Essential Albums

[wubstep]

Might be wrong section, sorry 'bout that.

Warrior Dubz only came to my attention a day or two ago, realised I might have missed some essential listening first time around, how about listing some albums (solo or not) that no one should be without.

I'll start off just for the sake of it;

Plastician - Beg to Differ
Vex'd - Degenerate
Benga - Diary of...
Dubstep Allstars 1-7?
James Blake - s/t
MAH presents Warrior Dubz
Skream - Skream!
2562 - Unbalance
Burial - Untrue
Phaleah - Within the Emptiness

Burial - s/t
V/A - Grime II (kode9, DMZ, Loefah)
Kode9 + Spaceape - Memories of the Future
Vex'd - Degenerate
Cyrus - From The Shadows

Skream - Skream!

Of course, how could I forget these? Definite listen for people interested in where the sound came from. Think when the Hotflush Back And Forth compilation comes out, that can be added to this list.
