Good call on the Floyd - Animals. It was a toss between this and Dark Side for me. Its actually the only PF I still listen to regularly. Great choice.

Thanks! It was actually a toss up between this and Dark Side for me as well, such great timeless albums. Animals just means a little more to me I guess...

Prince- Purple Rain

Ramones- Rocket to Russia

Andrew WK- I Get Wet

Stooges- Funhouse

Black Sabbath- s/t

Raveonettes- Great Love Sound

Slayer- Reign in Blood

Screeching Weasel- Anthem for a New Tomorrow

John Carpenter- Escape from New York OST

Samhain- Initium

That's based off full length official releases. Lots of 7" collections I'd slap in there too.

I also left out some newer releases I suspect might fit on there for times sake. Runners up include Mercyful Fate Melissa, Deafheaven Sunbather (so what?) White

Stripes s/t and Misfits Walk Among Us

only reason i'm putting this on here is because, after reading a couple of pages, I didn't see more than one or two albums I've ever even listened to, let alone put in my top ten. so here's to something [potentially] new in this thread: 

 

in no order and off the top of my head:

 

Sleeping at Last - Keep No Score

The most beautiful album in my life. Descriptive lyrics and the perfect amount of orchestral love.

 

The Format - Interventions & Lullabies

Where it all started for me. Heard "Tie the Rope" while working at Hollister (ha!) in 2005 and never looked back.

 

Jack's Mannequin - Everything In Transit

If I could call anything #1, it's this. Never attached to any album more than this one.

 

Mae - The Everglow

Such clean amazing pop/rock. Great voice, great guitars, great melodies, and awesome "concept" album.

 

Taking Back Sunday - Where You Want To Be

Edging out one of a few Dashboard albums as my emo inclusion, it was, in my opinion, TBS's purest effort.

 

Relient K - Mmhmm (Time will tell if FANSD passes it up)

I love Matt Thiessen's music. This is the most wonderful sunny album.

 

Paramore - Brand New Eyes

Possibly my favorite mixed album of all time. Listened to it a lot when I was touring. Last time we got to hear the Farro brothers write for Paramore--sad.

 

Death Cab For Cutie - Transatlanticism

It just has to be on there. These songs are timeless. TIMELESS.

 

Damien Rice - O

By far the album I've listened to least on this list, because it's depression perfection.

 

fun. - Some Nights

Only thing in the last couple years I've included on the list. Music is a different thing for me now, but I truly love listening to every song on this album.

Fun's RSD EP that is shaped like a gear is really good.

Like others, choosing only 10 would realistically impossible, so I include 15 as well as the "as of right now" caveat so I sleep at night when I realize who I've left off the top of my head in 5 minutes. These are all certainly some of the most important albums to me and I'd never do without them.

1. Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon

2. Prince - Purple Rain

3. Rush - Moving Pictures

4. Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin II

5. Nirvana - Nevermind

6. The Beatles - Abbey Road

7. The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds

8. Radiohead - OK Computer

9. Michael Jackson - Thriller

10. The Beastie Boys - Paul's Boutique

11. Tool - Lateralus

12. Weezer - Blue Album

13. The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Are You Experienced?

14. Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

15. Rage Against the Machine - Rage Against the Machine

Holy cow, this is without much thought, so it's bound to have a few swapped out:

 

Slow Gherkin - Shed Some Skin

The Pharcyde - Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde

Soul Coughing - El Oso

Neil Young - Time Fades Away

MxPx - Life In General

Mason Jennings - S/T

Tom Waits - Nighthawks At The Diner

David Dondero - Simple Love

Fifteen - Swain's First Bike Ride

Joel Plaskett - In Need Of Medical Attention

 

This is way too difficult

This is why it's so difficult.  I completely left out Pet Sounds.

An Justice For All is a fantastic album.  I love it as well.  

 

When I was stationed in Korea I used to see the double LP for sale all the time for around 10-12 dollars.  Unfortunately I never picked a copy up.
