And another alternative top 10 (with some obvious omissions)
Fleetwood Mac, Tusk.
Steely Dan, Countdown To Ecstasy.
David Bowie, Hunky Dory.
David Bowie, Blackstar.
Simon And Garfunkel, Bridge over Troubled Waters.
Paul Simon, Still Crazy After All these Years.
Neil Young, Freedom.
U2, The Joshua Tree.
Kate Bush, The Sensual World.
PJ Harvey, To Bring You My Love.
I take away Kate Bush (not that I don't like the album, but somebody has to go!) and add Black Sabbath 'Paranoid' because of its impulse for starting Heavy Metal.

It took some time for that decision but for me Mike Oldfield, even if it was the first concert I was to when he played in Munich in 1981, has to go for Can, as they started a new genre with introducing the 4/4 clock into rock music and a lot of bands (including Hawkwind) followed.
