What artist album has inspired you?

I need some album recommendations... It can be dance, rock, soul, whatever.
Anything other than hip hop. I do hip hop, but need different stuff to listen to. Thanks

Solar Fields - "Leaving Home", "Extended"

Squarepusher - "Ultravisitor"

Fluke - "Puppy"

Ulrich Schnauss - "Far Away Trains Passing By", "A Strangely Isolated Place"

Sigur Rós - "Agætis Byrjun", "( )", "Takk"

Oasis - (What's the Story) Morning Glory

BT - This Binary Universe

No record collection should be without them. I'm especially loving the Solar Fields CDs atm.

I also got Underworld - "Everything, Everything" today. It's sounding fantastic so far!

Queensryche - Opertation Mindcrime. It was great when it came out, and then it sucked for about 10 years, and now it's great again.

Oh, and Mr. Bungle - Mr. Bungle. Something for everybody and nobody.

+1 for Binary universe.

Anything from sixtyonesixtyeight records.

Miles Davis- In a silent way-bitches brew.

Vernon Reid- Mistaken Identity.

Matt Chambers- His solo record and also the last two Critters Buggin records.

the last few John Scofield records especially the most recent one with MMW.

The last couple of MMW records,, well,, all of them really since Shackman,,,

The newest Squarepusher record.

YABBAT,,,

Burial,,,

cLoudead,,

Diplo,,,

And my current Favorite,, Amon Tobin,, Foley Room,, Fuckin amazing use of found sound and texture,, easily the best cut and paste record i've ever heard!!!
Buy it!!!,, put some head phones on,, turn out the lights and loose your self in it,, trains,, lions roaring,, doors closing,, twisted drums,,, the Kronos quartet playing abstract noises,, great production and processing,, i can't recomend this one ighly enough

Start with either "Chocolate and Cheese" or "The Mollusk". Get hooked and obsessivley spend the next 2 years enjoying the rest of their catalogue.

I know I'll be heckled for that one

but it's one of the few albums on which I like all the songs.

Also Cinematic Orchestra.

I'm really digging the new album from K-os.

It's called Atlantis—Hymns for Disco.

Dude is very creative.
