@Unknown_Pleasures: My favorite David Bowie album changes (hah) regularly, but Ziggy Stardust is consistently awesome. Low is probably my least favorite of the Berlin Trio though. Not that it isn't great.

What is it about Bon Iver that people find so enthralling? I liked his record, but I wasn't in love with it.

Well the top 3 for me are:
1. Megadeth - Rust in Peace
2. The Lord Weird Slough Feg - Traveller
3. Boston's self-titled.
 
The rest are in no particular order.  This is a very rough list, there's probably a few I'm just not thinking of that I could put on here.  I also went with trying to list just one album per band/artist.
 
Judas Priest - Painkiller
Phish - A Picture of Nectar
Alice in Chains - Dirt
Queens of the Stone Age - Songs for the Deaf
Queensryche - Operation: Mindcrime
Dream Theater - Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory (really most of their things from the 90's could fit on here, but I'm a sucker for a good concept album)
Andrew W.K. - I Get Wet

Low I would say is objectively the best, although Station to Station is my favorite.
