    Been following this thread for a while & thought I'd finally submit my top 20 for review outta curiousity. These are the albums that I would quite happily only listen to for the rest of my life if made to choose.... :)
    Granted, if I re-wrote this tomorrow, it would probably be slightly different...but only slightly! So, in no particular order.....

    1. DJ Shadow-Entroducing
    2. Thin Lizzy-Live & Dangerous
    3. Florence & the Machine-Lungs
    4. OST to Assassination of Jesse James...
    5. Faithless-Reverence
    6. dEUS-No More Loud Music
    7. Simon & Garfunkel-The Best Of...
    8. Nick Drake-5 Leaves Left
    9. Metallica-S & M
    10. Kerbdog-On The Turn
    11. R.A.T.M.-R.A.T.M.
    12. Daft Punk-Discovery
    13. Jeff Waynes War of the Worlds
    14. Johnny Cash-American IV-The Man Comes Around
    15. Oceans 11 (original album with Frank Sinatra/Dean Martin et al)
    16. Smashing Pumpkins-Melon Collie and...
    17. The Clash-Clash on Broadway (but if that's condsidered cheating, then their live album "From Here To Eternity")
    18. u.n.k.l.e.-Never Never Land
    19. Eddie Vedder-Into The Wild
    20. The Streets-Original Pirate Material

    and that's my lot...!

Also other artists (elbow, bonnie prince billie, and more) who I may listen to more by disography or individual tracks are not mentioned because i've never really connected with a particular album as a whole
