I tried to avoid the temptation of attempting to balance my list with albums from a variety of eras and instead went with my gut on what I like the most. Also, I tried to ignore the nagging thought of focusing on influence rather than just personal preference. So here's my lopsided, totally subjective list in no particular order:
1. The Cure—Disintegration
2. Television—Marquee Moon
3. Gang of Four—Entertainment
4. Brian Wilson—Smile
5. Swans—Love of Life
6. Tom Waits—Rain Dogs
7. Bob Mould—Workbook
8. Kill Me Tomorrow—The Garbageman and the Prostitute
9. Iggy Pop—The Idiot
10. Alien Sex Fiend—Curse
