Top Ten Electronic/alternative Albums

Based not only on musical tastes but in the quality they were recorded in. I listen to some jazz and blues, and alot of classic rock but I feel this genre of music, both Alternative and Electronic music is often overlooked.

St.Germain's "Tourist" is also quite good. Two others I love are Caia (the Magic Dragon) and Kruder Dorfmeister (The K&D Sessions). For alt rock, check out Dada: Live Official Bootleg (though perhaps it ain't alternative per se) Opeth: Damnation (heavy metal alt band goes unplugged) Soda Stereo: Sueno Stereo (Latin alt!) Smashing Pumpkins: Siamese Dream (a classic) Moke: Carnival Incubus: Morning View
