My list:

1. Nas - Illmatic
2. Global Communication - 76:14
3. TLC - CrazySexyCool
4. Autechre - Amber
5. Method Man - Tical
6. Portishead - Dummy

16. Elastica - Elastica
17. Gravediggaz - 6 Feet Deep

There's a mix of records that are better than more celebrated albums in the artist's back catalogue (Beck, Sugar), and some that are great, but I've marked down because the artist has done better stuff (Autechre, Prodigy, Aphex, Beasties).

2. Blaggers ITA - ‘Bad Karma’
3. Biosphere - ‘Patashnik’
4. Bandulu - ‘Antimatters’
5. Fun-Da-Mental - ‘Seize The Time’
6. Senser - ‘Stacked Up’
7. Portishead - ‘Dummy’
8. Autechre - ‘Amber’
9. Kristin Hersh - ‘Hips And Makers’
10. The Sabres Of Paradise - ‘Haunted Dancehall’
11. Shampoo - ‘We Are Shampoo’
12. The Prodigy - ‘Music For The Jilted Generation’
13. Beastie Boys - ‘Ill Communication’
14. Scarface - ‘The Diary’
15. Chumbawamba - ‘Showbusiness!’
