I need at least 5 more spots.

If I tried to order these, it would take me hours, so…

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
The SMiLE Sessions by The Beach Boys/Brian Wilson Presents: SMiLE by Brian Wilson
(It doesn't really make sense to split these up, plus the only way I listen to it now is with them fused together in SMiLE 3971.)
Who's Next by The Who
Quadrophenia by The Who
Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd
The Wall by Pink Floyd
(Being such a Floyd fanatic, I'm almost tempted to list everything from Meddle to The Wall, but I don't have nearly enough spaces.)
2112 by Rush
Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Days of Future Passed by The Moody Blues
Jump by Van Dyke Parks

In no particular order

Is This It? – The Strokes
Modal Soul – Nujabes
Sunrise Projector – Tycho
Discovery – Daft Punk
Plastic Beach – Gorrilaz
Instant Pig – Clazziquai
Kaputt – Destroyer
Family Music – YMCK
Swan Songs – Epik High
Heavenly Star – Genki Rockets

I purposely tried avoiding OSTs so it was actually pretty hard to think of 10 in particular without using the same artists multiple times

In no particular order:

Beastmilk – Climax
Big Black – Songs About Fucking
Bjork – Post
David Bowie – Low
Death Grips – The Money Store
Fishmans – Long Season
The Knife – Silent Shout

Soft Cell – Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret
Sparks – No. 1 in Heaven

It's more of a "favorites" list than a "greatest all time" list.

Also, a few EPs. Not as highly rated as the albums, but here's 5:

Bis – This is Teen-C Power!

7. Live the Dream – Ramshackle Glory
8. Third – Portishead
9. People That Can Eat People Are the Luckiest People in the World – Andrew Jackson Jihad
10. The Glow Pt.2 – The Microphones

Lied ONLY SLIGHTLY to stop Radiohead from dominating the list.

The Offspring – Ixnay on the Hombre
The Prodigy – The Fat of the Land
