Well, anyone who reads my posts knows that Einstürzende Neubauten's Silence is Sexy is fairly frequent in my rotation. Great bass, and nice contrasts in dynamics. Clever lyrics: It's not as golden as Zeus' famous shower. etc.

Might be a little early, but the Franz Ferdinand album hits me in the almost instant classic spot. I sure do listen to it a lot, even when it's not playing (I.E. it gets stuck in my head, and that's not a bad thing...yet).

And one that might surprise people, not because I like it, but because I listen to it so frequently, is The Faint, Danse Macabre. It was a while ago, but I was in the record store after I hadn't played it in a while, and it hit me just how much better it is than pretty much everything else they've ever played in the store.

So I'll stop at three, also, but there's plenty more where that came from.
