Funny, we were doing something like this for work recently and I spent a few minutes on the train this AM jotting down mine (no order, all good):
Mercury Rev - Yerself is Steam
Portishead - Dummy
Tindersticks - Tindersticks
Nick Drake - Five Leaves Left
Pixies - Doolittle or Surfer Rosa
Nick Cave - The Good Son
Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
Kayne West - Late Registration
Bathers (minor late eighties brit pop outfit I had an obsession with) - Sweet Deceit
Talk Talk - Spirit of Eden
My Bloody Valentine - Loveless
Primal Sream - Screamadelica
Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation
Fave Beatles Album (everyone has one) - Revolver
I've purposely tried to leave out albums from the past couple of years. Everything in this list (and I know I'm missing a few albums) has weathered the time and still sounds like it was made yesterday.
