I'm sure I'll feel completely different about this by lunchtime, but I'll play. I think it's important that a list like this should be colored by your own sentimental attachment to the records more than any notion of musical supremacy:
Astral Weeks Only Built for Cuban Linx Rubber Soul (but really it could have been any Beatles album) Marquee Moon London Calling Low End Theory Sweet Exorcist Axis Bold As Love Paranoid Velvets Live
The Mercury one. It's just the way they should be heard to me, with the songs all stretched out and the feedback going. My ultimate rainy day record. I'm gonna blast it right now as a matter of fact. Max's actually manages to be that rare record that is so badly recorded I can't get into it.

Agreed. Ocean on there is a facemelter. Even outside of recording quality, the Max's date sucks. Sans Moe Tucker! Fuck all that.

They're could probably be a top 50 that I like as much as these albums but this is what comes to mind.
Ice Cube "Death Certificate/America's Most Wanted" Jay Z "Blueprint" Ohio Players "Pleasure/Pain/" Jodeci "Diary of a Mad Band" Stevie Wonder "Innervisions" Tribe "Midnight Mauraders" Slum Village "Fantastic Vol 1" Curtis Mayfield "Curtis" NWA "Evil4Zaggin" Marvin Gaye "I Want You"
Still Standing - Soul Food is a better album, but this definately has the more "personal connection" for me.
Fresh
Tago Mago
The Stylistics
Astral Weeks
Ghetto Music
Highway 61 Revisited
Freedom Now Suite
Up For the Down Stroke - This may be a head scratcher but I think it's the collective's most overlooked album. There are songs on here that sound like nothing else, "Presence of a Brain," "All Your Goodies Are Gone," "The Goose." I play this record more than anything else I own.
Comments
I should start over. How about top tens that are never on anybody's top ten?

The Congos- Heart of the Congos

gbv is the more sentimental pick; southwestern ohio boy.
both records are great, but i think you could use another soul record on that list.
aretha- never loved a man
Aw shit. How did I forget the first Funkadelic lp? See ya Sticky Fingers.
Sticky Fingers----Let it Bleed-----Exile---Beggars are all equal to me anyway.
I seriously considered Heart of the Congos and Funhouse would be number 12 or 13.
perfect. i was trying to fit that one on my list.
Astral Weeks
Only Built for Cuban Linx
Rubber Soul (but really it could have been any Beatles album)
Marquee Moon
London Calling
Low End Theory
Sweet Exorcist
Axis Bold As Love
Paranoid
Velvets Live
Edited that shit already...
Max's? or the one on Mercury? Or is there another?
Agreed. Ocean on there is a facemelter. Even outside of recording quality, the Max's date sucks. Sans Moe Tucker! Fuck all that.

Bulahoe Mindstate (sp) (running through the trenches)
Bryter Layter

Sargent Peppers (My personal Beatles pick)
Ornette Coleman - The shape of jazz to come (could be a trade of with change of the century though)
Temptations - Cloud Nine
Jimi - Electric Lady Land
Alkaholics - Coast II Coast (hate away but this is one of my favorite hip hop lps)
Wu Tang - Enter the Wu Tang
Monk - Straight no Chaser (could easily be Underground)
Coltrane - Blue Train
Both in heavy rotation past few weeks.
I would probably scratch one of these for the meters S/T. I also need room for Dylan record (Blond on Blond?) fuck this shit is hard.
