Because I really can’t pick just ten.
I went with CD releases, rather than original album releases, mainly so I could stick in CDs where 2 great albums were fit onto one CD (Big Star, The dB’s). I also wasn’t a snob about box sets or compilations, though I tried to stay away from them as much as possible. I did limit myself to one album per artist, though, just to keep it interesting.
I tried to be honest and pick the stuff I actually listen to with pleasure the most often. There are plenty of albums I like - Pavement’s Slanted & Enchanted, Aphex Twin’s Richard D. James album, Blonde Redhead’s stuff, The Silver Apples’ first 2 albums (also together on 1 CD), Pulp’s Different Class - that are more mood music for me, and plenty of artists I theoretically should enjoy a lot more than I actually do - Nirvana, Neil Young, Modest Mouse. So here is my list, which I’m sure I will realize I made mistakes in, and hopefully more of you will post your own:

Oh, come on! I know I’m not the only music geek here. You don’t have to limit yourselves to one album per artist or just rock/pop. I’m sure the members of the Dope can come up with some better lists than Time or Rolling Stone.

and a number of albums that will have to Bubble Under. To rewrite the list would take even longer! So there’s 100 albums I like, leaving out many, many others. Now get off my lawn!
I can’t manage one album per artist or limit it to rock/pop, but I will try to put them vaguely in order of preference.
There isn’t much classical here, even though I listen to a lot of it, because I tend to have favorite pieces rather than favorite recordings/albums, if that makes sense.
The order was done unfairly quickly, so it probably doesn’t actually reflect my preferences. But here we go.

I’m counting box sets as one, yes.
Also, I’ll get off your lawn once you give me my ball back, old man!

Yeah, that’s why these are fun - they make you want to check out stuff you’re not aware of.
They also remind you of artists you forgot when putting together your own list - I probably should have made slots for Love, Midnight Oil, Roxy Music, The Bangles and Prefab Sprout. Next time I’ll have to do a top 150 list.
