1. - Guns 'n Roses - Appetite for Destruction
2. - Violent Femmes - Violent Femmes
3. - The Cars - The Cars
4. - Black Sabbath - Paranoid
5. - Beatles - Abbey Road
6. - Deep Purple - Machine Head
7. - Led Zeppelin - Houses of the Holy
8. - The Clash - Sandanista
9. - Metallica - Master of Puppets
10. - The Police - Synchronicity

I intentionally excluded any greatest hits or other compilations. The main thing I wanted is an album I can listen to over and over.

I just couldn't find a spot for REM's first album Murmur, either, and boy do I wish I could've. (Oddly, I loathe everything they did after that. The EP they did before the Murmur is quite good, if you can find it.)

LOL, and my list doesn't include a single entry after 1988, or whenever Appetite for Destruction came out. :p
