For some reason I can't edit my comments at the moment, so here's my updated list, having slept on it and decided to remove the EPs (which I'll save for the inevitable EP lists) and make one substitution: 

 

Burial- Untrue

Godspeed You! Black Emperor- Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven

Nick Drake- Pink Moon

Aphex Twin- Selected Ambient Works 85-92

Ruff Sqwad- White Label Classics

Los Campesinos!- We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed

Madvillain- Madvillainy

DJ Kicks: Kemistry & Storm

Richard & Linda Thompson- I Want to See the Bright Lights Tonight

Neutral Milk Hotel- In the Aeroplane Over the Sea

 

And before Lawn comes at me, We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed is sometimes referred to by the band as a mini album. ALBUM. Besides, it's longer than Pink Moon, which is definitely an album.

And even though I've gone for Untrue over Rival Dealer, as Rival Dealer is an EP and therefore doesn't qualify, Rival Dealer remains probably my favourite EP and/or album ever.

After much deliberation on this, and after @Winslow Leach's latest post reminded me that In The Aeroplane exists, I'd swap out Ágætis Byrjun for that. Also will chuck Can - Ege Bamyasi on the "just missed out" pile. 

Man this is a good thread. A hard thread.

It's an album, I think they called it an EEP for contractual reasons or something.

It was released only a few months after their amazing debut, which always boggles my mind, pretty insane creative streak. A lot of the HONY tunes had been around for a while, but WABWAD was put together really quickly, and still turned out excellent.

I played this to death when it came out in 77, so much so that I couldn't really bare to listen to it for about 30 years! Love it again now though.

Good to see another vote for Dusty
