[Tony L]

Boo Radleys - Giant Steps
Sugur Ros - Agaetis Byrjun
Pete Namlook & Klaus Schulze - Dark Side Of The Moog Vols 1-8 (I’m craftily having eight albums here!).

PS I’d obviously give a different three tomorrow. Maybe three ECM jazz titles.

 

[Marchbanks]

I’ll limit myself to live albums to make it easier.

King Crimson - B’boom
Keith Jarrett - Live at the Blue Note
Neil Young - Arc/Weld (just Weld TBH.)

oh, and Zappa - Best Band You... no, damn, damn, damn... not that much easier then...

 

[wyjsar]

Boo Radleys - Giant Steps
Sugur Ros - Agaetis Byrjun
Pete Namlook & Klaus Schulze - Dark Side Of The Moog Vols 1-8 (I’m craftily having eight albums here!).

PS I’d obviously give a different three tomorrow. Maybe three ECM jazz titles.

Boo Radleys - what a top, top album Giant Steps is.
I'd choose ( ) by Sigur Ros btw...

 

[robs]

Underworld - dubnobasswithmyheadman
John Martyn - The Church with One Bell
Massive Attack - Mezzanine

...and pretty much all those mentioned above...

....the 90's was actually pretty good wasn't it!!

 

[deek]

Dunno about favourite, but if I limit myself to non-metal bands then I'd say I play the following most often...

Boards Of Canada - Music Has The Right To Children
Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works 85-92
Sonic Youth - Goo

 

[Seeker_UK]

Neil Young - Ragged Glory

Ride - Going Blank Again

Mike Oldfield - Songs of Distant Earth

I'm sure I'll think of something else better than one or two of those...

 

[Seeker_UK]

PS I’d obviously give a different three tomorrow. Maybe three ECM jazz titles.

By the time ECM got to the 90s, the artist roster was sacking off synths and interesting stuff and it all got a bit 'normal' for my liking.

 

[wyjsar]

OK, whilst I like Tony's nominations I'll put in three of my own:
Julian Cope - Peggy Suicide
The Auteurs - Now I'm A Cowboy
The Beloved - Happiness

 

[puddlesplasher]

Lloyd Cold....Don't get weird on me,babe
Dave Matthews Band.....Before these Crowded Streets
Jonny Lang......Lie to Me

 

[Rug Doc]

I’m more of an EDM fan...

LFO - Frequencies
Warp - Artificial Intelligence.
Speedy J - G Spot

 

[rbrown]

Wonderstuff - Eight Legged Groove Machine
Happy Mondays - Pills Thrills and Bellyaches
The Beloved - Happiness

And tons of others. The 90s was a good decade.

 

[mrlamonta]

A bit poppy but I'm very fond of these albums from my teen years and can still listen to today. As others have said, if you ask me tomorrow I might give three different albums.
