My first go was 26 albums, so I have a little addendum:
    Desert Island 10
  1. Sparta - Wiretap Scars
  2. Mars Volta - De-Loused in the Comatorium
  3. Bob Mould - Workbook
  4. Foo Fighters - The Colour and the Shape
  5. The Who - Live at Leeds
  6. Get-Up Kids - Something To Write Home About
  7. Husker Du - Zen Arcade
  8. Interpol - Turn On the Bright Lights
  9. Nirvana - In Utero
  10. Local H - No Fun EP & Sugar - Beaster (two EPs counts as one album, right?)

    Bomb Shelter 20
  11. Wilco - Summerteeth
  12. U2 - Achtung Baby
  13. Ozma - Rock and Roll Part Three
  14. Peter Gabriel - I/Car

I'm sure if I spent more time I could swap categories some more, but I'm calling it quits.
