I don't have a list of top 10 favorite artists albums. I have artists I like and albums I like. Let's look through my non-metal, non-classical, non-jazz section and I'll list a few albums I really like:
Guns N' Roses- Use Your Illusion I
Barry White- I've Got So Much To Give
Springsteen- Nebraska
Prince- Dirty Mind
U2- The Joshua Tree
The Police-Synchronicity
Rush- A Farewell to Kings
Nine Inch Nails- The Downward Spiral
Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan- Greatest Hits, Vol. 1
Grateful Dead- American Beauty
The Who- Who's Next
Peter Gabriel- Security
Frou Frou- Details
Neil Diamond- Hot August Night
Elton John- Goodbye Yellowbrick Road
Led Zeppelin- Houses of the Holy
That's just a sampling of discs I like. There are plenty of others of course but I just wanted to give you a brief overview. Though honestly I don't see the point of this excercise or what it proves.
