Winner: Pendulum - Hold Your Colour (this album is easily one of the best electronic/drum&bass albums of all time)

Blackwater Park was the Opeth album that hooked me. I heard "Harvest" on a compilation CD, and instantly loved it. Then I delved a little deeper, and found the harder stuff. Loved it too. If my experience is in any way representative, that record made a lot of fans for them!

I'm just gonna throw some excellent albums ... based on what comes first to mind. It's silly to cut the excellent records to 2.

Winner: David Gilmour - On An Island
Runner-up: Mastodon - Blood Mountain

Winner: Sparks - Lil Beethoven
Runner-up: This is a throw away for me because I could go in so many directions... Sufjan Stevens, Antony and the Johnsons, Tom Waits, Nick Cave, and probably a couple dozen other great artists/albums... So just for something different I'm gonna go with Danielson Famile - Ships

Discovery, because after that techno started going mainstream.
