I would like my list to be edited. My choice of 'What's Going On' by Marvin Gaye at #7 was obviously an attempt to incorporate a universal classic into my top ten albums. However, upon recent review of said album, I have decided it is actually a little dull. Therefore, if you deem myself worthy of such special attention, I would rejoice if you could substitute it for Fugees' 'The Score', which is an album I still frequently listen to.
Thank you.

I noticed Mr. Bungle popping up in both your and VD's list, so I did a bit of research on the ol' man, and decided he may be to my liking...So, after a little bit of mouse-clicking, I have managed to purchase it from iTunes.
I shall voice my opinion in due course...

It's a band, not a man, haha. Unless you mean Mike Patton...
When I first heard Mr. Bungle I more or less tore up the mental book on what I thought what music could be, threw it away and decided "Not very useful to me now."
Not a band for everyone, or most people, for sure.
1: Black Sabbath - Vol 4 (one of the best albums ever)
2: Alice In Chains -Dirt (legendary)
3: Type O Negative - October Rust
4: Paradise Lost - One Second
5: Death - Sound Of Perseverance
6: Dissmember -Massive Killing Capacity
7: Faith No More - Angel Dust
8: Ultraviolence - Killing God
9: Jedi Mind Tricks - Legacy of Blood (OMG)
10: obituary - Frozen In Time
Actually, I thought Mr. Bungle was a one-man band type of deal with studio musicians. I still haven't had the chance to give it my full attention yet, though...
Kid A is a great album, but The Bends is much closer to my heart. When I was 15/16 years old, my friends and I would meet up at my house, put on long over-coats (don't know why...), put gel in our hair, put someone on camcorder-duty and then belt out tunes like 'The Bends' - "Where do we go from here? The words are coming out all weird, where are you now-ow?..." - and 'Just'. We did the same with Blur's 'Parklife', which is still great, but I don't listen to it any more...
Good times. Strange times. Times.
