Ok here we go ... have a few caveats which I'll put at the end
1 Faith No More: King For a Day Fool For A Lifetime
2 Alice In Chains: Jar Of Flies*
3 Smashing Pumpkins: Siamese Dream
4 Tool: Undertow
5 Pearl Jam: Vs
6 Rage against the Machine: Rage against the Machine
7 Tool: Anema
8 GNR: Appetite For Destruction
9 Foo Fighters: The Colour And The Shape
10 Powderfinger: Internationalist
11 Alice In Chains: Dirt
12 Red Hot Chili Peppers: Californication
13 Metallica: Master Of Puppets
14 Black Crowes: Shake Your Money Maker
15 Shihad: Killjoy
16 Chris Cornell: Unplugged in Sweden **
17 AC/DC: Live At River Plate ***
18 Linkin Park: Minutes To Midnight
19 Faithless: Sunday 8pm
20 Sublime: Sublime- Is an EP, other than an LP, but I still view it is as completely seperate album and worthy of it's spot. I'd probably have Opiate by Tool around here too, but I've viewed that more as an EP. This probably makes no sense to anybody ... but my list, my rule
** Never released as an album, but available for download on multiple places
*** Sort of cheating as a compilation, but I honestly think AC/DC sound so much better live than from the studio.

@hooroo I thrashed the living shit out of the Judgement Night album.
I'm struggling to make a top 20, I don't think I'm an album guy and I'm trying to pick ones from my past that I would have listened to heaps, I have no problem coming up with top 20s for TV and movies though.
-
Nevermind is def in my top 20. Going to have to give this some serious thought... wonder what that feels like!
-
@hooroo ah Moby - Play. I've listened to it a bit recently. I swear when it came out everyone i know owned a copy of it.
The Trip is easily the best compilation ever, and is so cheating.
Judgement Night was pretty cool

@mn5 My Criteria is that if I were at a all day bbq with beers, I needed to be happy to hear the entire album in full. That would be a great day!
I probably feel the same about Mike Patton. Neither are at the very top echelon but are legends none the less.

The Trip was a converter album in its own right. So many people I know had their music tastes influenced by that album. (Me included too I guess) Therefore it gets its own place as a stand alone album.

I saw Moby at James Caberet when that album came out. Only a few hundred people tops and right before the songs were all over every fucken ad on TV. Great show.
As you say, every single person on earth owned a copy of it by 1999
