To explain what I mean, I think most would agree that most artists do their best work early in their careers, so it is not really common to see artists release great stuff once they hit their 10th studio album, 11th, etc., so I thought it would be interesting to see what albums people like the most that are no earlier than someone's 10th studio album.  In other words, the first 9 studio albums by every artist does not count; only take studio albums from their 10th and forward into account.  Make sense?

My picks:

1. Pink Floyd - The Wall (their 11th studio album)
2. The Beatles - Abbey Road (their 11th studio album)
3. Rush - Counterparts (their 15th studio album)
4. Rush - Power Windows (their 11th studio album)
5. Devin Townsend - Addicted (his 12th studio album)
6. Porcupine Tree - The Incident (their 10th studio album)
7. Pink Floyd - The Division Bell (their 14th studio album)
8. Pink Floyd - Animals (their 10th studio album)
9. Devin Townsend - Ghost (his 14th studio album)
10. Queen - Innuendo (their 14th studio album)
11. Dream Theater - A Dramatic Turn of Events (their 11th studio album)
12. Yes - Talk (their 14th studio album)
13. Rush  Grace Under Pressure (their 10th studio album)
14. The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots (their 10th studio album)
15. King Crimson - The Power to Believe (their 13th studio album)
16. Yes - 90125 (their 11th studio album)
17. Devin Townsend - Deconstruction (his 13th studio album)
18. Spock's Beard - X (their 10th studio album)
19. The Flaming Lips - At War with the Mystics (their 11th studio album)
20. Rush - Roll the Bones (their 14th studio album)
21. Devin Townsend - Ki (his 11th studio album)
22. The Flaming Lips - Embryonic (their 12th studio album)
23. Blue Oyster Cult - Heaven Forbid (their 11th studio album)
24. Rush - Hold Your Fire (their 12th studio album)
25. Blue Oyster Cult - Imaginos (their 10th studio album)

I'll agree with some of those in the op and I'll add

edit- oops, just noticed that Y&T's Ten is their 9th studio album. It's still great though.
