but as far as my favorite albums there are far too many to fit on this list so i tried to sum it up
It is so much fun to see everyone's favorite albums. There is such diversity and yet some similarity as well.
Here are some for me:
Kate Bush, The Hounds of Love
Youssou N'Dour, Joko From Village to Town
Suzanne Vega, Solitude Standing
Nirvana, Nevermind
Rasputina, How We Quit the Forest
Tori Amos, Little Earthquakes
Liz Phair, Whitechocolatespaceegg
Mary Chapin Carpenter, Shooting Straight in the Dark
Billy Joel, Storm Front
Loreena McKennitt, The Book of Secrets
The order on the list is sort-of how often I listen to the albums lately. Because that was the order they came to mind. The ones lower down on the list, I don't listen to as often (especially the last 4), but I still think of the albums as being particularly well-crafted, so that I enjoy nearly all the songs on the album, while the album itself has a clear logic to it that contributes further to the enjoyment of the songs.
AFI Sing the Sorrow
David Bowie Aladdin Sane
David Bowie Space Oddity
Zeppelin III
Bruce Springsteen The Wild, The Innocent, and The E Street Shuffle
Thrice Vheissu
Rolling Stones Sticky Fingers
Jethro Tull Aqualung
Interpol Antics
Brand New Jesus Christ and the Devil are Raging Inside You
and number 11 and 12 haha
The Cure Boys Don't Cry
The Smiths The Queen is Dead
Top Five:
1. Bob Dylan - Blonde on Blonde
2. The Clash - London Calling
3. Lou Reed - Transformer
4. Bob Dylan - Blood on the Tracks
5. Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited
“Life is the farce which everyone has to perform”
-Arthur Rimbaud
The Most Serene Republic- Population
Broken Social Scene- You Forgot It In People
Thrice- Vheissu
Samiam- Astray
The Weakerthans- Left and Leaving
I'm weary with right-angles, abbreviated daylight,
Waiting for a winter to be done.
Why do I still see you in every mirrored window,
In all that I could never overcome?

I wasn't expecting the Mars Volta to be mentioned once, let alone twice.
Off the top of my head:
The Mars Volta: Frances the Mute, De-Loused in the Comatorium, Bedlam in Goliath, Amputechture, Tremulant, Scabdates and Octahedron
At the Drive-In - Relationship of Command and Vaya
The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's
John Coltrane - A Love Supreme
Miles Davis - Kind of Blue, *****es Brew and On the Corner
Bjork - Homogenic
Blonde Redhead - Misery Is a Butterfly
Dredg - El Cielo
The Deftones - Adrenaline and White Pony
Pink Floyd - Animals
I've been listening to Gulag Orkestar by Beirut and it may eventually find its way up there.
