PJ Harvey's Dry, Dirty by Sonic Youth, The Jesus Lizard's Liar, Henry's Dream by Nick Cave, and March 16-20 by Uncle Tupelo are further down the list, but also worth discussing, I think. Plenty more than this to mine from this year, also.

Faith No More's Angel Dust...really?  Ive listened to the entire discography and IMO, they weren't a very good band outside of a few songs

Pat Metheny - Secret Story is the best.
