Diversion!

[dench]

Here's my selection.  I have cheated slightly, but then who hasn't?

1.  Band of Susans - 'Here Comes Success'
2.  This Mortal Coil - 'Boxed Set'
3.  Angel Cage - 'Sophie Magic'
4.  Pere Ubu - 'Datapanik in the Year Zero'
5.  King Crimson - 'The Great Deceiver'
6.  The God Machine - 'Scenes From the Second Storey'/'One Last Laugh in a
Place of Dying....'
7.  John Cale - 'The Island Years'
8.  Can - 'Monster Movie'
9.  Lydia Lunch - 'Shotgun Wedding'
10. Quicksilver Messenger Service - 'Happy Trails'

If I could take an eleventh, it would be 'Fear Engine II' by the Shock
Headed Peters (Sabnak Haborym Pazuzu).
