I've never gotten The Doors, some good tunes sure, but I struggle to sit through an album.

Aphex Twin

R.E.M.

Beatles

Radiohead I guess*

Tied between like a dozen artists**

John Williams

*Hard to pick but I could easily put Burial, Menomena, Chemical Brothers, Massive Attack, Boris, The Doors, Boards of Canada, Butthole Surfers, Fly Lo, Bjork and a ton of other artists who I love but Radiohead just manages to top all of them.

**Many of my favorite albums are by artists who had mediocre later careers or who morphed into something I could never get into even if I was a huge fan: Weezer, U2, Smashing Pumpkins are a few examples.

1. Burial

2. Boards of Canada

3. Biosphere

4. (old) Photek

5. Amon Tobin

1. Autechre

2. Rob Brown

3. Gescom

4. Sean Booth

5. Lego Feet

I'm glad, man. You might learn to appreciate Goo the more you delve into their discography.

The flying lesbians

a quintet

Hard to choose 'favorites'. Ranking by the amount of albums owned seems more objective:

1 - Autechre

2 - Miles Davis

3 - Aphex Twin

4 - Squarepusher

5 - Steve Reich

01. cocteau twins

02. squarepusher

03. underworld

04. stereolab

05. ozric tentacles

I guess I could say in no particular order Autechre, The Orb, Biosphere, Aphex Twin, Boards of Canada. Those have been my favorites the longest. Other stuff comes and goes but I've been coming back to those five again and again. I'd maybe add FSOL also.
