Anything from The Sisters of Mercy or Clan of Xymox will get me going but, I promise you, it will get ugly.

Is there any website which provides the contexts or stories of the songs? Some are pretty obvious (We didn’t start the fire, Road to Moscow etc.), some are possibly symbolic (Eagle, El Condor Pasa) but I always wonder what are the stories of most of the songs. Kinda leaves me hanging 
.
If you mean what the song is addressing in its lyric I use songmeanings.com but you dont get answers just perspectives from other listeners but its an interesting read!

The best thing I can say about that list is that musical taste is all subjective.

Congratulations: that’s the first time I’ve seen the words “happy” and “Sinead O’Connor” in the same same sentence.

Thanks for the effort! It’s always fun to see music journos make themselves look foolish.
Anyway I have 17 of the 35 but just two get in my top 35: Jeff Buckley’s Grace and REM’s Automatic for the People. The two Radiohead albums used to be played a lot but I don’t get as much out of them as I once did.

A truly miraculous example of how songwriting and singer come together to express very deep feelings. The background to this track is that the writers: a 20 year-old Richard Thompson and his more experienced partner fiddle player Dave Swarbrick, survived a car crash that killed two ; Thompson’s girlfriend and the band’s drummer.
In their grief which the lyrics show was complicated by a high degree of ‘survivor guilt’, they wrote this to process their loss and struck upon the idea of doing so in the form and language of traditional folk balladry. Lyrics are mostly Thompson’s the music mostly Swarbrick’s.
Now the singing…Sandy Denny.
The third and most crucial collaborator was suffering from survivor guilt to an even greater degree having decided she wanted to travel back from the fateful gig in more comfort than the rest of them in the back of the van that crashed. What she brings to this performance is even beyond that set of circumstances somehow though, it’s just bravely professional in an unsentimental, not self-pitying way that neither of the writers would have been able to pull off. Like I said you can’t really say more than miraculous:
