My top 100 albums

Purely in the interests of personal nostalgia, and absolutely not in the expectation that this will be of interest to anyone else, I have been thinking about my favourite rock albums of all time. I didn't see any way of including classical music in the comparison, and my interests in jazz, folk, world music, etc, pale into insignificance in the great scheme of things.
This is not my estimation of the best music ever made or anything of that nature. It is simply a list of the albums which have had the most impact on me over the years, and to which I have probably spent the most hours listening over the years. It doesn't necessarily reflect my tastes now.
It follows my progression from hard rock (in my pre-teen and early teen years) through prog and jazz-rock, the punk revolution and post-punk new wave, most of it biased towards my native Britain, of course. Things peter out somewhat in the early eighties, and interestingly the only music from more recent years that make the list is some trip-hop and some of the more experimental electronica. How much that says about me and how much about the music, I'm not quite sure.
The only simplifying rule I used (in order to prevent chaos and impossible value judgments) was just one album for each artist, and even that was hard enough. They are listed in chronological order:
