Some damn good calls there - especially 'A Different Kind Of Tension', side two of which is easily my favourite sequence of songs by the Devoto-less line up. 'Love Bites' is the Buzzcocks' nadir to my ears - a real rush job with only two or three half decent songs.
'Kid A' seems to have elicited some revisionism in recent years, with many critics claiming to have loved it all along. Personally, I loved it from day one - 'Amnesiac' ditto.
And, inspired by your mention, I'm grooving to 'Confessions Of A Pop Group' right now. After that I'm going to spin the late period house stuff that got Weller hoyed off his label - wrongly, IMHO.
