These are in order, with 1 being the best. I'm not going to include any Classical music, because the concept of an "album" doesn't work too well with it.

10. Dream Theater - Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence
9. Ayreon - Into the Electric Castle
8. Liquid Tension Experiment - Liquid Tension Experiment
7. Dream Theater - Octavarium
6. Dream Theater - Images and Words
5. Transatlantic - Bridge Across Forever

6) Rush: Hold Your Fire
7) Paul Chambers: Bass on Top
