Almost too difficult, but here I go:

1. Yes (Peeled Apples deserves an honourable mention)
2. Motorcycle Emptiness (Kevin Carter honourable mention)
3. Of Walking Abortion (1985, To Repel Ghosts, Glasnost, Europa Geht Durch Mich honourable mentions)
4. Faster
5. Automatik Teknicolour
6. Archives Of Pain
7. This Is Yesterday
8. Anything from KYE
9. Small Black Flowers
10. Just A Kid (Valley Boy and Ballad Of The Bangkok Novotel honourable mentions)
11. Indian Summer
12. Condemned To Rock N Roll

Been listening to the US Mix of THB a lot lately, so that's probably over-represented.

Ask me again in a week and it'll be a completely different list.

Great idea, though - we should probably do a 'worst of' list with the same options.

Great albums so far.

Notable how rock-tastic most of the selections seem to be!

I defaulted to the odd 2nd choice to make it flow (sortof) as a record. But there's some great selections here. When you've only got a narrow window to fit in then it makes the game more interesting!

I love the whole Lifeblood album, and the crescendo is beautiful 'embrace with us, make your own glasnost'.

Glasnost is one of the simplest, most beautiful and most minimalistic (love) songs they've ever done.
