2. Blood Sugar Sex Magik - RHCP
3. Tres Hombres - ZZ Top
4. Pet Sounds - Beach Boys
5. Electric Ladyland - Jimi Hendrix
6. Revolver - The Beatles

I'm going to leave too many albums and artists I love off of this list.

1. Aja - Steely Dan
2. Abbey Road - The Beatles
3. All Things Must Pass - George Harrison
4. Houses of the Holy - Led Zeppelin
5. Songs from the Big Chair - Tears for Fears
6. Ah Via Musicom - Eric Johnson
7. Smokin' at the Half Note - Wes Montgomery
8. Fragile - Yes
9. Selling England by the Pound - Genesis
10. Operation Mindcrime - Queensryche

Had a hard time picking a single album from some of these artists. Also, only a single Jazz album which is criminal.

Can I include a compilation album? It's not a greatest hits. None of the songs except one were released on previous albums, but songs were made over course of career. I'm talking about SRV - The Sky Is Crying

About a year or so ago I got tagged in one of those 10 Albums That Shaped Your Life things on FB and here is what I put, in no order:

Toadies - Rubberneck
Modest Mouse - Lonesome Crowded West
Pearl Jam - Ten
Robert Earl Keen - No. 2 Live Diner
John Mayer Trio - Try!
Jason Isbell - Something More Than Free
Our Lady Peace - Happiness... Is Not A Fish That You Can Catch
Tom Petty - Wildflowers
Arcade Fire - The Suburbs
Cursive - The Ugly Organ

Some of them might not even necessarily be my favorite album by the artist but rather the timing was most shapely to my life and so solidly define parts of my life. I can't think of any I would immediately take of this list though.

No particular order, but every one of these albums I generally listen to from start to finish rather than dip in and out of for favorite songs. So I figure that qualifies the for this list.

Prince - Purple Rain - The live show in MN where Prince first played Purple the song Rain in concert (before the album release) is a youtube treasure. A lot of that live performance made it onto the album.

Led Zeppelin - IV - Get my classic rock on with this gem

The Beatles - Abbey Road - What an exit. The love you take is equal to the love you make.

Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon - From midnight laser shows to dark rooms and headphones, this album never disappoints.

Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here - A beautiful homage to a lost bandmate and brother, get you some THC in ya and some BOSE noise cancelling headphones and go for a ride.

Chris Isaak - Live at the Fillmore - I've seen Chris Isaak in concert half a dozen times and he is fantastic live. This album really captures the live experience very well.

Bjork - Vespertine Live - Sure Bjork is a space cadet but this album is a fantastic representation of her talent and ability to bring it live.

Eagles - Eagles Live - You all know every song by heart and all the little lyric change ups for this live album, and who hasn't belted out Seven Bridges Road on a drunken evening?

Fleetwood Mac - Rumors - The band may have been going through a lot of turmoil to get this album done, but man the result is classic. Dreams (Take 2) on the expanded album is a haunting gem.

Judy Garland - Judy at Carnegie Hall - Just an amazing live performance from a haunted talent. Not only is she in fantastic voice and at the top of her game, but the effusive crowd reaction is what makes this one of my favorite listens, start to finish.

Quite an eclectic list with some great live performances. I love artists whose live work improves on the studio version.

I like the off the board Isbell pick. I have that vinyl with the bonus 7" and it's a good one.

Also have that DBT and My Chemical Romance vinyls sitting behind me

In order (thanks to ranking engine.pubmeeple.com)

My criteria was my 10 favorite albums to listen to without skipping a single track.

1 Moving Pictures - Rush
2 Clockwork Angels - Rush
3 Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd
4 Hemispheres - Rush
5 Permanent Waves - Rush
6 Venus Isle - Eric Johnson
7 Tchaikovsky: Piano Concerto No. 1, Rachmaninov: Piano Concerto No. 2 - Van Cliburn
8 Duke - Genesis
9 Heavy Metal - soundtrack
10 Laut Gedacht - Silbermond

My top 2 spots went as expected, but the order of the rest was a bit of a surprise. I thought WYWH would be a little further down.

The Van Cliburn album contains his 1956 performance for the 1st International Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow, which he won. Both the Tchaikovsky 1 and Rach 2 have been recorded many times by many accomplished pianists (I'm particularly fond of Alice Sara Ott's Tchaikovsky 1 and Ashkenazy's Rach 2, too), but none as well or as beautifully as Van's.
