My problem with threads like these, is I could never pick out 20 albums as my favorite, that I could consider better than all the rest.

I listen to the following genres and some of their subgenres:

Prog (avant-prog, Canterbury, Zeuhl, symphonic-prog, prog-metal)
Classical (avant-garde, serial, atonal, New-Complexity, Spectralism, 12 tone)
Jazz (fusion, post-bop, avant-garde, M-Base, chamber-jazz)

I could easily pick out 20 from each genre, that I would consider as good as the top 20 from the other genres. And I could also pick out quite a few more for each of each genre that are the equal of some that are on each list.

So, I am going to cheat and create 3 lists, 1 for each genre.
