King Crimson - "Red"
King Crimson - "Thrak"
Yes - "Close to the Edge"
Rush - "A Farewell to Kings"
Led Zeppelin - "Physical Graffiti"
Ambrosia - "Ambrosia"
Supertramp - "Crime of the Century"
Frank Zappa - "'Hot Rats"
Jethro Tull - "Thick as a Brick"
Pink Floyd - "Dark Side of the Moon"
 
Not in any order.  And that's only a partial list of only the classics from around the 70s.  And that is only part of my top ten because there are so many more than ten albums in my top ten.  There are many, many ties.  So consider this my edited top 10 for the sake of only naming 10.  That's why making a top 10 list is impossible for me.

Love  these, too.  And a top 10 is just about impossible for me.  Much less a favourite LP of a certain year, etc.

I cannot choose only 10, there are so many great albums that I really enjoy listening, both from the classic period, and more recent ones. King Crimson, Jethro Tull, Genesis, Yes, ELP, Pink Floyd, Rennaisance, Gentle Giant, PFM, Osiris, Mike Keneally, Asia Minor, OVNI, etc. So many album from each band that I enjoy greatly.

I probably should have used the other name for the album (thought about it at the time, but went with the name of my copy). It's a great album. I like all of the Egisto Macchi albums that I have -- Voix is another personal favourite of mine of his, but then I'm a sucker for choral-type music like this:



As for my earlier list, I was kind of amazed several minutes after posting it, what with my love of Art Zoyd, that I didn't think of Génération sans futur. Those were the first ten albums that came to my mind. Had I done it half an hour later, the choices might have been quite different. I think right now my Morricone choice would be Maddalena (one of his that I return to the most). Docteur Faust is one of those albums that I am quite sure would have come to mind an hour, two hours, and a week later. Rock Bottom is one that I would have expected to come to mind immediately, but I was true to the first ten to come to mind.
