Fantastic Planet is amazing. As far as The Beatles go, Rubber Soul tops my list.

To a one, excellent choices, and many of mine are from the same artists. I have only very recently decided that Abbey Road is my favorite album of all time. The other 11 in the cream of my musical crop (sadly not quite including Awake In A Dream by Eleven) would be: David Live: David Bowie, Black Celebration: Depeche Mode, Hemispheres: Rush, Spilt Milk: Jellyfish, XO: Elliot Smith (good call); Physical Graffiti: Led Zeppelin; Dark Side of the Moon: Pink Floyd; Band On The Run: Paul McCartney; Synchronicity: The Police; Achtung Baby: U2; Post: Bjork. More recently, I am awed and inspired by The 88, Grandaddy, Doves, The Dandy Warhols, ELO, Rufus (oh yes! and how he could not quite crack the crutial dozen is probably an error) Wainwright, and Fountains of Wayne.

I would have to say some of my favs. are:
1. Living Colour- Time's Up
2. Seal- Seal.lol
3. Phil Collins- In the Air
4. U2- Joshua Tree
5. Def Leppard-Hysteria
6. Genesis-Invisible Touch
7. Tears for Fears- Sowing Seeds of Love LP
8. Yes- All Lp's
9. Police- Regatta de Blanc
10. Joe Jackson- Steppin' Out
11. Randy Newman- kewl Lp's
12. Greg X. Volz- River is Rising
