20 Perfect Albums

So i bought a 2gb mp3 player to replace my rusty old ipod.
i've been trying to compile a list of 20 perfect albums to
put on it. i.e albums that are timeless, and have indeed
stood the test of time, can be enjoyed on multiple levels,
and do not lose integrity or interest with repeated listens.
i've got a good start already, but any suggestions?

I applaud your efforts to use albums when mp3 players seemed
designed to destroy the whole "album experience".

I know it's probably a totally personal subjective topic,
but here are a few albums I can think of, which hopefully
others won't think of. Wouldn't it be boring if we all went
for the same...

Lee Scratch Perry - Secret Laboratory
ELO - Out of the blue
10CC - Live and let live
Kraftwerk - Radioactivity
Beastie Boys - Hello Nasty.
Led Zeppelin - can't decide which is best (you choose)
The Stranglers - the collection 1977-1982

Maybe you will like them, maybe not.
I know I've omitted so many great albums, but you
undoubtedly know them already.

pioneer.
