... what would it be?

Mine would be: "LICK IT" by THE DWARVES, as it is the best thing they ever did. And first thing, I think. I don't know why they changed.

They were the best of anything REMOTELY similar with that ONE album. Please, buy this album and let it spiral you into a different dimension.

In case you're wondering, it's like a fizzling-through-time version of garage rock from the 60s, sparking from the humor and dissonance of the last 20 years, wadded up in an authentic ball of radio static picked up through the metal in your fillings.

It feels like your brain is being drugged by a television on the fritz and all your psychological illnesses are coming through an invisible ouija board demon to entertain the heart of you.

THE SPIRIT OF EDEN by Talk Talk ..... if only to prove to the world that they were much, much more than their skinny-tied, synth-pop origins.

Talk talk, eh? That reminds me of the other album I would force everyone to listen to: Bonniwell Music Machine's first. "Talk, Talk" being a great song.

I dunno, it seems to me that whatever these Dwarves sound like, it's just not *it*... Although your question seems to imply "what would be the ONE OBSCURE ALBUM you'd like to force everyone to hear?". In such case, who wouldnt go with RTX-TI? Just to be an arse? Even? Are you sure? Hahaha.

What, didn't you like 'Blood Guts & Pussy'? "Astro Boy", "Motherfucker", "Drugstore"?

Nope, I liked them better when they were doing weird garage that sounds like a timewarped entity. They really went through all the changes: garage, shock rock, pop punk.

The garage stuff has just such a cool sound. Very wickedly psychedelic mystery ride.

Rumours/Fleetwood Mac.

I would force people to listen to Merzbow "Pulse Demon" while they made out with someone. Or with themselves. I would be a Skinnerian Behaviorist study.

and Talk Talk last album's ARE incredible...beautiful, well mixed, drifting....I didn't believe it until my roommate played them for me.

So I believe you.

if i could make folks listen to particular albums i`d chose saint etienne`s "fox base alpha", for people i like and that last lo fi allstars one "how to operate on a blown mind" i think its called, for people i hate. as for "spirit of eden".. i think its a wonderful record, never fails to make me cry. the first half of "its my life" is rather good too, haven`t heard anything more by talk talk.

Gillian Welch's The Revelator (see thread)

Luomo, Vocalcity, because I'm finding myself more obsessed with it now than when it came out a year and change ago--and I was obsessed with it then.
