What are the best albums of all time?(requested)

In your mind

What are the best albums of all time?

[vurt]

in my mind? my stuff i guess

[androidlove]

dark side of the moon
wish you were here
animals
the wall

[vurt]

more seriously, one album that sends shivers down my spine, makes me wish i had been the mind behind it, if you doont have it, get "nurse with wound - salt marie celeste".

is it one of the best albums of all time? how can i say? we dont know how far in time we have progressed, "of all time" does include the past, but it also includes the future.

another favourite, pink floyd - piper at the gates of dawn. (wish you were here could also be in the running)

i suppose you did say "in your mind" which would limit me to things i have heard of, which i suppose does exclude the future.

spiritualised - ladies and gentlemen we are floating in space...
is pretty good too.

its not really an easy question as a lot of listening choices are based on mood, so maybe at the moment these are just the ones that spring to mind. tomorrow it could and probably will be very different.

white noise - an electric storm.

FSOL - Lifeforms

Autechre - Confield

Two that I never tire of

Paul's Boutique
Check Your Head
License to Ill

Nation of Millions (Public Enemy)

I really think the recent Justice album (from last year) is awesome, but I don't know the name of it. I downloaded it from eMusic.

Many more, but these stick out for now
