After an hour or so of looking through a few directories and listening and trying to come up with a list.. I have 2. That's right 2.
NIN--The Fragile
Queen--A Night At The Opera

I've never gotten into NIN very much, but I'll take your word on that because Night at the Opera is one of my all-time favorite albums.

television: marquee moon
pere ubu: dub housing
xtc: drums and wires
i am not sure that indian classical recordings would count in this sweepstakes, but there are three that i am beyond taken with:
pandit ram narayan: in concert at the salle gaveau, paris
pandit v.g. jog: classical violin
pandit pran nath: morning raga
the last one is simply beyond belief. i dont know what else to say about it: pran nath had such command of his voice that in some ways he seems not to quite be of this dimension at all. i imagine that hearing recordings is not the wholesale brain rearrangement experience that seeing him would have been, but he died a while ago and i never got the chance.
so there's this record.
damn.

of course, Indian classical recordings count. If it sends you, it counts.
I'm not familiar with a lot of names, Ravi Shankar and Zakir Hussain...I should know more, its quite embarrassing. But I do love to listen to both Hindi and Arabic traditional music.
I am quite enamored with Tom Waits'
Alice, as well.
