1983
When I compiled this in May of this year, I was having a hard time with my #10 album - not because there are too many choices, but because the rest beyond 9 were weak-ish. There were some in my queue I hadn't heard yet, so I checked out some of the top ones like New Order. But in the end, I revisited some of the things I barely knew, and I Chamelions won out. I hadn't listened to it in some time so I wasn't sure, but a revisit made it clear that it's better than other options on the table. It is a bit overlong if I had one complaint, but it's quality. New Order could have slipped in too, if only I had more time to listen.
