I can't do a particular order and i'll try to stop at ten....

Discipline--King Crimson
Blackwater Park--Opeth
Sound Awake--Karnivool
Epoch--Fen
Aenima--Tool
Panopticon--Isis
Dark Side of the Moon/Wish You Were Here--Pink Floyd (both are equal in my book)
A Tower of Silence--Anubis
Ecailles de Lune--Alcest
Fear of a Blank Planet--Porcupine Tree
Lateralus--Tool

And even though i'm a huge Tool fan, i left out 10,000 days cuz i take the word album seriously and if it weren't for those few fillers, it would be on this list.  Had to get that off my chest...hah

Ok, lets start a RUSH war with this: Wink

My Rankings of RUSH records:

1. Hemispheres  - nothing comes close, perhaps the best hard rock recording of all time, IMHO
2. Farewell To Kings - beats 2112 by a micron. I saw Xanadu (full version) live in 1980, it was to die for.Big smile
3. 2112 - virtual tie with Farewell to Kings
4. Moving Pictures - most popular for sure
5. Permanent Waves - side two is a real sleeper  Big smile
6. Signals - I love this record, great arrangements!
7. Fly By Night - Classic bass work by Geddy

and then the rest....

I actually have an "official" list of my top 100, but they're not in order of preference, and I'm hard pressed to choose just ten from there.  so I'll just go with today's mood and present these in alphabetical order:

Beatles – A Hard Day’s Night
Jack Bruce - Harmony Row
Can – Future Days
Earth and Fire - Earth and Fire
Emerson Lake and Palmer – Tarkus
The Fall – This Nation’s Saving Grace
Genesis - Selling England By the Pound
Michael Hoenig - Departure From the Northern Wasteland
Madness - Keep Moving
Magma - Opera de Reims, 1976
Pink Floyd – Atom Heart Mother
Secret Oyster – Straight From the Krankenhaus
Soft Machine – Third
