Spiderland will certainly get points from me. An absolute classic and hugely influential.
I keep meaning to watch the Breadcrumb Trail documentary which is on Amazon Prime currently as well.
Is it? Must have a nose. I have Alfa Mist on at the moment, new album. If you haven't heard of him it might be one for you. It's a stunner if you like your jazz and dub step

Not likely to win too many votes, but I think my enduring favorite has to be:
The Tragically Hip - Road Apples
The band's follow up to their mind-blowingly mature debut 'Up to Here' (1989) proved they were no fluke. For the uninitiated, check out the opening track 'Little Bones' and 'Three Pistols' for straight-ahead, live show, wind up tunes. Some beautiful, more introspective and lyrical numbers like 'Fiddler's Green' and 'Long Time Running' are now rightfully enduring classics.
Seen them live more times than I can count, and they delivered a memorable show every, single, time.

Hoped you might.
It's a tight call, as they're both 10/10 albums in my book but I may even slightly prefer Laughing Stock to Spirit Of Eden. As I say, tight call though..........
It's been YEARS since I listened to Talk Talk, played Natural History (their Best Of) to death back in the late 80s but by then I was getting into house/electronic so anything they did after completely passed me by.

Mine too. Spirit of Eden is probably my favourite album altogether.

Plans for this weekend.
Listen to Talk Talk's "Laughing Stock".
It's been YEARS since I listened to Talk Talk, played Natural History (their Best Of) to death back in the late 80s but by then I was getting into house/electronic so anything they did after completely passed me by.
I have all five Talk Talk's studio albums plus Mark Hollis's solo work
