There's so many great Creation albums to choose from but my top 10 would look like:

1. My Bloody Valentine - Loveless
2. Slowdive - Souvlaki
3. Primal Scream - Screamadelica
4. Slowdive - Pygmalion
5. Ride - Nowhere
6. Teenage Fanclub - Bandwagonesque
7. My Bloody Valentine - Isn't Anything
8. Felt - Forever Breathes The Lonely Word
9. Adorable - Against Perfection
10. Teenage Fanclub - Grand Prix

It's a huge pity that the label isn't around today, just imagine what bands would be signed to it. There could even be bands with great potential languishing in obscurity today that could get exposure through Creation Records if it was still around. The British indie and alternative scene today could be so different.
Yeah, I can't help but think if Creation was still active British music would be a hell of a lot more interesting than it is right now.
