Top 3? Of all time? Pretty hard, but if I had to break it down to a few defining albums that marked shifts in my musical tastes...

Radiohead - Kid A

Nine Inch Nails - The Fragile

Aphex Twin - Drukqs

This is impossible. I refuse.

Oh, all right.
OK Computer would be on there.
London Calling would be on there.
I would thereafter be prevented from choosing between Arcade Fire's Funeral and Leonard Cohen's New Skin For The Old Ceremony.
Or...or...or...or...
 
1. Era Vulgaris - Queens of the Stone Age
2. The Campfire Headphase - Boards of Canada
3. High Expectations/Low Results - Faunts

Strit it up - Bomfunk MCS
Double Fantasy - John Lennon
 
In no way are these my 3 favourite albums of all time, it's impossible to choose! So I'll just put up three I deem pretty awesome, and haven't been posted yet (To my knowledge!)

I wouldn't really say these are my top 3... when you end up really loving an entire album from start to finish it's kinda hard to just chose 3 that are your favorites. These are just 3 that I've been listening to a lot recently.
 
I could never have one, two or three favorite albums. There are too many great ones out there that I'd do a disservice to if I chose only three. That being said, here are some albums I have always loved:

B0000DJEMK.01._SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg

(What I'd like to call a perfect album.)

(Reprise always slays me in this one. It's just so damn good.)

Blew me away from the moment I heard it. Still blows me on occasion. Hardy har har.

A beautifully dark album. I might like it better than Funeral.

Definitely my favorite Of Montreal album.

How many bands can take a legendary hardcore punk album and turn it into a surreal neoclassical jungle soul masterpiece? [/indiesnob] But really, this album is amazing.

That's it for now. I'll post more because I like doing this and it's been a while since I've drooled over music like this.
 
Some of my favourites...

1. Arctic Monkeys - Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not
2. Oasis - Be Here Now
3. The Beatles - Love

Looks like a lot of people dig Boards of Canada. Suppose that means I should check them out!
 
You'll kick yourself for not doing so earlier.
