Not sure why I didn't list Infected?

An all time fave of mine but more importantly no filler!!!

The list will be different tomorrow though

My top 5 albums with nothing rated below an A- (I have some with higher averages, but they each have one B+ on them.) Most people will not have heard most of these artists except the first.

Jagged Little Pill Acoustic - Alanis Morissette
100 Watt Smile - 100 Watt Smile
100 Watt Smile - And Reason Flew
theStart - Death Via Satellite (an EP)
Belly - Star

In case you don't take the EP
Vomit Launch - Exiled Sandwich
 
Otis Redding: 'Dock of the bay' A compilation album but still, not a foot wrong.
10cc: 'Sheet Music'.
Paul Simon: 'Gracelands'.
The Beatles: 'Rubber Soul'.
Van Morrison: 'Astral Weeks'.

and if Otis is outside the rules, Planxty: 'The well below the valley'.

And another 30 or so I think. Another day.
 
Rolling Stones - first album
Rolling Stones - Sticky fingers
Rolling Stones - Exile on Main Street
Mean Red Spiders - nude guitarist in wet lettuce frenzy
George Thorogood and the Destroyers - move it in over
 
Roy Harper Stormcock
Nick Drake Five Leaves Left
Rolling Stones Let it Bleed
Leonard Cohen Songs Of
Chris Rea Shamrock Diaries
 
5 Leaves Left - Nick Drake
77 - Talking Heads
Soul Mining - The The
Station to Station - David B
Unknown Pleasures - Joy Division
 
Talking Heads - 77
Talking Heads - More Songs About Buildings And Food
Talking Heads - Fear Of Music
Talking Heads - Remain In Light
Talking Heads - Name Of This Band (original 2 LP - expanded CD set is too long!) Cheating a little in being a live compilation, I know!
You may well have hit the jackpot with your selection, I am slightly biased as I have all of them from date of release. Songs From The Catherine Wheel would make an excellent reserve choice.
