I have pondered what albums I would place as the best. Here are some of what I think make for excellent listening. What do you think would be on the top 20 list of all time?

Graceland
Thriller
Like a Virgin
Bridge over Troubled Waters
Yellow Brick Road
She's so Unusual
Out of Time
Violator

The Kinks - Something Else / 1967
The Kinks - The Kinks Are The Village Green Preservation Society / 1968
The Kinks - Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire) 1969

Bob Dylan - Bringing It All Back Home / 1965
Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited / 1965
Bob Dylan - Blonde On Blonde / 1966

It's kinda interesting that these were released consecutively by both artists. Truly both of their heydays. I expect arguments, though.

The debut album from The Pretenders is definately one of the best.
