hell yeah. I have a copy of this but have yet to find a decent vinyl version

That's beyond ace.

adding to the list!

I´m a big fan of Wigwam. I really think Fairyport is best album of the world. I prefer the "first Wigwam" (there were Gustavson-Pohjola-Pembroke-Österberg) but I like a lot also the second company. And their comeback album "Light Ages" is also quite good, after that they haven´t made anything that is about to mention.

It´s wonderful, that so many could mention only ten albums and leave many "love-ones" out. Because somebody have made new lists, I also mention the albums, that I have to leave out with big pain:

Pink Floyd: Atom Heart Mother
the Who: the Who Sell Out
The Velvet Underground and the Nico
Joy Division: Unknown Pleasures
Jethro Tull: Thick As a Brick
the Rolling Stones: Beggars Banquet
The Beatles: Revolver
The Pretty Things: S.F. Sorrow
Bauhaus: Mask
Jon Spencer Blues Explosion: Orange
Sielun Veljet: Suomi-Finland (somebody already mentioned this, it´s really great album)
Jimi Tenor and His Shamans: Diktafon (another great Finnish album)
Gun Club: Fire of Love
the Cramps: Psychedelic Jungle
Amon Duul II: Tanz Der Lemminge
Hawkwind: Warrior on the Edge Of time
Traffic: Mr. Fantasy
the Doors: Strange Days
Björk: Medulla
Kate Bush: the Kick Inside
Country Joe and the Fish: Electric Music for the Mind and the Body
Cream: Disraeli Gears
Osibisa: Heads

There are still many more, but maybe I have to finish this.

Can't check it right now, but I think I have the one with Reiner and the Chicago symphonic orchestra. Fricsay's rendition is supposed to be really good, but I haven't heard it.

But yeah, a classical top 10 is basically sth infeasible.

It was really hard to choose best Tom Waits album, cause I love all he has made after Heartattack and vine (though the seventies album are also very great, but I think something good happen in swordfishtrombones and luckily it´s going still). I think the Black rider is strongest entity in his production. I like the Burroughs story. Albums´s music is also so versatile, there are some elements that are not in any other Waits album. To me it is very hard to understand, why Black Rider couldn´t be a favourite.

Thanks for the heads up.

I had another little think about my classical top 10. Again, something like Bach's Sonatas and Partitas for solo violin - I could almost do a top 10 featuring only that. It'd definitely feature well up on my favourite CDs ever, but it'd be a bloody nightmare picking between renditions (or, essentially, between Heifetz and Kremer), especially as there's usually another four released each year.

Ten 'symphonies' (cheating).

Beethoven 3

Shostakovich 13
Saint-Saens 3
Tchiakovsky 6
Sibelius 6
Mozart 38
Ligeti Atmosphéres [See 4]

3 and 6 are good numbers.
