Deftones - Around The Fur: My favourite Deftones album, diverse and febrile.
System of A Down - S/T: Just like nothing else from what I can remember the first time I heard it.
NIN - Downward Spiral: Dark, so many different textures and sounds.
Faith No More - Angel Dust: Again, varied and diverse - their best album.
Tool - Aenima: Took me years to like, but now I love this - masterpiece I reckon.
Pantera - Vulgar Display Of Power: Heavy and sounds as fresh today as it did then.
Alice In Chains - Dirt: Great tunes, Layne Stayley's delivery is excellent and unnerving, Cantrell excellent on guitar.
My Bloody Valentine - Loveless: Trippy, humming guitars, I don't know why I like it so much but I do...
RATM - S/T: need I say more about this album?
NIN - The Fragile: The most experimental of Trent's albums, opus magnus? Took me quite a while to get totally into it.
Metallica - Black Album: again, goes without saying, not as good as Master... or Justice... IMO but great for tunes.
FNM - King For A Day...: Fucking wacky, love every song.
Deftones - Adrenaline: Raw, a taste of what was to come...
Tool - Undertow: Great album.
Sepultura - Roots: Love the tribal element, heavy.

it has such a relaxed, meandering, feel good sound.

it's not my favorite Radiohead, but in my book it kicks The Bends all over the place.
