As for Cash prison albums, I'm torn between Folsom and San Quentin. Both great. You can just about hear the warden cringe when Cash busts out "San Quentin, you've been livin' hell to me...."
Mine, for purely best rock albums:
Exile on Main Street (I don't think a better album is possible)
Revolver
Rubber Soul (both perfection in the pop songcraft side of rock)
Highway 61 Revisited (a tough choice over Blond on Blond)
London Calling.
Honorable mention Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, Sticky Fingers, Never Mind the Bollocks, Nevermind.

I left the rock off because we only got five, and I haven't been listening to much rock lately, but Exile is one of the all-time greats with London Calling close behind.
In the true confessions department, I bought Physical Graffiti a couple of years ago because I needed to hear the organ intro to "Trampled Underfoot" one more time. You can take the boy out of Long Island . . .
