What albums will stay with you forever?

It's hard to say that I'll be listening to these in 10 more years, much less 20 or 30. But I'll try to give you albums that are more than 10 year old, but I still listen to them relatively frequently:

Led Zeppelin: IV, Houses of the Holy, Physical Graffiti

Tool: Aenima, Lateralus

Deftones: White Pony, Around The Fur

Alice In Chains: Dirt, Jar of Flies, Self-Titled, Unplugged

Soundgarden: Badmotorfinger, Superunknown, Down On The Upside

Pearl Jam: Ten

Smashing Pumpkins: Siamese Dream

Dire Straits: Brothers In Arms

The Beatles: Sgt Peppers, Revolver, White Album, Rubber Soul

Rolling Stones: Exile On Main Street, Goats Head Soup, Some Girls

Pink Floyd: Wish You Were Here, Dark Side of the Moon, The Wall

It's rather hard to just narrow it down to 10. I have over 100 different albums on my iPod and honestly, In 20 or 30 years, I'd go back to most of them. That's one of the great things of music. You can explore new music and revisit old ones.
