Like hell anyone's going to listen to all these albums we're all listing. But there are a few I could list. There aren't 10 though.

Please note that, from the following list, I would only consider Breakfast in America, Fragile, and the U.S. release of Power, Corruption and Lies as being utterly flawless.

Magdalena's Top Predominantly English-language Albums (in no particular order):

Breakfast in America - Supertramp
Power, Corruption and Lies (U.S. version) - New Order (Yay for "Blue Monday!" :lol:)
Substance 1987 - New Order
Discovery - Daft Punk
The Sound of the Smiths - The Smiths
Fragile - Yes

I actually bought it on tape, listened to it whole summer on a beaten down little player while travelling with a few friends. eventually the tape got sucked into the player :-/ I then bought the CD which got stolen a few years later. I think I'll buy it on vinyl one of these days.

13's an excellent Blur album.

Going to see them live in August, and sing "Tender" and "Coffee & TV" as loud as I can. :D
