So, here is mine, following dubman’s template.
I actually listened to everything listed here while scoring, but I was not able to fully listen to Barking, I cannot help myself, I just don’t like it.
Since I was at it, I also added my most listend to EP’s plus Teatime Dub Encounters (which I have not heard a whole lot, but do like) and Drift, because I listen to it the most right now.

While I could not listen to barking, I at least can now put my dislike into words: This sounds like Rick and Vince Clark tried to have a love child, but the outcome is a latter day Depeche Mode album (I love everything DM made till Ultra, there it just starts to hurt my ears) and I do still like Erasure a good bit, but not enough. Oh, my.
[Edit:] I also own underneath the radar, and while I think it would easily get a 60 to 70% from me, I do not like to mix MK1 and 2. Its just to different and I do not have a digital copy at hand so I could not even listen. Ha. The 2nd one I have not heard, so, no opinions.
