What's your all-time top 10 favorite albums?

It could be these ones :

Anekdoten - Nucleus
Morte Macabre - Symphonic Holocaust
Nick Drake - Pink Moon/Five Leaves left
Magma - Live Hhaï
Soft Machine - II
Carmen - Fandangos In Space
Opeth - My Arms Your Hearse
Trettioåriga Kriget - Same
King Crimson - Larks Tongues In Aspic
Ulver - Shadows Of The Sun
 
An all time favourite is a stupid idea when you think about it... how many years of your life are you including? Does it have albums that you loved as a kid but despise now?

In essence, its just a current favourites list that may or may not be your now playing list. In other works whoever posted a list on this thread is an idiot.

lol obviously the list will just be a list of current favourites. what's wrong with that? a list like this would change for everybody all the time. might try and make mine today
