which albums of ALL TIME would you give 10/10?

Jordan_229_2 [Edit] [Delete] 17:14, 1 April '13

the last thread about this thread got me to thinking about this. i'm not sure how much time you need to decide whether an album is a 10/10, and it seemed there was some disagreement on what a decade actually is. i'm going to avoid the big lads (Radiohead, The Beatles etc) here, and using 10/10 to mean albums in the upper 10ish% bracket, as close to perfection as can be:

Sigur Ros - Agaetis Byrjun
Motoro Faam - And Watercycles
Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago
Roscoe Holcomb - Untamed Sense Of Control
GY!BE - Moya (EP)
Dalek - Absence
Subtle - For Hero, For Fool
Saul Williams - S/T
Paul Simon - Graceland
ISIS - Oceanic
Antlers - Hospice
MBV - Loveless
Slowdive - Souvlaki
Talk Talk - Laughing Stock

think Motoro Faam and Paul Simon that come closest to being perfect.

really wanted to put Scott Walker, Nina Simone and REM there but couldn't pick an album and didnt want to use Greatest Hits, so i didn't.

i've probably forgotten loads.
