3 pages and no-ones mentioned either Talk Talk or Elliott Smith? What's wrong with people today...

Talk Talk - Spirit of Eden & Laughing Stock
Elliott Smith - Pretty much all of it, but my personal compilation from the first three albums takes some beating...

Not my favorite. heard every damned song on it too much. Billy Jean is all I can stand anymore. Hard to call something "best" when I can't imagine sitting down and listening to it from beginning to end.

Much prefer "Off The Wall."

What are the best albums of all time?(requested)
