These could go in any order really, and many others could fit on the list, it's awful hard to narrow down music into any top list. I like some of the others choices, good to see the Black Crowes getting their props. Southern Harmony is truly a great album.

1. Blondie "Plastic Letters"
2. Rush "Rush"
3. INXS "Listen Like Thieves"
4. AC/DC "Back in Black"
5. Pearl Jam "Ten"

8. Nine Black Alps "Everything Is"
9. Blondie "Eat to the Beat"
10. Face to Face "Standards and Practices"

This was a hard one for me, honestly I wanted to put all of QOTSA's albums but I decided to stick with one album per band.

1. Queens of the Stone Age: Lullabyes to Paralyze

2. Eagles of Death Metal: Death by Sexy

3. The Damned: Machine Gun Ettiquette

4. The Vibrators: Pure Mania

5. The Exploited: Punk's Not Dead

6. Pantera: Cowboys From Hell

7. Nine Inch Nails: Pretty Hate Machine

In Flames- Clayman

Foo Fighters- In Your Honor

Bob Marley & The Wailers- Uprising

O.K., I don't know how anyone is supposed to come up with the ultimate 10 list considering the enormous amount of talent to come down the pike in the last 40-50 years; plus the fact that my "top 10" may change from day-to-day. So here is my TOP 10 album list as of this minute, in no particular order:

The Beatles : Abbey Road
The Rolling Stones : Forty Licks
Pink Floyd: Dark Side of the Moon
Doors: L.A. Woman
Miles Davis: Kind of Blue
Bob Dylan: Blood on the Tracks
The Beach Boys: Pet Sounds
Led Zeppelin: Led Zeppelin II
Jimi Hendrix: BBC Sessions
John Coltrane: A Love Supreme

It doesn't seem fair somehow to limit it to just 10 albums so I'll list a few more that I could just as easily have mentioned above:

Derrick & The Dominos: Layla
Stevie Ray Vaughn: Live at Montreaux 1985 & 1989
Joni Mitchell: Blue
...

I could go on for quite a while but i guess I'll stop with what I've got here...

Oh Wow! I like totally forgot to mention Frank Zappa and The Allman Brothers...Oh Well...
