    Don’t think I can get to 20 but here goes in no particular order:

    Songs From the Big Chair - Tears for Fears
    Low End Theory - A Tribe Called Quest
    Ghost in the Machine - The Police
    August and Everything After - Counting Crows
    Francis Albert Sinatra and Antonio Carlos Jobim
    Because the Internet - Childish Gambino
    Duncan Sheik (self titled)
    Seal (self titled)
    Not sure if this counts but…. Nocturnes - Chopin (not really an album but a seemingly continuous piece of music from one song to the next so fight me)
    A Love Supreme - John Coltrane
    Before These Crowded Streets - DMB
    Joshua Tree - U2
    All This Time - Sting
    Leaving LasVegas Soundtrack
    Sinatra at the Sands
    Kind of Blue - Miles Davis
    Roy Hargrove and the Tenors of Our Time (my wife / then girlfriend’s first gift to me)
    Parachutes - Coldplay


    I’m sure I’m gonna wake up tomorrow and remember I’m an idiot because I forgot to include an album I love so much

    Some great lists and I agree with others posters that there are several albums that I could’ve listed.

    want to add this one to my list
    If I Should Fall From the Grace with God - The Pogues

    the problem I have with some of these is...I see great albums, but not ones where I love every song.

    i really wanted to put Led Zeppelin, Van Halen, and AC/DC on my list, but to put it quite honestly, I can't think of a single record of theirs where I've loved every song and didn't skip any tracks.

    If you and @MadMax are in the DFW area check out Mad World. The local Tears for Fears Cover band. They are pretty good.
