Always a tough format to pick just 10, but here goes:
But there's an awful lot that I would regret leaving behind.

Silicon soul - staring into space
Jazzanova - In between
Deep dish - junk science

10 times the first and last self-titled album of our school punk band "Auswurph" ! The bass had one string. The guitar 5, on a good day, on all other days more 3 to 4. The drums were stolen here and there -ask me how I know, I was the drummer - and our frontman was a certified psycho. No really, he was. Several stays in the psychiatry. I think there weren't even 10 cd's made... I can't remember exactly. Now as I think of it I can't remember anything of that time in detail, all a bit blurry, but one thing I can remember: it was the best album anyone had made since the invention of noise.
There are some tragic omissions here but i think i could make do with these 10.

List just off the top of my head. Would be different if I thought about it longer.
One look at my album collection tells me that that is not conceivable.
Without giving it tons of thought:

Dear - Keaton Henson
So Long Forever - Palace
High Violet - The National
Trouble Will Find Me - The National
Romantic Works - Keaton Henson

Looking through my collection here, ten is a lot easier that just one. In no particular order:
(Ask me again next week, or next month, and my list will probably change).
Electric Light Orchestra - Time
There's gotta be dozens of us that'd pick Time over Out Of The Blue or A New World Record.
Yes, Close To The Edge. This album has two of Yes's best songs. This album has three songs. Mostly filled with Beck-grade nonsense, which does not prevent then from being frisson engines. If you wish "Roundabout" was just the way the intro sounds, that's the worst song on this album, "And You And I." It's really good. Honorable mention to Soft Machine's Third, which is four songs on four sides, and nearly made it in simply for "Out-Bloody-Rageous."
Deftones, Koi No Yokan. This is everything they were trying to do from self-titled through Diamond Eyes. Clean, spacious, structured, loud as hell. Chino doesn't get to scream like in "Knife Party," but the sheer force is evident in "Entombed." No idea how they fucked up Gore right after this.
Stepdad, Wildlife Pop. You need something simple and upbeat, sometimes, and it might as well be self-aware goofy modernism like "Show Me Your Blood." Honorable mention to The Cinematics' A Strange Education.
Depeche Mode, 101. A live album summarizing (and energizing) all the work they did before becoming the band that recorded Violator. I would never pick that album for this. It's not bad, but it's genuinely about average for their catalog. A few on either side of it are much better. Before that or after that... ehhhh.
Mew, Frengers. Though it might be redundant. My brain already plays these songs at random.
My Mourning Jacket, Z. Evocative psychedelic rock, trending toward hypnogogia. Honorable mention to Band Of Horses, whom I routinely mix up with this band.
Tame Impala, Currents. Outright hypnogic pop. Somewhat less in the "sad dad band" shame bucket than Mew or My Mourning Jacket.
The Flaming Lips, At War With The Mystics. Someone wrote of "Silver Trembling Hands" that Flaming Lips songs work when they're on a knife-edge between paranoia and bliss. But yeah, psychedelic rock trending toward hypnogogia.
The Moody Blues, This Is The Moody Blues. Any other band I'd feel guilty for picking a compilation. (Maybe not Queen.) They had thirty-plus years of great songs, album after album, but hoo boy were those albums spottu. Everything except Days Of Future Passed has an even mix of hits and duds. Just gimme "Question" and "Lovely To See You" on the same CD.
Slayer, Reign In Blood. Opens with a scream for the victims of the Holocaust. Half an hour later Satan conquers the earth. Good fun.
Off the top of my head and in no particular order:
If I thought about it longer, I'd probably end up with a more varied list as far as genre.
Bro I honestly can't even name 10 albums. I've never liked listening to albums because after the singles are over most of the songs suck imo. I basically have one playlist and it's just all of my favorite songs from every genre mixed into one thing, and it's basically the only thing I listen to lol.
I can name a lot more than 10 albums, but yes in some cases many of the songs are not interesting. In some extreme cases I have regretted not just buying the single instead.
There are a few albums, though, where I like every single song. But I couldn't be constrained to just them for my whole life, as that would exclude some really good stuff.
Same! I think the only album that I listened to and thoroughly enjoyed every song was Adele’s 25.
Get some weed and put on dark side of the moon.
The album is an art form. It's just one that the modern media industry has destroyed.
None? At that point, I'd just stop listening to music.
I can't play albums as it is, because hearing the same artist, the same songs, in the same order every time drives me crazy
What kinda music have you listened to? Bands/artists who compose albums with a central concept and/or sound are a lot easier for me to listen to than albums that are collections of unconnected songs. For an example, Devin Townsend's Ziltoid the Omniscient, and Empath, or King Gizzard's PetroDragonic Apocalypse are way more listenable as a full album than some pop-music album designed to hit the top charts with maximum radio/streamablility.
