Hmmm...I can't believe that no one else named a couple of my picks!

Rocks - Aerosmith, it just lives up to the title. Kicks butt and takes names later!

Toys In The Attic - Aerosmith, from the title track all the way to "You See Me Cryin'" it's just awesome

Rumours - Fleetwood Mac those of you who chose it know.

AC/DC - Highway to Hell

Aerosmith - Pump - Best of their post-rehab albums.

Motley Crue - Too Fast For Love - It's raw, but, that's why it rocks!

Alanis Morisette - Jagged Little Pill - Not my usual style of music, but, it's good!

I know that's not ten, but, these are the ones that come to my mind.

Hardly any cheating!

In my opinion I have not found a perfect album. Every album has its own flaws. So in that sense I doubt there will ever be a “perfect” album, just because the fact that there is no such thing as perfect when it comes to albums. There will always be room for improvement, which I love. Just the fact that I know that a band has room to become better is why I love my favorite bands. So basically if I would find a perfect album I would be kind of disappointed because I know that this is the best the band will be. I don’t know though that’s just my opinion.

Rumours - Fleetwood Mac
Return of Saturn - No Doubt
Thriller - Michael Jackson
Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd
By the Way - Red Hot Chili Peppers
A Rush of Blood to the Head - Coldplay
The College Dropout - Kanye West
Version 2.0 - Garbage
Jagged Little Pill - Alanis Morissette
American Idiot - Green Day

In no particular order:

Real Life - Evermore
Every Good Boy Deserves Favour - Moody Blues
Little Cloud - The Whitlams
Dreams - Evermore
Parachutes - Coldplay
Rattle and Hum - U2
Oddysey Number 5 - Powderfinger
How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb - U2
Torch the Moon - The Whitlams
Eyes Open - Snow Patrol

10 very good albums -

Brilliant Trees - David Sylvian
Heaven or Las Vegas - Cocteau Twins
Infected - the The
Secondhand Daylight - Magazine
Pretzel Logic - Steely Dan
Reveal - R.E.M.
Woodface - Crowded House
Walk Across the Rooftops - the Blue Nile
Decline of British Sea Power - British Sea Power
Argus - Wishbone Ash

I've done bit of thinking about this - not just favorites of mine, but actual "perfect" albums. "Abbey Road" almost made it, but then I remembered "Octopus' Garden".....

Sergeant Pepper
Who's Next
Dark Side of the Moon
Leige and Leif (Fairport Convention)
Led Zepplin IV
Streetlights (Bonnie Raitt)
Graceland
Northwest Passage (Stan Rogers)
Desperado (The Eagles)
Copperhead Road (Steve Earle)

To my mind, all of these albums have a couple of things in common - not just "no bad songs", but also a feeling of coherence, a "built" character. The songs are not just thrown together in random order, but hold together as a thematic whole.

I'm not surprised to see Dark Side of the Moon in here so often, from people with obviously very different musical tastes - it really is something special.

Highway 61 Revisited - Dylan
Debut - Bjork
Violent Femmes - Violent Femmes
Rid of me - P J Harvey
The Smiths - Queen is Dead
Leonard Cohen - Songs From a Room
Leonard Cohen - New Skin for the old Ceremony
Pixies - Doolittle
The Blackeyed Susans - Welcome Stranger
Ivor Cutler - Jammy Smears
