Playing by the same (or at least very similar) rules - here is my Top 20 list. I've spent quite a bit of time on this (probably way more than I should have), so if nothing else it's the most honest favorite albums list I've ever compiled.

20) Cheap Trick "Heaven Tonight"
19) Queens of the Stone Age "Rated R"
18) Public Enemy "Fear of a Black Planet"
17) Bob Dylan "Highway 61 Revisited"
16) The Velvet Underground "The Velvet Underground & Nico"
15) Charles Mingus "Charles Mingus Presents Charles Mingus"
14) Radiohead "Kid A"
13) Curtis Mayfield "Curtis/Live!"
12) Drive-By Truckers "Southern Rock Opera"
11) Massive Attack "Mezzanine"
10) Metallica "Ride the Lightning"
09) Beastie Boys "Check Your Head"
08) D'Angelo "Voodoo"
07) Miles Davis "Get Up With It"
06) The Rolling Stones "Beggars Banquet"
05) Roxy Music "For Your Pleasure"
04) Iggy & the Stooges "Raw Power"
03) The Beatles "The Beatles [White Album]"
02) Neil Young "Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere"
01) Sonic Youth "Daydream Nation"

Give me a couple more months and I'll match your 21-40...

Nice! Many of yours are ones I'd include should I attempt such a bizzare, challenging and fun task. Within minutes, I had five more to include, but I stuck to my guns. I just re-read mine, and I think that many of them speak to your "sonic circuitry" idea. Pack a punch indeed. Thanks for playing, Matt!
