I am not sure I can do this at all: I haven't really thought in this way before and my favourites also change with mood, as other have said. Currently the list would look something like this, but in no special order

Liege and Lief - Fairport Convention
Wee Tam and the Big Huge - Incredible String Band
Let Love In - Nick Cave
Three Ravens - Malinky
Rain Dogs - Tom Waits
Hand of Kindness - Richard Thomson
Blonde on Blonde - Bob Dylan
Songs of Leonard Cohen -Leonard Cohen
Fado Em Mim - Mariza
My own compilation of Judy Collins stuff

Love that album - I do have a soft touch for the old metal .

Wouldn't know where to start when composing a top ten albums list. I'll have to ponder it for awhile... something by Johnny Cash, one of 50s/60s albums. Something by Bruce Springsteen and perhaps End Of The Innocence by Don Henley.

Its like the infamous two albums on a desert island question. There are albums that make me swell with nostalgia, albums I know like the back of my hand but most of the time my selection is mood based. And my opinions on quality seem to vary from day-to-day. If I were to base it on my most listened-to albums it would compromise more of artists like The Waterboys, Chris Isaak and Gerry Rafferty.

Indeed, it's a very good album. I got hold of "Killing the Dragon" today, because I wanted some of the newer Dio. Not as good as Holy Diver though.

Next I'll get a Black Sabbath LP with Dio on vocals (can't stand Ozzy).
I think it was Live Evil or something.

Uh, that's a tough one... My taste in music has changed somewhat over the years, so I'll try to make a list of albums that reflect this, instead of just listine my 10 favorites-at-the-moment-albums. So some albums on this list are albums I rarely listen to anymore, but years ago they meant a great deal to me.

- The Smashing pumpkins - Mellon collie and the infinite sadness
- Kashmir - Cruzential
- Green Day - Kerplunk
- Metallica - Black album
- Coheed & Cambira - Good Apollo, I'm burning star IV, volume one: From fear through the eyes of madness
- Placebo - Meds
- Muse - Absolution
- Rage against the machine - Rage against the machine
- Salem - The trilogy (The anatomy of pain, I kicked the dog, From the riverbank)
- Sorten muld - Mark II

Oh, this was soooo difficult. There are too many great albums to choose from, and I'd much rather make a top 50 But I guess this list does reflect my taste in music somewhat. I would have liked to make room for The living End, Tool, Trivium, Ricochets, Antony & the Johnsons, Rufus Wainwright, Millencolin, Freya, Skunk Anansie, Fermin Muguruza, Hell is for heroes, Flogging Molly, Figurines, Barbs, Aerogramme etc, etc.

Hey Coot!
Just finished listening to Dark Side of the Moon for the ??? time...
as for Zappa, I had almost thought that nobody knew of him except us old farts.
Thanks for bringing back memories...now I just have to curse a little as I realize that most of my Zappa walked out the door during the divorce a few years back...grumble grumble...

Really hard to limit them down... so I cheated a little .

1. Nirvana - Nevermind
2. Tool - AEnima
3. Led Zeppelin - IV
4. Pink Floyd - The Dark Side of the Moon
5. Live - Throwing Copper (What's weird is I hate their other stuff, but this one album totally kicks ass. Never had this big of a turn around about a band; where I can go from listening to a whole ablum without skipping any songs to not caring if the other albums even existed.)
6. (tied) Modest Mouse - The Moon & Antarctica
6. (tied) Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti
7. Pearl Jam - Vs.
8. Nirvana - In Utero
9. Led Zeppelin - I
10. A Perfect Circle - Mer de Noms

Close, but didn't make the cut: the rest of Led Zeppelin's albums, Tool - Lateralus, The Blue Man Group - Audio, , Seether - Disclaimer II, Silverchair - Frogstomp, Powderfinger - Odyssey Number Five, Metallica - Metallica (Black Album)
