I take away Kate Bush (not that I don't like the album, but somebody has to go!) and add Black Sabbath 'Paranoid' because of its impulse for starting Heavy Metal.

Miles Davis - Kind of Blue
The Velvet Underground & Nico
Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells
Crass - Stations of the Crass
David Bowie - Aladdin Sane
Neil Young - Everyone knows this is nowhere
The Beatles - -Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band
The Cure - Disintegration
Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti
Black Sabbath - Paranoid

It took some time for that decision but for me Mike Oldfield, even if it was the first concert I was to when he played in Munich in 1981, has to go for Can, as they started a new genre with introducing the 4/4 clock into rock music and a lot of bands (including Hawkwind) followed.

Miles Davis - Kind of Blue
The Velvet Underground & Nico
Can - Monster Movie
Crass - Stations of the Crass
David Bowie - Aladdin Sane
Neil Young - Everyone knows this is nowhere
Queen- A Day at the Races
The Cure - Disintegration
Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti
Black Sabbath - Paranoid

Thanks. I'd know what to put in next, but what to throw out? Glad that it's not my turn.
