Curious Cat Question

So I have a DSL connection at home.

And a friend of mine, Rhoch, just installed BitTorrent in my computer.

Given that one can download whole albums rather than songs from Torrent, this cat is wondering: what one band would you recommend?

I need more information about your tastes in music in order to do so, because I can cite several essential albums. You may or may not think in terms of genre: danceable, heavy, guitar-based, electronic, songwriting, experimentation, etc.

Good points, but I'll just shoot sme reccos anyway:

Nevermore
Acid Bath
Brooklyn Funk Essentials
Freak Kitchen


bitta variety there for you...

Here's a random hodgepodge of ten to start you off, banzai.

Architecture In Helsinki
- - - kidpop for adults
Can - - -for classic weird
Dredg - - -Sorta like Incubus, if they were any good
Ibrahim Ferrer - - - balm
Ladytron - - -synthpop played by shiny beauties, Miya Arroyo is yummy
Pixies - - -for classic rock
Supercar - - - J-pop gone electro, a happy pill and a half
Sonic Youth - - - for classic rock, Pt.II. Murray St. and A Thousand Leaves are indispensable
Television - - -particularly Marquee Moon. Guitarporn.
Tom Waits - - -our generation's Dylan, except wilder and weirder

Hope some of these float your boat.
