I agree with 6 of those.  If I could go through life without ever listening to a rap or metallica album, i'd be fine.

These from the list rank very highly with me:

Let England Shake - PJ Harvey
Unknown Pleasures - Joy Division
Hopelessness - Anonhi
In Utero - Nirvana
Surfer Rosa - Pixies
Blue Lines - Massive Attack
Hounds of Love - Kate Bush
The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders From Mars - David Bowie

I'd substitute Joni's The Hissing of Summer Lawns for Hejira, as good an album as Hejira is.

Like a Prayer is Madonna's masterpiece and a great pop album.
