Yes this is a direct ripoff of the other thread, but as it provides yet another opportunity for me to compile insane lists, I'll let it pass . As with the movies, any of the top 10 (or indeed any of the 20) could feasibly be No.1, but it's so hard to decide really...

01 The Velvet Underground - The Velvet Underground & Nico
02 Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - The Boatman's Call
03 British Sea Power - The Decline of British Sea Power
04 The Smiths - The Smiths
05 Radiohead - OK Computer
06 Patti Smith - Horses
07 Serge Gainsbourg - L'Histoire de Melody Nelson
08 Lou Reed - New York
09 Johnny Cash - At Folsom Prison
10 The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds
11 Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures
12 Bruce Springsteen - Born To Run
13 Meat Loaf - Bat Out Of Hell
14 Judy Garland - At Carnegie Hall
15 David Bowie - Low
16 Slayer - Reign In Blood
17 Black Sabbath - Paranoid
18 Mercury Rev - Deserter's Songs
19 R.E.M. - Automatic For The People
20 Opeth - Blackwater Park

Honorable Mentions:

Antony & The Johnsons - I Am A Bird Now

The Rolling Stones - Let It Bleed
Rufus Wainwright - Want One
Pixies - Trompe Le Monde
Judas Priest - Unleashed In The East

EDIT: How could I have forgotten?

Sex Pistols - Never Mind The Bollocks

I'm not 100% happy with it, but I don't think I'm ever going to be, so this will do!

Hurrah for I ___ Blood! What do you reckon to Carcass, they're the only true Death Metal band that I really enjoy. Going to see Arch Enemy next year though (alongside the mighty Opeth) =).

EDIT: Oh, saw CoB last year. Didn't do it for me live unfortunately, but rather fun on record.

Carcass is pretty good though they are a bit Grindcore as well as Death Metal. I don't think CoB is that great live either, but they make some great songs.

I can't believe I left Unknown Pleasures at a measley number 11 actually, that should be so much higher. That and The Velvet Underground & Nico are the two most important rock albums ever released, in my opinion.

I haven't heard the new British Sea Power yet, but am extremely glad it's good . I got into them through the second album. I instantly fell in love with it, but nowadays I find it a little thin (but still a cracking selection of songs mind!). The first album however gets better every time I listen to it, and is one of the few albums on which the second half is better I think! Still not checked out Magazine yet, bar the rendition of 'Song From Under The Floorboards' that Morrissey give us last year; definitely a Fopp trip on the cards before I head back off to uni, I think. Can never decide which CUre album's my favourite, although I do like the other two of that 'trilogy'; Pornography itself is a little like Ocean Rain for me: some people are too harsh on it, and some people too praiseworthy. Franz near the top takes me back to when I used to play that album loads, and seeing them just perform that album's material. Haven't listened to that in ages!

GrooveBean: Is that Sonic Youth one a good 'un, then? Slowly working my way through them at the moment; I love Goo to bits.

Well, I definitely enjoy it. But, then again, I can't say I've ever heard anything bad by them.

Sister is pretty good too, if you've not heard it.

I forgot to include The Velvet Underground & Nico in my honorable mentions, and Link's post reminded me that I left Favourite Worst Nightmare out...

I always found Experimental, Jet Set.. to be the worst Sonic Youth album, although that may have something to do with the fact that I prefer their noise rock in Goo and Evol to the punk in Daydream Nation et al.

EDIT - Hope of the States' first album was left out too, so hard to narrow it down to just twenty!
