My favourite albums are like my best friends when they get married - I never really listen to/ see them anymore. But they still make my list.

I think it's an age thing - people's "favourite list" albums are often the ones they liked between the ages of 16 and 20. For me, that would be...

1. Jesus and Mary Chain: Darklands
2. Wedding Present: Bizarro
3. Pogues: Rum Sodomy and the Lash
4. My Bloody Valentine: Isn't Anything
5. Spacemen 3: Playing With Fire

Then there was the Dylan, Waits, Leonard Cohen phase (which never really goes away) and then it was all things lo-fi, followed by a classical stint (Beethoven's 7th - Amazing!) which was a gateway to electronic. For about a year, it was "Aeroplane Over the Sea". A few months ago it was all Joanna Newsom, Camera Obscura, M Ward and Adrian Crowley. But, when it comes to lists, I always go back to that initial five.

SomethingManic (I keep reading your name as Somethingmagic), lists are good, keep it up! But, I think they are stronger if kept to a max of 5 entries. That's hopefully not as condescending as it sounds!
 
Pixies - Doolittle (and all the rest. They're all great)
Elastica - Elastica
Steely Dan - Aja, The Royal scam & Gaucho
The Rolling Stones - Exile on main st. Sticky Fingers & Let it Bleed
Aphex Twin - Richard D James
The Smiths - The queen is dead & Meat is murder
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Fever to tell
John Martyn - Solid Air
Garbage - 1st album
Metallica - Master of Puppets
PJ Harvey - Is this Desire
Nirvana - Nevermind (even though I haven't listened to it in ages)
Miles Davis - Kind of Blue
Grant Lee Buffalo - Fuzzy
David Bowie - Low & Hunky Dory

& loads more I can't think of
