This is not in any order. There are tough choices and just too many to include a wild card list.
Mr. Kotter,
Have you ever heard Still by Joy Division?

Yup. It's awesome.

I began as a New Order fan back in the 80s.....danced my ass off to Substance a gazillion times.

Add Alanis Morrisette's Jagged Little Pill to my list....damn, I forgot how much I liked that album. I'd seriously contemplate adultery with her too, under circumstances I can only dream of......

Well if it was the top 99 songs I'd agree wiyh you,however,since they'll be playing the whole album I'm looking forward to it.

Whoa, I thought I was the only one who liked these albums....

I like Depech Mode very much. They are one of the best bands to survive beyond the Eighties. I have stopped following them after Ultra. New Order is another story. It is such a shame that Ian Curtis died. I think that he took the rawness and edge the band had with him. We will never know. They had started to show up on the radar somewhat right before he killed himself. They may have gone down that road of Iconists and lost most of what made them great sooner or later. We can only guess though.

I've been collecting albums since about 1966 and have about 4,000 before I even started buying CD's. There is just too many to narrow down to 10 but these are some of my most listened to over the years.

Psychedelic Furs - Mirror Moves
U2 - War
