Albums you always go back to

A Disgrace

Apart from the OP's selection (apologies), I'd recommend practically very album mentioned in this thread.. so many good records..

And more of mine, now that I've had some time to think

Trans Europe Express - Kraftwerk
Understand - Brian
This is Hardcore - Pulp
Harmacy - Sebadoh
Trompe Le Monde - The Pixies
Polichinelle - The Prayerboat
Small Moments - David Kitt

Lot of grrrrrrrrreat records mentioned so far. Really the only ones not mentioned (I think) that I find myself retreating to again and again are Letting off the Happiness by Bright Eyes and Heartbreaker by Ryan Adams.

really ought to put a limit on lists in threads like this, otherwise it just turns into "a list of every album I like"

anyway - self-imposed limit of 3

Orbital - "Brown Album"
Talking Heads - "More Songs about buildings and food"
The Avalanches - "Since I left you"
