(If this is trolling and whatnot, I apologize, but I did search for a similar topic and nothing directly related was there)

Alright, I'll start with a few of my all time favorites:
Juturna - Circa Survive
Californication - Red Hot Chili Peppers
De-Loused in the Comatorium - The Mars Volta
I'm a Woman, You're a Machine - Death From Above 1979

(I know, I know, a few is not four, but this is my topic, future hypothetical pricks)

Neutral Milk Hotel's In the Aeroplane Over the Sea, the entire Weakerthans discography, Sonic Youth's Daydream Nation and Built to Spill's Keep It Like a Secret.  Those are like, my top ones.  I have tons of favorite albums.

Oh, also The Mountain Goats' Tallahassee and pretty much everything Dinosaur Jr. has ever done after 1990.

Weezer - Weezer (1994)
Joy Division - Closer (1980)
Blur - Parklife (1994)
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Abattoir Blues/The Lyre Of Orpheus (2004)

If I have to choose one of Cave's double-disc, then it's Abattoir Blues.

P.S. The Wall is my favourite Pink Floyd album, but as much as I love the Floyd they've been replaced in my affections.

I'm gonna go all-out.

The Bends - Radiohead
The Lonesome Crowded West - Modest Mouse
The Fury of the Aquabats! - The Aquabats!
You're Living All Over Me - Dinosaur Jr.
Before the Dawn Heals Us - M83
There's Nothing Wrong With Love - Built to Spill
Loveless - My Bloody Valentine
Slanted and Enchanted - Pavement
Silent Alarm - Bloc Party
Icky Mettle - Archers of Loaf
Diary - Sunny Day Real Estate
Domestica - Cursive
Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness - The Smashing Pumpkins
Surfer Rosa - The Pixies
You Forgot It In People - Broken Social Scene
Clouds Taste Metallic- The Flaming Lips
Unknown Pleasures - Joy Division
Spirit If... - Kevin Drew

Yeah, I pretty much just put every fuckin' awesome album I could think of in there. Keep in mind, I also kept it to a one-album-per-band limit; if I didn't go by this, there would probably be at least twice as many titles up there.

In no paticular order (well, slightly alphabetical)...

City of Caterpillar - s/t
Envy - A Dead Sinking Story
Dirty Three - Horse Stories
Do Make Say Think - Winter Hymn Country Hymn Secret Hymn
Mono - You Are There
Saetia - A Retrospective
A Silver Mt. Zion - He Has Left Us Alone But Shafts Of Light Sometimes Grace The Corners Of Our Rooms, 13 Blues for Thirteen Moons (With Horses in the Sky and "This Is Our Punk-Rock," Thee Rusted Satellites Gather + Sing, closely trailing)

Those are the favorite albums of mine that I can think of off the top of my head. All incredibly excellent in my opinion, though it is a limited area of music.

Black Sheep Boy - Okkervil River (I know that liking BSB more than The Stand-Ins and The Stage Names is kind of backwards - it's a close call, but the lyrics on A Stone and Black tips the scales in BSB's favour)

I would agree with you on this, although The Stand Ins is quickly rising in my favor.

Arcade Fire - Funeral
Broken Social Scene - You Forgot It In People
Cut Copy - In Ghost Colours
Death Cab for Cutie - Transatlanticism
Elliott Smith - everything he ever did
Franz Ferdinand - s/t
Immaculate Machine's Fables
LCD Soundsystem - Sound of Silver
Lola Ray - Liars
Modest Mouse - The Moon & Antarctica
The New Pornographers - Electric Version (yes I like it more than Mass Romantic, shut up)
Of Montreal - Hissing Fauna...
Sea Wolf - Leaves in the River
The Shins - Chutes Too Narrow
Sigur Rós - Takk...
Spoon - everything they have done starting with Girls Can Tell
The Unicorns - Who Will Cut Our Hair...?
Voxtrot - their first three EPs
We Are Scientists - With Love and Squalor
Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

Kyuss - S/T (Welcome To Sky Valley)
Black Sabbath - Paranoid
Burzum - Filosofem
Down - NOLA
Iron Maiden - Powerslave
Judas Priest - Painkiller
Mogwai - Rock Action
Jeff Beck - Blow By Blow

I limited that to one album per artist, otherwise some bands (like Iron Maiden) would fill out a whole list on their own.

Minutemen - Double Nickels On The Dime
Black Flag - My War/Damaged
Delgados - Peloton

Fugazi - In On The Kill Taker/Red Medicine
Captain Beefheart - The Spotlight Kid/Clear Spot

A while ago it would just have been Double Nickels On The Dime, but the idea of one favourite anything has fallen out of favour with my recently.

And add three more:
Iggy Pop - Lust for Life

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Let Love In

I guess that's what I'll go with for now.  I'm way too scatter-brained to maintain a consistent top 5.

I make a list of my favorite albums every couple months or so, because it's constantly changing. Some of them fall out of favor, I discover others, and some have been on there since the first list I ever made. For this, I'm going to list every album that I've ever had on my list, in no particular order. It's quite extensive--hell, it's massive. If it seems overboard, keep in mind that I have over 1,000 albums on my external hard drive, so narrowing it to this is actually pretty damn hard.

Rain Dogs and Bone Machine - Tom Waits
You Forgot it in People - Broken Social Scene

There are so many good lists up here.

I think I might need to add some that I didn't see in my quick glance at the lists though.

5 songs- Decemberists
The Sunset Tree- The Mountain Goats
Kid A- Radiohead
Moon Safari- Air
Mirrored- Battles
Howl Howl Gaff Gaff - the shout out louds
Set Yourself on Fire- Stars


If I were to also include albums that have already been mentioned, this list would be quite long.

but special recognition to:
In the aeroplane over the sea - Neutral Milk Hotel
Funeral- Arcade Fire
