i have to agree on a lot of the best of so far, especially "loveless"...my personal choices would have to be two albums that mixed current (at the time) trends with a healthy dose of history: talk talk "laughing stock" (who would have thought a pop band could be capable of such depth) and spiritualized "laser guided melodies" (space rock mixed with gospel, jazz, noise, ambient...jason pierce should pack it in cause his best was his first). if i had to pick a sentimental favorite it would probably be morphine "cure for pain", another band who will undoubtably and unjustly slip into oblivion...in terms of experimentation, any of mouse on mars first four albums would be it for me (a sense of humor mixed with an appreciation for sound)..hey, shit, what about stereolab??? digable planets (the coolest f***ing group of the 90´s no doubt)?????
