Well if you want to extend it to more than 20 then go for it 
Some very good albums listed, some of which I have, some of which I'll now be aquiring as seeing them has caused a "ahhhhhhhhhhh, I remember that album!" moment
Keep them coming

In no particular order
The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses - Great tunes all, except one.
Oasis - Definitely Maybe - A blast of pure attitude after all that bloody grunge.
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here - Better than DSOTM by any measure.
Manic Street Preachers - Generation Terrorists - Motorcycle Emptiness, 'nuff said.
Neil Young - After The Gold Rush - Seminal
Massive Attack - Protection - Never been out of my car's CD Changer in ten years
Miles Davis - Kind of Blue - Jazz doesn't get any better than this.
Guns 'n' Roses - Appetite For Destruction - Showed Bon Jovi and the rest up for what they were.
Love - Forever Changes- Only been introduced to this recently, Timeless.
The Who - Who's Better - no-one, best played LOUD.
Faithless - Reverence - Salva Mea and some other great tunes.
Dire Straits - Alchemy - The DEFINITIVE live recording.
John Mayall's Bluesbreakers - Raw Blues - The godfather of British blues and some kid guitarist who's OK
The Oscar Peterson Trio - Night Train - That's how a piano is played.
Radiohead - OK Computer - Like most I needed a few listens to really appreciate this
Lou Reed - Transformer - When your cohorts are Ziggy and the chief Spider, you can hardly go wrong.
U2 - The Joshua Tree - The last great U2 album
Phil Spector- A Christmas Gift - How Christmas songs should be done
The Happy Mondays - Pills, Thrills 'n' Bellyaches - Bez
All the above IMO of course
The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses - Great tunes all, except one.
