I have both Squarepusher CDs. I personally prefer "feed me weird things."
I think the Squarepusher theme off of the first is brilliant.
I play both regularly, but I must say this:

I'll take Plug/Vibert's "tricksy showing-off" on "Drum and Bass for Papa" over
both of the Squarepusher's anyday, but that's just my personal opinion and I
am in no way trying to start a "who is better than who" thread or flame.

I guess I'll contribute my top five:

1. Moloko - Do you like my tight sweater?
2. Lewis Taylor - Lewis Taylor
3. Isaac Hayes - Tough Guys soundtrack
4. Bernard Hermann - Taxi Driver Soundtrack
5. Plug - Drum n' Bass for Papa
