Needs Bowie but otherwise perfect...
Damn forgot Bowie. I like the mid-late 70's.
Mostly replying as a personal challenge; I doubt anyone cares about my opinion. I think this is a hard but interesting challenge and I could probably spend a lifetime perfecting it, but this is my unadulterated first pass:
Fuck. How do you make a list like this without regretting every decision you made?!
Off the top of my head...
The Presidents of the United States of America - The Presidents of the United States of America
Stan Ridgway - The Big Heat
The Rainmakers - Flirting with the Universe
XTC - Black Sea
Morphine - Good
Bloodhound Gang - Hooray for Boobies
Lloyd Cole and the Commotions - Rattlesnakes
The Mattoid - Great Lovers
Frank Zappa - Joe's Garage
Was (Not Was) - What Up Dog?
...or something like that...
I did not expect to find bloodhound gang on any of these lists.
Can't argue with it much. Jimmy Pop is a dumb white guy. Not old or new, but middle school. Fifth grade like junior high.
Weird Al, all of them.
I'm autistic, pick any ten albums and they will end up being my favourite albums as I continue to listen to them and they become my familiar.
Gemini Syndrome - Memento Mori
Gemini Syndrome - Lux
The Beatles - One
Queen - Greatest Hits
Queen - Greatest Hits II
Aerosmith - Greatest Hits
Simon & Garfunkel - Greatest Hits
NWA - Greatest Hits
Snoop Dogg - Doggystyle
Eminem - Curtain Call: The Hits
311 - Grassroots
Tool - Undertow
Meshuggah - Obzen

Aesop Rock - Bazooka Tooth
Animals as Leaders - The Joy of Motion
Dr. Dre - 2001
Necrophagist - Onset of Putrefaction
Paul Oakenfold - Transport
First Fragment - Gloire Eternelle
Bazooka Tooth over all of aes' other work?
Controversial I know. There was a point where I listened to that album everyday at work for months. Could be swapped for Hail Mary Mallon - The Bestiary
Geez that's tough. Let's see if I can do 10:
Difficult...
Otis Redding - Otis Blue Marvin Gaye - What’s Going On Michael Jackson - Off the Wall James Booker - Classified The Meters – Rejuvenation Darondo - Listen to My Song James Brown - Live at the Apollo Dr. Dre - The Chronic Janelle Monae - ArchAndroid Anderson .Paak - Malibu
Hell yeah
I think being able to draw a line from your classic albums to your modern hits is hella cool. Your list makes a lot of sense.
I anticipate a metric ton of "best of" albums, but I'll give it try avoiding that. In no particular order:
Linda Ronstadt - What’s New (that will throw a few folks off the trail)
Not really, your tastes are very similar to mine. Although "What's New" was just a gateway drug and now my music library is full of albums by Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald, Anita O'Day, Carmen McRae, Joao Gilberto, Frank Sinatra and more.
Number one by far: Perfect Circle Thirteenth step.
The rest are in the order I think of them off the top of my head:
System of a down: Toxicity and Mezmotize
Tool Aenema
Smashing pumpkins: Melon Collie
CCRs Greatest Hits
Pink Floyd: Echos
Metallica S&M
Live Throwing Cooper
Weezer
In no order:
No order
Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti
Tool - 10,000 Days
Rush - Test for Echo
Metallica - Metallica
Rush - Clockwork Angels
Michael Jackson - HIStory
BIGBANG - MADE
[bodyendtag] - Information Superhighway
Kumi Koda - BEST 2000-2020
A Perfect Circle - Mer de Noms
Wow, a fan of the later Rush albums! I also dug those. It's always felt like unpopular opinion for me to tell anyone, even other Rush fans, "I looove Presto." (I know that's not "later" Rush, but still.)
I'll hate myself in a couple weeks for this selection because my taste varies week-to-week, but right now it'd be:
Devin Townsend: Ziltoid the Omniscient, Empath
Gojira: From Mars to Sirius, Magma
The Ocean: Phanerozoic I, Phanerozoic II (can I count these as one album?)
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard: PetroDragonic Apocalypse; or, Dawn of Eternal Night: An Annihilation of Planet Earth the Beginning of Merciless Damnation (I think they were going for a record for the longest album title ever).
Voivod: The Outer Limits
Mastodon: Leviathan and Crack the Skye
If Phanerozoic I and II count as a single album, then I'd ask if I can leave the last one open to be filled by a single random studio album of an artist of my choosing, replaced weekly/monthly.
Edit: removed one because I miscounted.
Ziltoid and Empath.... hello, friend :)
AC/DC - If You Want Blood
Nirvana - Nevermind
Fleetwood Mac - Rumors
Queens of the Stone Age - Rated R
Cheap Trick - Live at Budokan
REO Speedwagon - Live, You Get What You Play For
Head East - Flat as a Pancake
Foghat Live
Kyus - Welcome to Sky Valley
Albert Collins - Ice Pickin'
I reckon these would keep me going for a good old time.
This question gives me anxiety. Would learn to play guitar I guess.
I think I'd be pretty happy if I had these albums in a desert island scenario... especially if I could do some sampling/remixing 😜
In no order:
Ugh this is so tough!
Green Day - 21st Century Breakdown
Jethro Tull - A Passion Play
Pink Floyd - Animals
Paramore - Brand New Eyes
Stone Temple Pilots - Shangri-LA DEE DA
Yes - Drama
Yellowcard - Yellowcard
My Chemical Romance - The Black Parade
Mariya Takeuchi - Love Songs (I've never actually listened to this in full but I love "September" off this album)
Eminem - The Marshall Mathers LP (Same as above, I love "Stan" but have never actually listened to this in full, I picked the last two because I wanted some non-rock picks but I'm not much of an album guy in genres that aren't rock.)
Trivium - in waves
Lorna shore - the pain remains
Metallica - master of puppets
Sum 41 - does this look infected
Arch enemy - rise of the tyrant
