totally off the top of my head, not in order:

underworld - stiti

beastie boys - pauls botique
dj shadow - endtroducing

beck - odelay
blackalicious - blazing arrow
guns n roses - use your illusion 1/2
aphex twin - i care because you do
nine inch nails - the downward spiral

hrmm...viva le 90's, eh?

[pafufta816]

nine inch nails - the downward spiral
underworld - second toughest
soft cell - this last night in sodomy
the velvet underground - white light/white heat
john zorn - the big gundown
meshuggah - catch 33
king crimson - discipline
whitehouse - cruise
foetus - deaf
dj spooky - riddim warfare


i adore all of these albums for one reason or another. i like most of them because of their production, like soft cell or nine inch nails, those albums were a full decade ahead of the rest of music at the time in how they were done.

Been meaning to chime in on this

Robert Miles Organik
Led Zeppelin Physical Graffiti
Queen Jazz
Biosphere Microgravity
Swayzak Himawari
SpookyGuargantuan
Underworld Dubnobasswithmyheadman
Underworld A Hundred Days Off
Underworld Second Toughest In The Infants
The Cure Disintegration

I don't understand why there isn't more talk about Organik. This is not cheese laden like his previous output, but, in my humble opinion one of the most complexe, perfectly executed albums ever recorded. Looking forward with immense anticipation to his new album at the end of the year. According to his web site, Robert Fripp is providing guitar.
