It's certainly tough but thats what makes it interesting. You have ten in all categories of music so what are you going to pick? Keep in mind we are also playing by a radio stations rules. They will get thousands of lists and boil it down to 893 albums! So, everything is going to show up there.I'm gonna need to give this another go. The category of "essential albums" is too broad for my tastes. Even though my initial picks showed a particular bias towards the hard and heavy stuff, I do listen to other music. So allow me to diversify with <drum roll>...
6. No music prior to 1966.
You know that rock and roll was a thing at least 10, 15 years before 1966?
Listened to The Lion and the Cobra last night and moved Sinead to my main list, bumping Radiohead. Gods, she was so powerful and lovely.Top ten going women vocalists only
Bjork, Debut if I can’t have Volumen 1993-2003.
Portishead, Dummy, again. Beth Gibbons is incredible.
Amy Winehouse, Back to Black, agreed.
Tori Amos, Boys for Pele or To Venus and Back (perfectly good cases to be made for Little Earthquakes, Under the Pink, or From the Choirgirl Hotel, though)
Cocteau Twins, Heaven or Las Vegas (seeing Liz Fraser on the Massive Attack Mezzanine 2019 tour was a dream)
PJ Harvey, To Bring You My Love (Let England Shake is a banger, though)
Fiona Apple, Tidal
Sinead O’Connor, The Lion and the Cobra (so unbelievably good, it might have to go on my main list in retrospect)
Siouxie and the Banshees, Twice Upon a Time, the Singles (or maybe Superstition, if I can’t do a GH)
Concrete Blonde, Bloodletting (though Walking in London and Mexican Moon are really strong)
Cindi Lauper, probably She’s So Unusual. An all-time great singer.
