In no order...

Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd
Kid A - Radiohead
( ) - Sigur Rós
Blue - Joni Mitchell
Maybe They Will Sing For Us Tomorrow - Hammock
Fordlandia - Johann Johannsson
What's Going On - Marvin ***e
Bookends - Simon and Garfunkel
Kind of Blue - Miles Davis (and co.)
Grace - Jeff Buckley
Copia - Eluvium
Music for Airports - Brian Eno

Well, it's 12, and it's not exactly my 12 favorite albums either. I didn't want to pick more then one from each artist, and I was trying to also bear in mind the "albums you need to hear before you die" with some of them, though with others, that label probably doesn't fit as much, and are more personal taste.

Honorable mention to Censored Colors by Portugal the Man. I can see why it'd be tough to sit through the whole album at once, but there are some really incredible tracks on there that speak to me a lot.
