10. The Mars Volta - Amputechture

this reminds me De-Loused in the Comatorium should be in my 8 but there's no room.

I didn't really care for Amputechture, though.

I feel bad leaving Amputechture out. Also, a lot of early 80's New Wave.

8 is not enough!

Its probably one of my top 3 favorites, just cause it was the first one i listened to, its defiantly not up to the caliber of some of their other stuff, but for me its just got a feeling of nostalgia.
