than picking Bands in the category that you enjoy, have more than 1 album in their catalog, and then picking the LP from the band that connects with you.

^ I'm a big fan of David Bowie's Golden years from 1969 through to 1983 - as you can tell - but beyond that, Bowie went out of Fashion for me. Confused

Bend the Future
Bland Bladen
Brain Connect
Bulbs
Burnt Belief

Of these, Burnt Belief is my favorite, especially the album "Emergent". The bass work absolutely rattles the primitive parts of my brain -- in the best way possible.

Kate Bush is the number 1 B-artist in my collection, and The Dreaming is a top 5 of all time album.

Almost up there with Kate is another crazy heroine of voice and other things, namely Björk. She's at her very best in my view on the Vespertine Live at Royal Opera House DVD, but I play something here from her latest album Fossora, which is such a monster and so rarely talked about (all videos with the album cover in this thread). This album will surprise you in pretty much every single minute, even though you have to decide for yourself if it always does this in a good way.

With my small/exclusive collection, one band

Black Sabbath - Paranoid, both my and inter-subjectively seen BS favourite, and surely a Heavy Rock masterpiece
