    Prong...Beg To Differ, Prove You Wrong everything from both albums
    RUSH...Moving Pictures...*The Camera Eye*...Exit Stage Left..*La Villa Strangiato* and Grace Under Pressure everything
    Joe Satriani...albums....Engines of Creation, Crystal Planet, Surfing With The Alien & the album that started it all Not Of This Earth
    Neil Young....Freedom
    Grace Jones....Island Life

    Beethoven :D Listen to all the symphonies in order and by the time you hit the ninth, you will find that there were bits and pieces of it throughout all the previous symphonies. It's also great to listen to if you have to study or really concentrate on a given task :D

    Mr. Bungle - California. I never truly got how awesome "The Holy Filament" was until I heard it through headphones.

    I can't believe Ok Computer and Hail to the Thief were mentioned but not KID A... Kid A is amazing on headphones. Most of the other i can think of were already mentioned.
