To some extent it depends on what you mean by music albums; and it would be difficult to select just 10 when I listen to such a wide variety. However, just to be sociable, I have looked around my music racks, but some of it perhaps isn't exactly what you mean by albums.
Top of the list, Lutolawski's Cello Concerto (but everbody else hates it).
Something by Stravinsky, perhaps Petruska.
Messiaen's Turangallia Symphony.
Something by Maxwell Davies, perhaps his Trumpet Concerto.
Das Lied von der Erde, Mahler.
The Sea Symphony, Vaughan Williams.
On a lighter note.
Road to St. Ives, John Surman.
City to City, Gerry Rafferty.
Rapture, Anita Baker.
Naked Flame, Tim Wheater.
If I am allowed something extra in this lighter section. Something by Acker Bilk. But I have left out so many from both sections.
Not sure what this choice says about me! |

Only 10? That's tough.
Here's mine for today (ask me again tomorrow and the list may be different!)...
Layla and Other Assorted Lovesongs - Derek & the Dominos
Us - Peter Gabriel
Seconds Out - Genesis
1200 Curfews - Indigo Girls
Plastic Ono Band - John Lennon
Misplaced Childhood - Marillion
Fumbling Towards Ecstasy - Sarah McLachlan
The Wall - Pink Floyd
Achtung Baby - U2
Quadrophenia - The Who
Dave P.
P.s. the Indigo Girls album includes a live version of the song "World Falls" which is where my sig line comes from.

Despite my eclectic taste in music my top ten seems to be mostly folky. PMD - Geoff?! - can't remember that one but do remember Orkney Wedding with Sunrise.... I was living in Stromness at the time and remember the score being pushed under my nose (the bit with the bagpipes) and a laughing group of us ending up at eh Braes (however the way it looked on the score and the way it sounded were completely different!)  . So, in no order but..
1. Songs from the Wood - Jethro Tull
2. Wassail - John Kirkpatrick er al.
3. Christmas Album - Jethro Tull
4. Leige and Lief - fairport Convention
5. Call of the Sea Witch - Gjallahorn
6. Ca' Nos - Fernhill
7. Live at the Point - Christy Moore
8. Harvest Storm - Altan
9. Traditional Songs of Wales - Swsann George
10. Combo disc of early Fairport Convention & Steeleye Span
Narrowly missed : The Pogues - which I love and New Model Army

This is a toughy, trying to narrow them down! I tend to go for compilations as they tend to have the songs I like most but there are some iconic albums out there. What I listen to depends on my mood, the occasion, the company and whether I'm in the mood for singing my heart out (usually when I've got the house to myself, I wouldn't inflict that on anyone  )
So in no particular order:
Bon Jovi - Keep the Faith
Bon Jovi - These Days
Bob Dylan - The Best of Bob Dylan
Queen - Greatest Hits II
Beach Boys - Pet Sounds
REM - Automatic for the People
Simon & Garfunkel - Bridge over Troubled Water
Elton John - Elton John's Greatest Hits 1970-2002
James Blunt - Back to Bedlam
James Blunt - All the Lost Souls

I've not heard of them before, has anyone else?

I've not heard of them before, has anyone else? | I remember a great song called "Driver's seat" by them that I think was a minor hit for them, but don't no any other tracks. |

I love so many styles of music over a timespan over 50 years (which is longer than I've been on the planet!) but just a few off the top of my head:
Graceland- Paul Simon
Songs for swinging lovers- Frank Sinatra
What's going on- Marvin Gaye
Midnight believer- BB King
Come on come on- Mary Chapin Carpenter
Sgt Pepper- Beatles
Rapture- Anita Baker
Shades- JJ Cale
Dusty in Memphis- Dusty Springfield
Tambourine- Tift Merritt
I often play compilations of artists/various artists so the best songs are heard together, so a sample of 10 of these:
Peggy Lee
Aretha Franklin
Bonnie Raitt
Temptations
Jackson Browne
Eagles
Toots + Maytals
Linda Rondstadt
Stevie Nicks
Eric Clapton |

In no particular order:
Blood on the tracks – Bob Dylan
Between the lines – Janis Ian
Songs of Leonard Cohen – Leonard Cohen (obviously!)
Mock Tudor – Richard Thompson (glad to see badgerwatcher is another RT fan!)
Soul Journey – Gillian Welch
Blue Horse - Be Good Tanyas (could have chosen either of their other two albums)
Déjà vu – Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young
Track Record – Joan Armatrading (btw, brilliant name for a ‘greatest hits’ album!)
Symphony no. 41 in C Major (“Jupiter”) – Mozart
Symphony no. 5 in C Minor – Beethoven
I’m sure I’d come up with a different list if you asked me another time (sometimes I might have listed 10 Richard Thompson albums!). But they are mainly albums that have stood the test of time, ones that I bought years ago and still love listening to now. The classical ones obviously are symphonies rather than albums – I’d have liked to add another classical choice to more fairly reflect my listening tastes, but just couldn’t omit any of the other albums. |
