These are my favorite albums (in no particular order). Can't limit it to ten though......

1.  Meddle - Pink Floyd
    Mainly because it doesn't get as much radio play as the other Floyd albums
2.  Joe's Garage - Frank Zappa
    I can't understand why alot of poeple don't like this one.  It describes
    a future that Ashcroft could bring us.
3.  Amused to Death - Roger Waters
    Written two years after Desert Storm and it shows.  Definately the best
    post Pink Floyd Roger Waters Album
4.  Abbey Road - The Beatles
    One of the best albums ever
5.  Goodbye Yellow Brick Road - Elton John
    From Funeral for a Friend to Harmony, this is a cool album.  Sounds even
    better on SACD.
6.  Strange Little Girls - Tori Amos
    Tori Amos takes songs written and sung by males and makes them sound like
    her own.  Her version of "Bonnie and Clyde" is just spooky.
7.  Apostrophe - Frank Zappa
    Can't beat Uncle Reamus
8.  Eskimo - The Residents
    Bizarre album, but sounds really good.  You can almost feel the chills as 
    you imagine you are in the artic.
9.  London Calling - The Clash
    One of the best punk albums out there
10. Dream of the Blue Turtles - Sting 
    The best Sting album.
11. Skylarking - XTC
    I don't know what it is about this album, but it is very catchy.
12. Flood - They Might Be Giants
    Long before Barenaked Ladies, there was They Might Be Giants.  Many of
    songs on this album sound like they could be off a kids' album.
13. A Day Without Rain - Enya
    Very relaxing album.
14. PastPresent - Clannad
    I'll admit, I bought this one because of Harry's Game on Patriot Games, but
    its a wonderful album.
15. Rum, Sodomy, and the Lash - The Pogues
    Combine punk and traditional Irish bar music and you get this.
16. The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and Spiders From Mars - David Bowie
    An absolute rocking album.
17. 7th Symphony - Dimitri Shostakovich
    Not a statement on war, but a statement of totalitarian governments.  
    Sounds even better in SACD.
18. Alexander Nevsky - Prokofiev
    The music for the Battle on the Ice is well worth it.
19. 9th Symphony - Beethoven
    Probably one of the best pieces of music out there.
20. Romanian Rhapsody - Enesco
    Very relaxing music.

This list is by no means complete.  Most of it greatly depends on my mood.
