I only have Mingus Ah Um. I know, I should get more, but finite resources.

I really like it. They are famous for Mexican Radio, but the rest of the songs on the album are good too, although generally very dark and depressing, dealing with themes of working class industrial squalor.

Television is correct. The other two are Talking Heads and Pere Ubu. I have other albums by them, but I listed these as being more definitive.

Despite being the one who made this list, there are actually three albums on it I haven't heard. Care to guess which?

Interesting to see people's preferences. MP is not a goth/industrial fan. BWT likes This Year's Model, which is one of my all time favs.

I don't dislike the Eurythmics album as much as you guys did, though it was far from my favorite on the list. It had some cool Krautrock influences.
