Prince - I'm torn between the album I first heard for nostalgic reasons--Purple Rain—-and the one I think is his best, Parade. I might have to go with Parade.

Siouxsie And The Banshees - Same dilemma as above Peepshow or Tinderbox? I think this time Ima have to go with Peepshow cuz it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside like when I first discovered Sioux and played this album to death.

The others are easy:

Tori Amos - Little Earthquakes
Janet Jackson - The Velvet Rope
Jesse Johnson - Shockadelica
Lush - Gala
Deadsy - Commencement (the original promo release)
Mors Syphilitica - Feather And Fate
Aterciopelados - Gozo Poderoso

Book Of Love - Book Of Love
Rosetta Stone - Adrenaline

WHAT, NO P-FUNK????!!!!
