in no particular order, and with no consideration for 'importance' outside my life:
my ten favourite albums.

pixies - surfer rosa
portishead - dummy
pj harvey - is this desire?
radiohead - the bends
van (the man) morrison - moondance
elvis costello - this year's model
bob dylan - highway 61 revisited
dr. dre - chronic 2001
joni mitchell - court and spark
wagon christ - musipal

that's it.
