heh ya, that equates to something like 14 consecutive years on the chart. Well deserved.

My favourite is 'the great gig in the sky'. Beautiful, yet wordless, representation of death.

Time is also amazing.
I love the interviews with people in the background....

"Legend" by Bob Marley is by far one of the best albums I've heard. All of the songs have deep meaning and such great sound. "One love, one heart... let's get together and feel all right"

"Forty Licks" by The Rolling Stones. Two records of 40 years' worth of great rock n' roll. A classic favorite and an impressive display of both real hits and stuff under the radar as well. "I'll never be your beast of burden/All I want is for you to make love to me"

"Little Plastic Castle" by Ani DiFranco. Lyrics that anyone can relate to woven into a web of aggression, depression, and finding some semblance of love in a hateful world. And the poetry on that album is nothing short of terrific. "Sitting in my glass house while your ghost is sleeping down the hall/watching the little birds fly kamikaze missions into the walls"

Bob Marley- Legend (and I am no saying that because I am Jamaican. But because it really is a phenomenal album)

LadyGaga- The Fame/Fame Monster (since FM is just an EP)-- let me just say, the reason why this album made it on my list, is because honestly the literary genius of Stephani's music has literally changed the world. Dramatically! Unlike any female pop artist in HISTORY.

Mozart- Requiem --I am maybe saying this because I am Catholic. But all my life growing up, I have been taught how much this man's music has created a huge impact on the Holy Roman Catholic church and lets face it, what IS bigger than the catholic church? Certainly not the bloody queen. (sorry Anglicans xDD )
Besides, some Requiem composure are used by both churches and the tenor in Lacrymosa is like nothing the world has ever heard. Even KANYE WEST couldn't resist

short list of other excellent albums... a little biased toward more modern music from western culture, but meh, can't be helped.

VAST - visual audio sensory theatre (sentimental favourite, but brilliant nonetheless)
Jeff buckley - Grace
Smashing Pumpkins - mellon collie and the infiinte sadness
Tool - Ænima
Rage against the machine - self titled
U2 - The joshua tree
radiohead - .... i could name any album here, but i'll go with my favourite, Kid A.
nine inch nails - the fragile
the red hot chili peppers - blood sugar sex magik
the beach boys - pet sounds

You could argue for days about the best Beatles album. Let's just say every album they ever did was a trend setting masterpiece.
