Substance by New Order
Another iconic "best of" album, and a double cassette of their singles (in their 12" form) and B-Sides. It works so well because (a) most of the songs never appeared on an album, so it all sounds so fresh and (b) the ones that do are presented in their far superior versions (hello Bizarre Love Triangle). This was another of those albums that got played on repeat. I'll even forgive them the rerecording of a couple of tracks as *whispers* the version of Temptation is better than the original.
Most significantly, the opening notes of Ceremony are still my go to place whenever I pick up a guitar or bass.
