Best Albums

Great thread. So many albums I'd like to hear. I'm intrigued by Skully's choice of (and constant raving about) Grace Jones. Must listen to her.

You can't go wrong with Grace Jones. Compass Point Sessions is a good place to start as it's got the dubs too.

the play counts indicate my recent switch to itunes :)

I didn't put a lot of time in to this list, but I reckon I'd starve to death on a desert island before I got tired of any of these albums.

2. Cake - Fashion Nugget (There goes my spare pair of pants)
