Nine Inch Nails:
1. The Downward Spiral
2. The Fragile
3. Broken
4. Year Zero
5. Bad Witch
6. Pretty Hate Machine
7. Ghosts V: Together
8. The Slip
9. Ghosts VI: Locusts
10. With Teeth
11. Hesitation Marks
12. Ghosts I-IV

If Bad Witch gets to be considered an LP then it's only fair to include Broken in the list. With Teeth sounds great as an instrumental, though.

I know it's a very unpopular opinion, but I absolutely love Luciferean Towers. All their records are great, but that one resonates with me more than most.

Type O Negative:

1. World Coming Down
2. October Rust
3. Bloody Kisses
4. Slow, Deep and Hard
5. Life Is Killing Me
6. Dead Again

It's been a while since I last heard their entire discography. I like SDH a lot, just think they found their own sound in the later releases, which makes me want to rank them higher.

Never understood the thing about In Rainbows. The 1993-2003 period, by far my favorite of the band (and I know that it's pretty varied, though I would say that the 1997-2001 sequence was their best ever), blows it out of the water.

I'm really into their more electronic and experimental era, but I would even take anyone of Pablo Honey tracks rather than the entirety of the 2007 album.

I'm sure I offended a good portion of the DM fan base by putting a post-Wilder album at #2 :lol:
