My Top 10 Albums of All Time (for right now)

So a friend of mine (Tim) asked people on Facebook to post their top 10 albums of all-time without using the same artist more than once. In the past when I constructed top album 10 lists that's pretty much the way I did it - basically picking each artist's best album and then comparing it with the others. I don't think that's best way to come up with a true list, but I obliged and here's that list:

My Top 10 Albums of All Time (without repeating any artists)
1 Joshua Tree - U2
2 The Bends - Radiohead
3 I - Led Zeppelin
4 Green - R.E.M
5 Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd
6 Plans - Death Cab for Cutie
7 Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter - Jon Foreman
8 Who's Next - The Who
9 Revolver - The Beatles
10 Switchfoot - Nothing is Sound

After that, feeling slightly unsatisfied, I took it upon myself to do a more comprehensive list that allowed artists to repeat. Here's that list:

My Top 10 Albums of All Time
1 Joshua Tree - U2
2 The Bends - Radiohead
3 War - U2
4 I - Led Zeppelin
5 IV - Led Zeppelin
6 Green - R.E.M.
7 Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd
8 Plans - Death Cab for Cutie
9 Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter - Jon Foreman
10 Who's Next - The Who

Boy, no Beatles? Doesn't seem right does it? But it is what it is for now and it will change with time (I'm talking hours, not months or years). If there are any inconsistencies it's because these lists were not made at the same time and my tastes changed slightly.

Some of my honorable mentions in no particular order:

Life's Rich Pageant - R.E.M.
Revolver - The Beatles
Boy - U2
Forget About It - Alison Krauss
Continuum - John Mayer
Hopes and Fears - Keane
The Wall - Pink Floyd
Nickel Creek - Nickel Creek
Come Away With Me - Norah Jones
Surfacing - Sarah McLachlan
Wincing the Night Away - The Shins
Nothing is Sound - Switchfoot
Blood Sugar Sex Magik - Red Hot Chili Peppers
Synchronicity - Police
Ten - Pearl Jam
Oh No - OK Go
Let It Die - Feist
Wildflowers - Tom Petty

There you have it - now go do your own list.
