Top 10 albums

This list has turned out to be harder than i thought it would be. Do I include albums that meant a lot to me when i was younger but don't quite move me the same way? Do I set limits of albums from certain bands, even though that might affect the integrity of the list? I have at least 4 albums from the Beatles and two from the Cure, potentially leaving only four for everything else. That's not right! Also, a lot of the CDs i bought when i was younger were greatest hits CDs, but I can't include those in the XPN list, which effectively cuts out many of the artists that i listened to then. What to do?
Here is an inexhaustive list of possible top 10 albums that come to my head:
Beatles: Rubber Soul, Revolver, White album, Abbey Road
Cure: Kiss me, Kiss me, Kiss me; Disintegration
REM: Automatic for the People, Out of Time
10000 Maniacs: In My Tribe, Our Time in Eden
Psychedelic Furs: World Outside
Van Morrison: Moondance
Jeff Buckley: Grace
Peter Gabriel: So
Nick Drake: Bryter Later
Simon & Garfunkel: Live in Central Park
Michael Jackson: Thriller
Bob Dylan: Blood on the Tracks
David Gray: White Ladder

Damn it! I know there are so many more! I just can't think of them right now.
