Not necessarily my favourite album, but a recent new find - saw them live at Hoxton Hall earlier in the year. Both of them play guitar, originally more folk-rock style, but this latest album after a lengthy hiatus is more produced and more rock influenced.

My shout

The Cure - Staring at the sea
Sister of Mercy - Floodland
The The - Soul Mining

We run a tune of the day at work, each employee selects a track for the day. Interesting to see the spread, but also that the classics are appreciated across the age range.

Being a typical Manc,

The Stone Roses - the Stone Roses.
Bummed by the Happy Mondays. This was the breakthrough album, Martin Hannett gave the album a live feel.
What else?
Anything by the Fall, I am Kurious Oranj or Frenz Experiment. Dedicated to the Wanderer.
Stuff from outside the capital of music.
Primal Scream - Screamadelica, Vanishing Point and the 'Memphis tapes'version of Give out but don't give up'
Jesus and Mary Chain Automatic

Yes, early Daft Punk is groundbreaking. The later stuff is cool, but too mainstream. It’s an “i liked them before they were cool” thing!!
I find their later stuff sounds a bit too much like a ringtone...
