Is Nick Cave well known up there? I very rarely meet anyone who knows who he is. Hey I even love Birthday Party, but only "old" punks remember him from that.

again, there's too many to mention, but I'll name a few in no order with no duplication:

Frank Zappa - Joe's Garage
Black Sabbath - Master of Reality
Alice Cooper - Welcome to my Nightmare
Rush - A Farewell to Kings
Iron Maiden - Live After Death
Stan Rogers - Home in Halifax
Motorhead - 1916
Enya - Watermark
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
The Mentors - Up the Dose

[DownInFlames]

^ Nick Cave definitely deserves more respect here.

My tastes are all over the place and change day-to-day, but here's what comes to mind right now.

Neutral Milk Hotel - In The Aeroplane Over The Sea
The Clash - The Clash
Fugazi - Steady Diet Of Nothing
New Order - Power, Corruption & Lies

For me it came down to the production. The songs are neck and neck for me but SL is one of the most perfect sounding rnr records ever.
