Oh goody, plenty of great albums here. Quite a few of them are particularly significant to me as well. Particularly In the Aeroplane Over the Sea, which was one of my first "favourite" albums. I used to listen to it a few times every day back in my Uni days. I grew tired of it after a while but I recently came to appreciate it, and started to consider it one of my favourites again. BUT... those two albums ahead of it are simply better to me. The first five or six tracks on Mezzanine are perfection. Flawless in every way. And that John Zorn album just does something for me. Brilliant stuff. The rest are all good, and it's a great year for me.
