The Undertones - Teenage Kicks [EP]: 8 (A-)
All tracks are on my version of the debut, but I wanted to listen to it as an EP to see how it hit me, given its importance in punk history. I would buy a copy just for that, but copies are too expensive.
The Replacements - Boink: notation
Contains cuts from Hootenanny and Stink, plus two songs that I did play three times -- "If Only You Were Lonely" and "Nowhere Is My Home."
DNA - DNA on DNA: 8.5 (high A-)
This includes their seminal EP from 1981, A Taste of DNA, plus I believe everything else they ever recorded. The great Arto Lindsay on guitar.
Buzzcocks - Love Bites/Another Music in a Different Kitchen: 8 (A-)
This is the twofer I have. Grade applies to both albums. Not really the ideal way to hear these (too much at once), but this is what I have.

Les Ambassadeurs - Dance Music From West Africa [Rounder, 1984]: 8 (A-)
Christgau has this as self-titled. It was also released as Best of Ambassadeurs.
