Going with the "only list one album by each band" thing here so that this list doesn't turn into the discography of Smashing Pumpkins.

In alphabetical order to avoid heated discussions in the vein of "WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU PREFER OINGO BOINGO TO RADIOHEAD?!? HERESYYY":

Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd
Fantastic Planet - Failure
Going Blank Again - Ride
Loveless - My Bloody Valentine
Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness - Smashing Pumpkins
Metal Machine Music - Lou Reed
Ocean Rain - Echo & the Bunnymen
OK Computer - Radiohead
Only a Lad - Oingo Boingo
Transistor - 311

Honorable mentions: In the Court of the Crimson King, Siamese Dream, Peace Sells... But Who's Buying?, Nevermind, FNM's The Real Thing, Lush's Spooky
 
I almost do't know if I should post. There's no pop music on anyone else's list. :P However, since I posted in the last thread my musical tastes and experiences have evolved, you could say. I've heard quite a bit more older music and can make a more accurate judgement.

1) The Fame / The Fame Monster - Lady Gaga
2) Fallen - Evanescence
3) Confessions on a Dance Floor - Madonna
4) The Open Door - Evanescence
5) 21 - Adele
6) Janet Jackson's Rythm Nation 1814 - Janet Jackson
7) Teenage Dream - Katy Perry
8) Thriller - Michael Jackson
9) True Blue - Madonna
10) Love Is Dead - Kerli

Honorable mention:
Born This Way - Lady Gaga. We've heard two AMAZING songs and two remixes of other songs. It's definately shaping up to be the best pop album of the year. Last year I predicted that Teenage Dream by Katy Perry would have amazingly successful songs, and now it's been classed with Rythm Nation, Bad, Whitney, Saturday Night Fever, Faith, and Mariah Carey. I even put in the previous thread the exact thing I put for Born This Way, that it was "shaping up to be an amazing album." I have no doubt that Born This Way will far outshine any other album released in 2011.

Hot Fuss - The Killers
Animal + Cannibal - Ke$ha
Good Girl Gone Bad: Reloaded - Rihanna
Bad - Michael Jackson
Like A Virgin - Madonna. This has two of my favorite songs in ever, "Into The Groove" and "Dress You Up."


Yeah. I'm like addicted to 80's pop music and it's modern descendents like Gaga, there are probably 7 more 80's Madonna, MJ, etc albums in my #11-#20.
 
I am going to try. But I can't guarantee success. This is my current top 10 in rotation:

1. Pink Floyd - The Final Cut
2. Porcupine Tree - In Absentia
3. Brand New - The Devil and God are Raging Inside Me
4. Nine Inch Nails - Downward Spiral
5. Opeth - Blackwater Park
6. Nevermore - Dead Heart In a Dead World
7. Warrel Dane - Praises to the War Machine
8. Orphaned Land - Never Ending Way of OrwARRIOR
9. Rush - 2112
10. Ghost - Opus Eponymous

Honorable mentions atm:

Eluveitie - pretty much everything except Spirit
Pain of Salvation - Road Salt One
Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory/Meteora
Paradise Lost - Symbol of Life
Brand New - Deja Entendu
Faith No More - Album of the Year
Blackfield - Welcome to my DNA
Steven Wilson - Insurgentes
Rush - Moving Pictures

2) Keeper of the Seven Keys, Part 2 - Helloween
3) Master of Puppets - Metallica
4) Chapter V - HammerFall
5) Inhuman Rampage - DragonForce
6) Piece of Mind - Iron Maiden
7) Angels Fall First - Nightwish
8) The Frozen Tears of Angels - Rhapsody of Fire
9) City of Evil - Avenged Sevenfold
10) The Black Parade - My Chemical Romance (lul only non-metal album there)

This is on my list of favorite albums, and you guys are arguing over what genre A7X is?
 
I'll try and do this I guess, but it will probably be crazy different next week, since I'm on a binge of new music and my taste shifts a lot anyway.

More or less following Karkat's formatting because I suck at ordering things:

Absolution - Muse
First Impressions of Earth - The Strokes
Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga - Spoon (by the way, thanks to whoever recommended this band to me, because they're awesome)
Grow Up and Blow Away - Metric
Hail to the Thief - Radiohead
Lungs - Florence + the Machine
A Rush of Blood to the Head - Coldplay
Silent Alarm - Bloc Party
Swoon - Silversun Pickups
Treats - Sleigh Bells

Honorable mentions:
Crash Kings - Crash Kings
The Fame Monster - Lady Gaga
In Rainbows/The Bends - Radiohead
Kill the Moonlight - Spoon
Mine is Yours - Cold War Kids
Room on Fire - The Strokes
Showbiz - Muse

But hey, I had a hard enough time trying to decide which honorable mentions to, well you know...mention. And I will look at this in a month and wonder what I was on.

Details - Frou Frou
Water Forest - Rurutia
Ultra Blue - Utada Hikaru
The World is Bound With Secret Knots - Noe Venable
Century Child - Nightwish
Mother Earth - Within Temptation
Enchant - Emilie Autumn
Signs of Life - Poets of the Fall
Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd
Origin of Symmetry - Muse

In a rough kind of order.

If I didn't think it silly, there would probably be three Rurutia albums in there, and they'd all be close to the top. Other than that this wasn't that hard, oddly enough.
 
As of last night my list has changed itself.
