Love also Keiko Matsui. I'm assuming music from Japan is not a problem. Here some of my favorite albums from the land of the rising sun.

X Japan - Blue Blood

Luna Sea - Mother

Nujabes - Impression

If I could force everyone in the world to listen to one album, it would be In Absentia by Porcupine Tree. If I could force them to listen to another, it would be De-Loused in the Comatorium by the Mars Volta.

They can live without the rest.

Geez. I have to figure out how to post album covers! That looks so cool. Agnostic, you hit it with Piazzolla, Neil Young and the Afro Cuban All-Stars. Unkle11, good to see somebody big-up Roxy Music's Avalon; fantastic record. If the list I posted earlier wasn't already so long, I'd definitely add that.
