I don't know if we're supposed to PM it? But I didn't see that, so I'm just putting it here. Kinda lame/predictable choices. I cut out a lot of jazz albums and VU, because I'd be lying if I said I liked them more. And I wanted to keep it down to 10--it's hard enough to decide on that as it is. (And yeah, I hate Beefheart.)

1. The Beatles – Revolver
2. Tim Buckley – Happy Sad
3. The Beatles – Magical Mystery Tour
4. Thelonious Monk – Monk’s Dream
5. The Doors – The Doors
6. The Beatles – Rubber Soul
7. Van Morrisson – Astral Weeks
8. Jefferson Airplane – Volunteers
9. Crosby, Stills & Nash – s/t
10. Led Zeppelin – II

7. The Velvet Underground and Nico - VU & Nico
8. Abbey Road - The Beatles

10. Smiley Smile - The Beach Boys
11. Revolver - The Beatles
12. Song Cycle - Van Dyke Parks
13. Waiting For the Sun - The Doors
14. Rubber Soul - The Beatles

Magical Mystery Tour was my favorite for a really long time. But Revolver passed it up recently, so I'm glad someone put it at the top.

It almost makes up for Incense & Peppermints making the list. :p
