I do like Ana Ng! Really. I just like those other ones MORE.
There's very little *bad* TMBG, in my opinion.
Kaylee: So how many fell madly in love with you and wanted to take you away from all this? Inara: Just the one. I think I'm slipping.
'Serenity'
Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Silence means security silence means approval
That is, records which exploited the studio in some new way such that records which came afterwards reflected that new approach to sound. Obvious examples range from Pet Sounds to It Takes A Nation of Millions To Hold Us Back
I'm still not sure I get it. Is this a technical question or a musical question? Because these are two different things to me. Are you talking about the sort of technical innovations Tom Scholz did in his home studio, or the massively imitated "sound" of My Bloody Valentine's Loveless?

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi
I'm going to have to say Never Mind the Bollocks, because nothing sounded like it before. I don't know how much of that is technical, though, since I'm just a simple unfrozen caveman.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
or the massively imitated "sound" of My Bloody Valentine's Loveless?
More like Loveless I guess.
The Talking Heads, Speaking in Tongues
I would've said Remain in Light or even My Life In the Bush of Ghosts was the breakthrough record.

Remain in Light
That's probably what I meant to type.

Dinosaur Jr. - "Bug".
Loveless wouldn't have happened without it.
And while I think "You're Living All Over Me" is a better album, it was the dozen-overdubbed-guitar-attack of "Bug" that was more influential in terms of sound.

I think most of us use iTunes.
Damn. I can't use iTunes, because it won't load onto Windows ME computers.
Any other options?

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Unkonwn Pleasures by Joy Division. Martin Hannett's production was definitely an influence on much of what was to come, IMO. Metal Box by PiL was also quite striking.

Always Anti-fascist!
Not sure I know much about studio stuff but a lot of women would not be recording artists today without Janis Joplin's "Pearl" or Patti Smith's "Horses" making women's place in rock much more...serious?(it's early...don't have the right words yet. Sorry.) But now when I hear Alanis, Fiona, Melissa E.,who paid tribute with her awesome cover of "Piece of My Heart" that is what I think. Not to slight Grace Slick, bitterness over "We Built This City" notwithstanding. Also, and unrelated to the "girls with guitars", I'd feel remiss if I didn't say "What's Goin' On?"
