Yellow Magic, your link to cro-magnon just takes me back to the pharcyde link you have above it.

Let's see what I come up with here. I'll pick albums by each artist that I like, but all of the stuff deserves a listen. There's also some good bands that have already been mentioned, so I'll try not to repeat.

1) Geinoh Yamashirogumi - Akira Soundtrack The movie was the first time I was introduced to this group.

2)Schooly D - Schooly D I was born in the 80's, so there you go.

3) Dire Straits - Brothers In Arms

4) Oasis-Standing On the Shoulders of Giants

5) Chemical Brothers - Come With Us

6) Potshot - Rock 'n' Roll

7) Pink Martini - Sympathique

8) Trial - Are These Our Lives?

9) Boston - Boston I don't expect this link to live very long.

10) Ne Obliviscaris - Portal of I

That feels so limiting. I'll probably make another list later.
