I'd prolly have to say Skylarking is in the top 10 easily. Oddly enough, it was a disappointment when I first bought it, expecting something that would sound like Drums And Wires (the first XTC album I heard - at a party). But after spending a "coming-down" with this CD, I was in love with it. It was in the player after a night of partying and the opening strains of Summer's Cauldron just mesmerized me. Up to that point, I wasn't at all crazy about it - I had even offered to give it away to one guy.

The Beatles' Abbey Road is definitely in the top 5. So is Pink Floyd Dark Side Of The Moon. Rush Moving Pictures was a monumental album in my life; up to that point I could take or leave them. Robert Plant Principle Of Moments still gets spins regularly, and even if it didn't its an album I played to death when it came out - I wore out 2 cassettes before I got it on CD. Which leads us to numero uno: Led Zeppelin Houses Of The Holy. LZ4 gets high praise and rightfully so, but HotH is everything that was ever good about LZ rolled into one album. Its LZ's best album ever IMO.
