By an Amazon.com customer
MlahMlah by Les Négresses Vertes
Buy used from: $6.41
The French Pogues? Hyperactive, and brilliant, they apparently disgraced themselves at the Winnipeg Folk Festival, but all is forgiven after listening to this, their best album.
DisintegrationDisintegration by The Cure
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $3.19
Atmosphere...it's rarely done so well.
Oranges & LemonsOranges & Lemons by XTC
Buy new: $15.98 / Used from: $2.97
Another fun, smart, sonically delicious offering.
Passion: Music For The Last Temptation Of ChristPassion: Music For The Last Temptation Of Christ by Peter Gabriel
Buy used from: $2.14
Most of my friends heard this upon visiting. Gabriel's most uplifting recording, and the soundtrack to the controversial film, The Last Temptation of Christ.
Back on the BlockBack on the Block by Quincy Jones
Buy used from: $0.47
So many strong tracks by a who's who of the R'n'B scene at the time.
Roxy Music - Street Life: 20 Greatest HitsRoxy Music - Street Life: 20 Greatest Hits by Roxy Music
Buy used from: $0.69
Probably the recording I have played more than anything else. I must listen to this weekly.
Louder Than LoveLouder Than Love by Soundgarden
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $3.39
Sludgy, raw, Zeppelinesque rock before they became more polished.
Steady OnSteady On by Shawn Colvin
Buy used from: $0.70
Some stunning songs. This album won the popular folk vocalist a Grammmy.
Seven SoulsSeven Souls by Material
Buy used from: $6.95
Bill Laswell and William S. Burroughs - a unique concept.
The Majesty of the BluesThe Majesty of the Blues by Wynton Marsalis
Buy used from: $1.36
Some of the catchiest jazz you can imagine.
The Real ThingThe Real Thing by Faith No More
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $1.21
I always thought the first track, From Out of Nowhere, was way better than Epic. Overall, a strong metal-rap-thrash album with the vocal gymnastics of Matt Patton.
Akoustic BandAkoustic Band by Chick Corea's Akoustic Band
Buy new: $14.98 / Used from: $1.99
I prefer Corea's accoustic work the best...superb piano playing, top nothc players.
The Stone RosesThe Stone Roses by The Stone Roses

Relive the 60s. Some of the most memorable songs that I've heard.
J MoodJ Mood by Wynton Marsalis

Solid jazz. You can't go wrong here.
Mixed UpMixed Up by The Cure

The Cure album that I have listened to the most. Heavenly.
Heaven Or Las VegasHeaven Or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins
Buy new: $11.98 / Used from: $6.69
A commercial breakthrough, accessible but still not for the masses.
PassagesPassages by Ravi Shankar and Phillip Glass
Buy new: $7.98 / Used from: $2.98
Not as avant garde as you might expect, but oh, so fantastic compositions with Indian vocals. Desert Island disc for sure.
Headless CrossHeadless Cross by Black Sabbath
Buy used from: $43.94
The songs are excellent. Sabbath lives!
Things Here Are DifferentThings Here Are Different by Jill Sobule
Buy used from: $2.16
She disappeared for a while then repacked herself as a pop singer...listen to this for a quiet, late night album, with amazing songs...sounds nothing like the "I Kissed A Girl" material.
Fear of a Black PlanetFear of a Black Planet by Public Enemy
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $1.93
Unequalled powerful album. Kills.
Music From Mo' Better Blues (1990 Film)Music From Mo' Better Blues (1990 Film)

Maybe their best album, mature sounding.

The peak of Depeche Mode.
Question and AnswerQuestion and Answer by Pat Metheny with Dave Holland and Roy Haynes
Buy used from: $1.84
This started out as a jam session with the tapes rolling but ended up as an unbelievable album. Three virtuosos cutting loose has never sounded so good.
Crazy People MusicCrazy People Music by Branford Marsalis Quartet
Buy used from: $0.76
Branford is a star in his own right and plays with unreal players.
