Your questioning of how to pronounce Ænima made me wonder. I've always thought it was just a fancy way of spelling "anima" – the Jungian concept for the feminine part of the male psychology – just like "encyclopædia" for "encyclopedia", which is pronounced just like "animal" but without the L. But TIL: "Ænima" is Tool combining "anima" and "enema"...

Stars - Hum and Mayonnaise - Smashing Pumpkins. Bonus points for The Elephant Riders - Clutch. I also like things that are nice.

All awesome. Always impossible to narrow down to a list that pleases everyone, but this was so much fun! My honorable mention would have been Metropolis part 1
