What are your favourite albums of all time?

My tastes have waxed and waned over the years, but 

Things that stand out:

Abba's greatest hits (for my sins: at 17!)

Crime of the Century Supertramp

Beach Boys greatest hits

Smile Brian Jones

Dark Side of the Moon Pink Floyd

Cocteau Twins Head over Heels, Garlands, Victoria Land

March Violets 

Kate Bush The Kick inside, Lionheart, Never for Ever, Hounds of Love, Arial. I have all her albums actually, but the others are spottier

Japanese Whispers, Disntegration, The Cure

Lacrimosa, Satura

Engelsstaub Malleus Maleficium, Ignis Fatuus

Ikon a moment in Time, Flowers for the Gathering

All about Eve All about Eve, Touched by Jesus  Ultraviolet, Scarlet

Theatre of Tragedy Assembly Musique

Florence and the Machine, Ceremonials

I've been playing a fair bit of Cocteau Twins and All About Eve through the recent wintery months.

There's some really good, melodic choices on your list.
