I don't want to order them in ranks, but I'll start to say that this is the number one, no matter what:

1. Tool - Lateralus

The other 9 favorites in no specific order:

Agalloch - The Mantle
Rush - Moving Pictures
Dark Tranquillity - The Gallery
Opeth - Morningrise
Vinterland - Welcome to My Last Chapter
Led Zeppelin - I

This is an exercise in frustration - how can you possibly get down to ten albums? In just a few minutes thought I came up with (in no particular order):

Miles Davis - Kind of Blue
REM - Reckoning
Clash - London Calling
Pink Floyd - Wish you were here
Curtis Mayfield - Superfly
Grateful Dead - American Beauty
Talking Heads - More Songs About Buildings and Food
Johnny Cash - Live at Folsom Prison
BB King - Live at the Regal
Brian Eno - Ambient 1: Music for Airports

But that means I leave off:

Allman Brothers - At Fillmore East
King Crimson - Discipline
Parliment - Mothership Connection
Nirvana - Nevermind
Frank Zappa - Hot Rats
Fishbone - Truth and Soul
Stevie Ray Vaughn - In Step
Porcupine Tree - Warsazwa
Television - Marquee Moon
Elvis Costello - Armed Forces
Japan - Tin Drum
David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust

And your no greatest hits requirement eliminates:

Cure - Staring at the Sea
Squeeze - Single's 4 and Under
Bob Marley - Legend
Joy Division - Substance

Not to mention newer music that I haven't lived with long enough to really know down to it's bones.

Welcome to head-fi Crispy.

I like WRM and Muse so decided to sample Men, Women, & Children's myspace. It sounds fun. I'm going to order it.

Thanks!

Bill Frisell: Blues Dream
Bill Frisell: Good Dog, Happy Man
Bill Frisell: East/West
My Bloody Valentine: Loveless
The Cure: Disintegration
Wu Tang: 36 Chambers
Bach: Cello Suites (Pierre Fournier)
Gavin Bryars: The Sinking of the Titanic

no order,
Brian Eno - Taking Tiger Mountain (by strategy)
Tom Tom Club - s/t
Rolling Stones - Exile On Main Street
Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane
Minutemen - Double Nickels On the Dime
Fleetwood Mac - Tusk (esp. sides 3 & 4)
Sonic Youth - EVOL
Elton John - Tumbleweed Connection
Animal Collective - Sung Tongs
King Crimson - Discipline

older stuff 'cause I really can't say if anything in the past couple years will prove to have the staying power that all of these have had since I first heard them 15, 20 years ago.

plus, I'm probably foolish for not including Eat A Peach, Zep. III, Sabbath - Paranoid, Can - Tago Mago, Angels of Light - Sing Other People, and so many others...

 

[Gatticus]

Tom Tom Club, wow, that brings back memories of the 80's. I almost completely forgot about them. Looks like they are still going too. I only ever had their first album.
