Not to be nit-picky here, but Meddle was released in 1971, and Live at Pompeii is not strictly an album (as excellent as the film is).

I chose Pink Floyd's Live at Pompeii too, so I've swapped it for my standby choice: The Moody Blues - Seventh Sojourn.

That's an impossible request but i'll at least post 10 that are my absolute fave albums of all time In alphabetically order (i'm purposefully not choosing albums on our top 100) 1 Brainstorm - Smile A While 2 Gnidrolog - In Spite of Harry's Toe Nail 3 Gnidrolog - Lady Lake 4 Grobschnitt - S/T 5 Haikara - S/T 5 Matching Mole - Matching Mole 6 McLuan - Anomoly 7 Moving Gelatine Plates - The World of Genius Hans 8 Mythos - Mythos 9 Nektar - Journey To The Center Of The Eye 10 Quella Vecchia Locanda - S/T I would've chosen Osanna - Palepoli but most sources say it came out in 1973 not 72 as listed here
