Well, I have so many things to say:
First of all, I think that if you get 2 or more choices of the same group or artist in yout top 20 list, it demonstrates a lack of general music culture.
A well balanced top 20 should contain more than one music style, showing that you have an open mind!
I look at your choices and I was amazed: let's be serious: it's your top 20 albums!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can understand some of the pityful choices, if you only know 50 records!!!!!!!
Please, guys, enhance your musical culture!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Despite of that, I recognize that some guys here have happily surprising choices:

It was extremely hard, sometimes, inside an artist work, to decide what's his best album:
For instance, Van Halen: 1984 or the first one?
Marillion: clutching at straws or misplaced childhood?
Rush: moving pictures, signals or hemispheres?
Tangerine dream: Pergamon, Tangram, white eagle, force majeure, Logos or underwater sunlight?
Yes: fragile, relayer, going for the 1 or close to the edge?
Genesis: Selling, Foxtrot, trick of tail, trespass or the lamb?
pink floyd: wish, wall, animals or dark?
pat metheny: secret story, wichita falls?
renaissance: scheherazade, ashes, song for all, novella turn of card or prologue?
Frank Zappa: studio tan , orchestral fav, sleep dirt, tinsel town, ship arriving, hot rats, waka, one size, apostrophe or roxy?
Vangelis: 1492, Mask, cairo, antarctica or chariots of fire?
IQ: seventh house, ever, tales from lush, wake or subterranea? I must admit this group has made only excellent albums!!
Rick Wakeman (I think it was the hardest one):
king arthur, Henry 8, criminal, earthly connexion, journey? mmmmmmmmhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CaMEL: snow goose or moonmadness?
Alan parson: I robot, mystery or pyramid?
I think my post is complete! I expect tons of comments!
