THE RULES: Don't take too long to think about it. Fifteen albums you've heard that will always stick with you. List the first fifteen that come to you in no more than fifteen minutes. (Dave Gilles started this. Isn't it nice?)
No, I think Roy Plomley started it, but here goes in no particular order. The world-changers...
- Abbey Road
- Tadpoles by the Bonzoes
- Fourth by Soft Machine
- Roxy Music's first
- Meddle
- The Rotters Club (Hatfield and the North)
- Ten New Songs (Leonard Cohen)

- Speaking in Tongues (Talking Heads)
- A Part, and yet Apart (Bill Bruford)
- Tales from Topographic Oceans (Yes)
