For playing ability on Death's albums, I gotta go with Gene Hoglan, and the guy from Howard Stern, Richard Christy.

John Coltrane - A love supreme
Bill Evans and Jim Hall - Undercurrent
Frank Zappa - Grand Wazoo
King Geedorah - Take me to your leader
Neurosis - Eye of every storm
Fugazi - 13 Songs
Brainiac - Hissing prigs
Giddy Motors - Make it pop
Autechre - Amber
Global Communication - 76.14

are 10 perfect albums. I recon I could name another 40 probably.

Gene Hoglan is really good, but I prefer Reinert's cymbal work. He's got a really good sense of texture and polyrhythm. Of course, with the production on Human, a lot of Sean and Steve get buried in there. I'm not big on Richard Christy, but I hear he makes money sticking his finger in girls' assholes now, so good for him.

No particular order, no surprises.

Tortoise - Tortoise
Scott Walker - 4
