For the most part in order. When I like a band, I really like it, so I can't stop myself from listing them multiple times.

I'm not sure if these were the greatest ever made but they are surely great ones...
David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust
The Clash - London Calling
REM - Life's Rich Pageant
T Rex - Electric Warrior
Television - Marquee Moon
The The - Soul Mining
U2 - October
Van Morrison - Moondance
XTC - Black Sea
Bob Marley - Legend

Aerosmith - Permanent Vacation
U2 - The Joshua Tree
Beach Boys - Pet Sounds
Metallica - Master of Puppets
Def Leppard - Hysteria
Boston - Third Stage
Alice in Chains - Facelift
Michael Jackson - Thriller
Motley Crue - Dr. Feelgood
Godsmack - Godsmack

I just became good friends with MERG. Whoever he is.

Great call on the Talking Heads album Chicken. That was one of my favorites.

You ain't so bad yourself, Mr. Hysteria. A friend of mine met Def Leppard.

The whole band.

At Wal-Mart.

Regarding Stop Making Sense I almost left it off as it's a live album, and that's kind of cheating...they can play all of their best material from any point in their career, so it's not like a normal album, which usually just encapsulates about a year's worth of songwriting.

But it's just so. Effing. Great.

If I chose to leave it out, I would have slipped More Songs About Buildings and Food into its place. The best of the studio Heads, I think, though all of them are very good.

I unfortunately don't have any Talking Heads albums, but I've seen David Byrne's movie a couple times, forgot what it was called. He is the master of deadpan.

Chicken Brutus...MERG is me. So...why are we friends?

Adam...David Byrne's movie is True Stories.

No particular order:

1. Johnny Cash-Folsom Prsion Recordings
2. Roxette-Joyride
3. T-Rex-Electric Warrior
4. The Smiths-The Queen is Dead
5. Depeche Mode-Some Great Reward
6. Muse-Black Holes & Revelations
7. Queens of the Stone Age-Songs for the Deaf
8. Pearl Jam-Ten
9. John Lennon-Double Fantasy
10. The Blues Brothers-Original Soundtrack Recording

Doesn't the inclusion of Double Fantasy technically turn your list into a Top 9 1/2?

EDIT:
Also...
10. The Blues Brothers-Original Soundtrack Recording
