    I know this thread was a joke but how the hell has it gone on so long. Reading through its obvious you nothing about music and this paragraph sums it up. I'd rather poke my own eyes out with a screwdriver than post my favourite albums to be rated by anyone.

    Your face is a joke. I assume the eye pokery would be a vast improvement.

    Here's my 20 - there's a few compilations because I tend to like alot of music made before LPs were widespread.

    And I didn't throw in Illmatic or Straight Outta Compton to make myself look cool either. Hip-Hop has no great albums in my opinion, only great singles.

    Feck this is difficult. I've tried my best to get a good sample from across the decades, and from various genres, although rock/indie is definitely my favourite. There are so many good albums and artists that are not represented, but I tried to focus on the true pioneers.

    The Velvet Underground - The Velvet Underground & Nico
    The Beatles - White Album
    Led Zeppelin - IV
    The Stooges - Raw Power
    The Clash - London Calling
    Talking Heads - Remain in Light
    The Smiths - The Queen is Dead
    The Cure - Disintegration
    Dinosaur Jr. - You're Living All Over Me
    Pixies - Surfer Rosa
    Pavement - Slanted and Enchanted
    Joy Division - Substance (A compilation I know, but as most of there music was never released on a studio album I decided to include it)
    A Tribe Called Quest - People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm
    The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses
    Nirvana - Nevermind
    Radiohead - Ok Computer
    Sigur Rós - Ágætis byrjun
    The Strokes - Is This It?
    Interpol - Turn on the Bright Lights
    Arcade Fire - Funeral
    LCD Soundsystem - Sound of Silver

    Edit:- shit left out pixies don't know how that happened, added surfer rosa, removed weezer pinkerton.
    Edit2.0: - wanted to add Talking Heads 'Remain in Light', but didn't know what to remove, Pavements 'Slanted and Enchanted' or Oasis 'Definitely Maybe', went with Oasis because they're generally over represented in these lists, and Pavement tragically unrepresented.
    Edit3.0: - Left out Joy Division, was forced to remove sage francis.

    Unrepresenting rap and electronic tbh, but hey that's just the way I lean.

    I'm happy enough with this, if a fan of alternative stuff rated my taste highly, then i would be worried.

    Haha, let's do this.

    Two notes:
    1. Yes, I know a lot of this music is new, I guess I just prefer newer music. I'm open to music regardless of age, but this is the result.

    2. I've been open to hip-hop, but none of the albums I've heard to date have made the list. I've not been a fan of the "WU TANG CLAN AIN'T NOTHIN TO **** WIT" old-school hip-hop, nor can I stand the mainstream hip-hop on the radio. I know that there's a middle ground, and I've promised to give hip-hop another chance soon. If I HAD to add a hip-hop album, I'd add Kanye West's The College Dropout.

    In NO order, one-album-by-artist.

    1. Funeral by Arcade Fire
    2. By The Way by Red Hot Chili Peppers
    3. Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not by Arctic Monkeys
    4. Alive 2007 by Daft Punk
    5. In Rainbows by Radiohead (comment: only other radiohead album I heard was OK Computer, I liked it but it doesn't deserve to be here)
    6. Live at Rock Werchter by Damien Rice (comment: I have no shame)
    7. Good News For People Who Love Bad News by Modest Mouse (comment: I still have not listened to The Moon & Antarctica or any of their earlier stuff. I don't know why.)
    8. Cross by Justice (comment: This wouldn't have been the case before, but it really has grown on me)
    9. Tonight: Franz Ferdinand
    10. Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix by Phoenix (comment: I also love some of the Phoenix Remixed disc that comes with the deluxe version of the album)
    11. Absolution by Muse
    12. Sigh No More by Mumford & Sons
    13. Mirror's Edge: The Original Videogame Score by Solar Fields
    14. The Dark Side of The Moon by Pink Floyd
    15. Urban Hymns by The Verve
    16. Let's Dance by David Bowie
    17. Antidotes by Foals (comment: It was REALLY hard to choose between this and Total Life Forever, but I've got Antidotes+B-Sides and the B-Sides were awesome)
    18. Demon Days by Gorillaz
    19. Brothers by The Black Keys
    20. Silent Alarm by Bloc Party
