Not the greatest but the 10 i listen to most:
Massive Attack - Bluelines
Oasis - definitely Maybe
Dr Dre - Chronic 2001
Fatboy Slim - Live at Brighton beach
Air - Moon Safari
Primal Scream - Screamadelia
Pulp - Different Class
Prodigy - Fat of the Land
Metallica - Black Album
That's 9, I'll have to come back to you on the last one.
Number 10, Paul Weller - Stanley Road
The Clash - 1st album
Rolling Stones - Exile on Main Street
Beatles - Revolver
Dexys Midnight Runners - Searching For the Young Soul Rebels
The Jam - All Mod Cons
Marvin Gaye - What's Going on
Paul Weller - Wild Wood
Echo and the Bunnymen - Crocodiles
Nick Cave - Push the Sky Away
Dr Feelgood - Down By the Jetty
Always subject to change, apart from the 1st Clash album which is always on every "best of" list.
Carole King - Tapestry
Gil Scott-Heron - The Revolution will not be televised
John Coltrane - A Love Supreme
Stereolab - Sound-Dust
LCD Soundsystem - This is happening
Cat Power - You Are Free
Primal Scream - Screamadelica
Public Enemy - It takes a nation of millions to hold us back
Massive Attack - Mezzanine (I think it's way better than Blue Lines)
Lou Reed - Transformer
Blue Lines takes the lead, with The Stone Roses close behind, Wish You Were Here closing fast...
Looking at the "who's most popular" list, as well as being completely pointless, also throws up who splits the vote with more than one great album - multiple votes for different albums by The Clash, Massive Attack, Pink Floyd, The Doors, U2...
Not such a problem for the Stone Roses, for some reason...
Ok - 10 isn`t nearly enough so im having another 10 which really cant be ommited ....
Screamadelica - Primal Scream
- Fleetwood mac
Hunky-dory - Bowie
stone roses - stone roses
Machinehead - Deep purple
Leftism - Leftfield
James - Laid
Sabbath bloody sabbath - says it all really..
Northern star - Groove armada
On how life is - Macy Gray
Anywere - anytime ...
Blue lines massive attack
No more shall we part nick cave and the bad seeds
A handful of earth dick gaughan
London calling the clash
Highland Connection Runrig
Rastaman vibration bob marley and the wailers
The Specials
Astral weeks van morrison
Us3
Unknown Pleasures joy division. ....whew sweating now 🙂
Knew this would happen no sooner pressed send than Aretha Franklin I never loved a man the way that I love you came to mind 😳
Not such a problem for the Stone Roses, for some reason...
I dunno, I ummed and ahhed about second coming, which is an excellent album by itself but a close 2nd to the self titled release.
It'll change by the time I've written it, but:
Blyth Power - A Little Touch Of Harry In the Night.
The Beta Band - 3 EP's
Little Feat - Dixie Chicken.
Television - Marquee Moon.
Van Morrison - St Dominic's Preview.
Here & Now - Fantasy Shift.
Half Man Half Biscuit - Cammel Laird Social Club.
The Smiths - The Queen is Dead.
Brian Eno - Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy).
Hawkwind - Quark, Strangeness & Charm.
Right, after some though, these are albums that, over the years, I've consistently returned to over and over again. Some were really difficult; Elbow, for example, because I love every one of their records, but I can go back to the first one I heard, their first, and never get tired of it. I could have included Maria McKee's [i]Life Is Sweet[/i], Donald Fagen, [i]The Nightfly[/i], Arcade Fire's [i]Funeral[/i], Eddi Reader's [i]Driftwood[/i], and Death Cab For Cutie's [i]Transatlanticism[/i].
Among others... 😀

Shawn Colvin - A Few Small Repairs
Steely Dan - Aja
In Search of the Lost Chord - Moody Blues
Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band - Beatles
No More Shall We Part - Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
Joshua Tree - U2
After the Gold Rush - Neil Young
Absolution - Muse
I Do Not Play No Rock and Roll - Mississippi Fred McDowell
Trick of the Night - SixToes
Band of Joy - Robert Plant
Number 1 on my list would HAVE to be Radiohead - Kid A

the other 9? well, I'll have to get back to you, far too many rattling around the ol' noggin' (but Blood on the Tracks might be next).

Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells
Rush - 2112

Marvin Gaye 'What's Goin On'
Stevie Wonder 'Innervisions'
Bert Jansch 'Jack Orion'
These United States - the debut with a massive name I can't be ****ed to type
