4-25, in no particular order: * The Beatles - The Beatles * Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation * Pearl Jam - Vitalogy * U2 - Achtung Baby * Neil Young and Crazy Horse - Rust Never Sleeps * Radiohead - OK Computer * Radiohead - Kid A * Radiohead - The Bends * Sleater-Kinney - The Woods * Built to Spill - Perfect From Now On * Explosions in the Sky - The Earth is Not a Cold, Dead Place * Titus Andronicus - The Airing of Grievances * The Thermals - The Body, the Blood, the Machine * Sleater-Kinney - One Beat * Wu-Tang Clan - Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) * Ice Cube - Death Certificate * Nas - Illmatic * R.E.M. - Murmur * Pavement - Wowee Zowee * Coldplay - Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends * Paul Simon - Graceland * Prince - Purple Rain
That's mostly accurate though I can think of about 25 other albums to include too. Those were just the first 25 that came to mind.

I always toggle back and forth between Aenima and Lateralus. Both so great. If re-wrote my list next week, I might put Aenima over Lateralus.

Not in any particular order as that would be too difficult and it depends on the day. Pretty standard issue list as far as Strat goes. Not the hippest or coolest but these albums have definitely impacted my being.

I like Global a Go Go a lot, but it's a bit too sprawling and genre-exercise-y. X Ray Style has a bunch of songs I love to death, that are as powerful as they are unassuming and sincere-- like "Willesden to Cricklewood", "Nitcomb", and the gorgeous title track. I also listened to that album incessantly during my first year of college, and as a result it's much more ingrained in my memory than any other Strummer or Clash album.

Great idea, dct -- I have been looking for a place to keep this list for a while, where I know I won't lose it. This way I can just pull it up on my mobile device when the time comes:
