Not really in order (except perhaps for the first 2), and not necessarily 10... I'll just list the ones I think more special, even if I'll surely be missing some albums I really love too:
- Wish you were Here by Pink Floyd. - Animals by Pink Floyd. - Fragile by Yes. - Close to the Edge by Yes. - The Myths and Legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, by Rick Wakeman. - Ommadawn by Mike Oldfield. - And I guess Hybrys by Anglagard should make the cut too. Perhaps The Whilrwind by Transatlantic too... and after that, well, there's many I do love but wouldn't know how to rank them... |

I fleshed it out a little more: 11. Genesis - Selling England By the Pound 12. Jade Warrior - Floating World 13. Steve Hackett - To Watch the Storms 14. Frank Zappa - Hot Rats 15. King Crimson - Lark's Tongues in Aspic 16. Jethro Tull - Aqualung 17. Frank Zappa & MOI - One Size Fits All 18. Henry Kaiser - Lemon Fish Tweezer 19. Focus - Focus III 20. Univers Zero - Heresie Still not too many slots for a whole lot additional good stuff. I would probably do this differently on another occasion. |

As I got some really good suggestions from this thread, I want to thank everyone for their lists.
Also, asking for just 10 is pretty cruel .I'll try, but don't ask me again tomorrow: David Bedford - The Song of the White Horse Eskaton – Four Visions John Coltrane - Ascension Kayo Dot – Dowsing Anemone in Copper Tongue Magma – Mekanik Destruktiw Kommandoh Pokrovsky Ensemble – Stravisnky: Les Noces Stuttgart State Opera - Philip Glass: Akhnaten The Mars Volta – Bedlam in Goliath Van der Graaf Generator – Pawn Hearts Yes – Tales From Topographic Oceans |
