That's my list. It is clearly different, and far harder on the ears, but not bad, I think.

Hmmm. . .

Strange Times * Chameleons UK
Disintegration * The Cure
The Crane Wife * The Decemberists
Our Time in Eden * 10,000 Maniacs
The Unforgettable Fire * U2
Gold Mother * James
[This is excruciatingly hard!]
The Smiths * The Smiths
Synchronicity * The Police
Brotherhood * New Order
Hail to the Thief * Radiohead

Now that I read it, this isn't my top ten list at all. But it's the best I can do at the moment.

Who's Mrs. Scanlon?

crane wife...fave of all time? it was paste's best of 2006, but all-time fave's might need a seven- to ten-year marinating period.

(i don't even really know the freaking album, so i shouldn't really comment...)
