Solid Gold is awesome though. I often think of it as more industrial sounding than the debut, kind of in the same way that Closer is moreso than Unknown Pleasures. Not as in "industrial music," but more the mood or driving pulse.

Either way, it's a rad as hell album. I like it a lot.

Addendum: This category is too hard.
I think I prefer SG to E! because I like the drums more and it's less “rock” and more idiosyncratic. Very much a 1 and 1a thing, but I for significance and impact, it has to be E!

Rum, Sodomy - The Pogues
GEER
A Quick One - The Who
Small Faces - Small Faces (Immediate version)
SLF - Nobody's Heroes (.Side two is weak in parts but side one plays like a "best of")
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

No order other than how they emerged from my brain.

PiL - Metal Box
Gang of Four - Solid Gold
Idlewild - 100 Broken Windows
Pixies - Doolittle
Wire - Chairs Missing
Blimey, Solid Gold must be good if it is much better than Entertainment. I'd better give it a listen.
Wait, do these have to be better than the first album or just really fucking good second albums? I went with the latter assumption. All my picks still work, tho the Go4 is a bit of a stretch.

Edit: Why is the quoting fucked up?
I thought it was the former, but not to worry either way, seems like I have a new album to explore.

SG is my favourite — love the weirdo noise groove. What We All Want is probably my favourite Go4 song.

Marky... banned from his own thread?!? For shame.

It's Heston's thread I was only ever incumbent. I'll take the ban and look forward to receiving more. As for shame I feel nothing.

You're banned from being banned for a year then.

I agree with this.
