Nova Mob - the Last Days of Pompeii
concept album involving Pompeii, Warner Von Braun and more. julie's favorite as well.
PM Dawn - Dearest Christian, I'm So Very Sorry for Bringing You Here. Love, Dad
their best work. the last song Untitled is their best song.
Husker Du - New Day Rising
not as ambitious as Zen Arcade, but tighter. and Celebrated Summer is Bob's best Husker song.
Wilco - Sky Blue Sky
their most accesible album. the first four songs are a blue print for great music.
REM - Chronic Town
an ep, my favorite song Boxcars (Carnival of Sorts) from anyone - ever.
Dumptruck - For the Country
greatly underated band. a sad, pretty, amazing album. the title track is worth the price of admission.
Throwing Muses - the Real Ramona
another shorter album. great, punchy songs throughout. Hook In Her Head is stunning.
Phish - Rift
the best of all their studio albums. a cohesive set. make syou want to seek out the live albums.
Thanks To Gravity - Ode to Joy
New Hampshire band. the best of an amazing body of work.
Camper van Beethoven - Key Lime Pie
from start to finish a joy. i keep discovering new favorites on here.
the Swell Season : Strict Joy
I had to pick just one from them. a live disc, a studio disc, a dvd. amazing and glorius. and sprawling.
Tanya Donelly : beautysleep
a very pretty album. very serious, adult in the best sense. her voice is drop dead stunning.
firehose : FromOhio
always listen to this album start to finish. they hit full stride on this one. and the D. Boone tribute Riddle of the 80's is a must have.
Pink Floyd : Obscured By Clouds
I love the looseness of the album. the instrumentals combined with way underated songs. check Wot's, Uh the Deal.
Polyphonic Spree - Together We're Heavy.
a pure joy to listen to. had to go with their most cohesive album.

I guess they learned to mix more classic into the 2nd half of the show that I saw. I think they did, Close to the Edge, And You And I, Starship Troopers and The 6 Wives, at least..
One of my old poems extolling the band, Krazy
Camel-On Rainy Days-'82
Electric light
shines on phone, kitchen table, windowsill
bars on my windows
bars walk across the balcony
Electric light
shines on (shadows) the wet sidewalk, saplings
dark courtyard
dark silhouettes, buildings and trees
Electric light
streetlights stand among silhouettes
high sunset color flux
high tension wires glide along horizons
Electric light
shines on me, H to He
rainbows streaming from my soul
"Rainbows End" on the stereo
Deep orange-red at the edge of the world
lightens to cream through the pitch black trees
green
gray
sky-blue
purple, violet, midnight blues
hyper-charged city rats in violent homes, bars
and their metal contraptions
do not see this way
here's my clear
and that's why I listen to Camel
on rainy days

my list off the top of my head...sure I'll regret leaving someone off when I think of them later.
In no particular order but numbered so I don't lose count. Dates are from my foggy memory.
Nothing newer than 2007 since those have withstood my initial "love it" phase and at least kept my interest for 4 years. Older bands like the Beatles, I know mainly as great songs or greatest hits. Didn't really have a feel for any particular album of theirs, but love their work.
1. C,S,N&Y - 4 Way Street (1970)
2. Frampton Comes Alive (1976)
3. David Bowie Live (1974)
4. Fleetwood Mac - self titled (1975)
5. DMB - Under the Table and Dreaming (1994)
6. Live - Throwing Copper (1994)
7. Bob Welch - French Kiss (1977)
8. Aimee Mann - The Forgotten Arm (2005)
9. The New Pornographers - Challengers (2007)
10. Counting Crows - This Desert Life (1999)
11. Stone Temple Pilots - Core (1992)
12. Billy Bragg - Don't Try This at Home (1991)
13. Jefferson Starship - Spitfire (1977)
14. The Cars - self titled (1978)
15. Cheap Trick - at Budokan (1979)

Damn, there is some good stuff on this list. And Sarge, yeah, I recorded off Key Lime Pie from vinyl somewhat recently and wondered how I neglected this album for so long. Damn, it really is one of their best. Maybe it is because I was so used to their more raw albums like Telephone Free Landslide Victory, and the more polished albums were a bit harder for me to get into at the time, but it is a solid album from beginning to end. I also know that was the first album without Jonathan Segel, and I was a huge fan of his first solo album (Storytelling), so it might have had some play in it.
Wow, this is going to be hard.
1. Queen - Queen II - probably my favorite of their albums, though there are a lot to pick from. It's probably not their best, and definitely more fantasy oriented, but it holds a higher place from sentimentality than any of their others. And the fast pace lyrically of Fairy Feller's Master-Stroke is so much fun to sing along with. The White side strikes me as mostly melancholy which fits a certain mood, while the Black side is so much fun.
2. Kate Bush - The Dreaming - a bit uneven in spots, but again, going with mood over substance, this one has it in spades. Close runner up - Hounds Of Love
3. Frank Zappa and the Mothers Of Invention - Best of - It was rare at the time and owned by my sister, but it had a profound effect on my throughout the rest of my life. It's mostly "We're Only In It For The Money" and "Freak Out", but culls together the best from all the early stuff. I no longer have a copy, sadly, but have the other albums that made up this one. It also had the "dirty version" of Other People that doesn't seem to be on the CD version of "We're Only In It For The Money."
4. Pogues - If I Should Fall From Grace With God - just like with Kate Bush, I have two favorite albums that are back to back on the creation date, and could have gone either way (Rum, Sodomy And the Lash being the second one here). But I think this one, without the instrumentals weighing it down, is a bit more of an even album of the two.
5. The Loud Family - Plants and Birds and Rocks and Things - I really liked Game Theory, and when I heard they changed their name to this, I suspected I wouldn't like it much anymore. When I finally picked this up in a bargain bin, it quickly became my favorite thing Scott Miller ever did.
6. Pink Floyd - The Wall - probably had the biggest effect on my teenage years, especially coupled with Thomas Covenant.
7. Tom Waits - Matilda - It's a live bootleg album, and probably the one I embraced the most. He has a heap of great studio albums (Bone Machine might be my sentimental favorite of those), but this one had the best stuff from particularly Small Change and around that time. The best version of Xmas Card From A Hooker In Minneapolis as well as Better Off Without A Wife.
8. They Might Be Giants - Mink Car - This is so hard to pick as they have such a surprisingly solid catalog, at least to me, and they constantly surprise me. While several early albums have my favorite of their songs, there are enough clunkers that I have a hard time putting them as my favorite. This one is solid from beginning to end, and new favorites take the forefront frequently.
9. Depeche Mode - Black Celebration - During the phase I went through of liking velvety voices with smooth electronics, this is the one that still holds up for me. It's the darkest (go figure with the title), and again is solid from beginning to end. This also happens to be another artist with two especially good albums back to back, of which Some Great Reward is the other.
10. Eels - Daisies Of The Galaxy - While Beautiful Freak was an especially good album, and has much more diversity than this one, I'd have to say Daisies is where the sound just gelled. But I could easily have put Beautiful Freak as well as Electro-Shock Blues as the top and felt good about it.
11. Dead Milkmen - Bucky Fellini - I used to call them my favorite band, despite how technically bad they are. I embraced this as much as the velvety electronic music like Depeche, and loved the complete difference between the two. Bucky was my favorite, and used to love driving with friends screaming along to it with friends when we were bored and had no place really to drive to.
12. REM - Life's Rich Pageant - Hard to decide between this and Murmur, but this one is just solidly good and fits any occasion, whereas I think of Murmur as a good roadtrip album.
13. The Residents w/Snakefinger - Title In Limbo - Absolutely my favorite of their weirdness. I have a lot more albums by the Residents than I ever listen to, and I'm still not sure why I have so many, as I don't listen to them all that often. I guess it is the collector in me. Close runner up: Gingerbread Man.
14. Bob Geldof - The Happy Club - Hard to decide between this and Vegetarians Of Love. Several just better songs with a variety of styles, although VOL has some of the best songs of his career.
15. Rainmakers - Flirting With the Universe - A criminally overlooked band. So overlooked I forgot to include this in the initial run-through. But one of my favorites of all time, so much so, I had to bump Regina off of the list. And holy crap! It looks like they have a new album out after 14 years since their previous one. It must be Christmas.
16. (had been #15, but bumped to the cheat slot to include the up-and-comer) Regina Spektor - Far - This is a recent addition to my playlist. I have fallen hard for her recently and have been snatching up everything I can of hers. I'm just loving her lyrics and the songs get stuck in my head, and surprisingly are not unpleasantly so. This is probably the album that caught the quickest and still have several of my favorite songs. The ones that I once tolerated are softening on me, and I'm finding bits that I really like. I still haven't figured out all the lyrics to her albums, and am constantly surprised when I find yet another out.
Honorable mention: Elvis Costello -either Spike, King Of America or Juliet Letters, and Shonen Knife - Rock Animals. Oh, and Robyn Hitchcock - Eye.

Hmmm, in no order, no greatest hits and only one album per band...
Pink Floyd - Animals
(Dammit I think it just edges Dark Side Of The Moon and Wish You Were Here).
U2 - Joshua Tree
(Again, it just edges War out)
Led Zep - IV
(No competition - genius)
The Ruts - The Crack
(Early UK punk at its best)
The Cramps - Songs The Lord Taught Us
(What? You guys don't dig psychobilly?)
The Police - Regatta De Blanc
(Just squeaking out Outlandos D'Amour)
Deep Purple - Machine Head
(Highway Star, Smoke On The Water and oh my God yes, Lazy)
ZZ Top - Eliminator
(Just because it's the best party music)
The Dead Kennedys - Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables
(Jello Biafra for president)
AC/DC - Back In Black
(Hard to know a better driving album)
Thin Lizzy - Jailbreak
(Gotta love the Lizzy)
JJ Cale - Troubadour
(For those times you really REALLY need to chill out)
The Stranglers - Rattus Norvegicus
(I'm too old to pick more than three punk albums, and the Stranglers shade it over The Pistols and The Clash)
Def Leppard - On Through The Night
(Back from 1980, before they'd gone all big hair and over-produced soft arena rock, this has an electric raw edge to it).
Muddy Waters - Hard Again
(featuring Johnny Winter(!!!) I defy anyone breathing to be able to stop tapping their foot while listening to Mannish Boy)
And on the bench...
NWA - Straight Outta Compton
(My token rap album. It's real... the title track kicks ass all on its lonesome).
Oh Shit! Edit to add...
Talking Heads - Fear of Music
(What a HEADRUSH! I can't listen to Cities, Life During Wartime or Drugs without being taken back to the age of 15 and late night partays)
Pink Floyd - Animals

cags - Key Lime Pie is a bit uneven. but the pluses far outweigh the negatives.
Borderline is a great driving song and great singalong song.
All Her Favorite Fruit may be the best CVB song ever. got to see them play it live at Cactus Records in Houston. among my favorite songs ever.
Humid Press of Days - I have attempted to write something as good as this. you can judge if i ever have. great inspiration so i will keep trying.
Matchstick Men - inspired. among the greatest covers ever. love the violin.
Come on Darkness - perfect song to end the album.
now having laid it out - may have to reasses the album as a whole and replace it on my all time favorite. may be more misses than hits.

Well, the above list feels more like a mix of some favorites of mine as well as albums I think should be on the top 15 list. In either case, they are all ones that I've listened to over and over and over.

.'Tis dream to think that Reason can
Govern the reasoning creature, man.

I am Lazarus, come from the dead,
Come back to tell you all, I shall tell you all!
"All creation is a huge, ornate, imaginary, and unintended fiction; if it could be deciphered it would yield a single shocking word."
