Couldn't possibly say, and definitely not in any particular order - that will change with my moods. And some albums I really love I do because they have some great songs on, but wouldn't be a top album because they're not ALL great songs... some would maybe surpass those in this list. Other Albums I like are definitely great but I need to be in the right mood to appreciate them. But these are albums that draw me into their world, and affected me and my music in a big way.

 

U2 - Achtung Baby

Pink Floyd - Animals

Arcade Fire - Neon Bible

Bloc Party - A Weekend in the City

Elbow - Seldom Seen Kid

Porcupine Tree - Fear of a Blank Planet

Sigur Ros - Takk

Tool - Lateralus

Amplifier - The Octopus

...And I'll leave the tenth one open.

Pick any 10 from these, and you'd be close.

that is quite nice.

 

i posted my top 10, but it is so hard

 

top 30 would be much easier, or top 50

 

 

isn't amazing that our human brains can fully envelope that much information? i'm sitting here looking at the other lists analyzing the fact "yep, that entire album is amazing as well" if we as musicians had our smartness evaluated on music knowledge we'd all be geniuses
