Much musical discussion in the RCT tonight...what are yours? Favourites, not necessarily the best of all time.

3. Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
4. The Smiths - The Queen Is Dead

8. Joy Division - Substance (yes it's a compilation but it's not my fault Ian Curtis died so soon!)
9. The Doors - The Doors
10. Massive Attack - Mezzanine

Stiff to miss out: Any Blur album, any other Beatles album, various Bowie albums, various Nick Cave albums, Oasis - What's the Story Morning Glory, The Pixies - Doolittle, The Cure - Disintegration, and oh god so many more :(

Death Cab For Cutie - Transatlanticism

Great album.

I really like albums that flow; you can tell they were created in order to go in a particular order, as opposed to a few songs thrown together.

I bought that in Year 11 and spent each day walking to school and back listening to that for a good few months.

Still love it, and have really enjoyed Plans and Narrow Stairs, but I don't know if I can keep following them after they recorded a song for that Twilight movie.

Yeah Horizons was good but it fell short of Killing With A Smile. Their new album Deep Blue is due out in a couple of weeks (25th). They've hooked up with a different producer for Deep Blue and after hearing a track from it you can already hear a difference. Don't really rate the song itself though.

Yeah it's a ****ing brilliant album. It's almost timeless, definitely an album I'll still be listening to many years down the track. So soothing and relaxing.
