[quarter23cd]

Wow, here's one I never really bothered to think about before.

 

Transmissions

Soft Bulletin

Clouds

Hit to Death

Yoshimi

At War

Zaireeka (fantastic concept, pain in the butt to listen to)

..the early ones I haven't spent enough time with to have a solid opinion.

 

And, really, any of those aside from Transmissions could swap places on any given day. And Transmissions is #1 probably for sentimental reasons since it was my first.

[Lammycat]

The Day They Shot A Hole in the Jesus Egg contains not just In a Priest Driven Ambulance but a load of B-sides/demos as well.
