A truly great album is a work of art to be played in its entirety, not merely a collection of singles (which is what most are these days, thanks in part to downloading).  With that in mind, I'll throw out two of the tightest, most cohesive, albums I've ever heard:

The Problem With Me, by Seam
Mouthfuls, by Fruitbats

(and about a dozen live MMJ shows from the FTP server)

[katkillad]

Toadies - Rubberneck
Coldplay - Yellow
APC - Mer De Norms
Tool - Aenima ( Such a hard decision with Undertow )
DMB - Under the table and dreaming
Metallica - And justice for all
Blur - Think Tank
Nickel Creek - This Side
Queens of the Stone Age - Queens of the Stone Age
Queens of the Stone Age = Rated R

If I had another spot QOTSA Songs for the deaf would be my #11.  I would have liked to put Weezer's blue album and Sublime's self titled album on there as well...but they just didnt stack up with everything else.

( I know it wasn't specified...but I left out most stuff pre 90's. )  Pink Floyd/The Doors/Jimi Hendrix and many others just make things unfair.  So I went with stuff I grew up on.

[Rabid_Washcloth]

Damn...a Fruit Bats album.  I prefer Echolocation though.

These threads should always be made easier by making it "Top Ten Albums besides your Dark Side, White Album, Nevermind, etc".  No offense to those who chose them.

Somewhere in my top ten lies J.J. Cale - "Troubador".  I'll be the first to throw in MMJ - "At Dawn".

Yeah the good thing is that everyone usually has a couple that you've never heard that are awesome albums.  I know I have some stuff to go check out now, Fruitbats, Big Star, etc. I also want to check out VHS or Beta because of some threads.

I think R.E.M.'s "Automatic For The People" goes high up on this list.

But, for me, it's an impossible task to figure it out.

Maybe Microphones' "The Glow Pt. 2" should be nr. 2????

Well, never mind, my head goes insane thinking about all this............

[The Boar]

Television's "Marquee Moon" definitely has to have a spot on there, and maybe something by Captain Beefheart?

[MMJ_fanatic]

in no particular order:
A Perfect Circle: Mer de Noms
Led Zeppelin:  Physical Grafitti
Stones:  Let it bleed
Allmans:  Live at Fillmore East (I know, I know...)
Ramones:  Rocket to Russia
there's 5 I need time to sift through the data banks for the other 5--too much good stuff over the years ;)

10.  Houses of the Holy-Led Zeppelin
9.   The Who-Who's Next?

glad to see fugazi representing.  They're putting out a series of live shows on cd, but only via the web.  First one's out: it's an early show, before Guy (BG :))
