Great choices. It is interesting that you have some of my favorite artists on this list but not necessarily my favorite albums by them. For example, I love Astral Weeks and After the Gold Rush. Also Boys and Girls is my favorite Roxy Music album.
1. Happiness is a Warm Gun
2. Don't Bother Me
3. Helter Skelter
4. I am the Walrus
5. A Day in the Life
6. You've Got to Hide Your Love Away
7. Hey Bulldog
8. Yer Blues
9. Mother Nature's Son
10. Norwegian Wood
I have not seen the documentary but I have heard that it makes a pretty good argument. I have a lot of sympathy for Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain, Layne Staley, etc. But I also have a visceral feeling that Lennon's murder was the one of the most senseless and brutal acts in music history, if not beyond.
A am a huge fan of Low as well as the entire Berlin/Eno period. Some Are is probably my favorite track b/c I keep imagining what they were thinking when they recorded something that resembles a Christmas carol.
As far as magazines go, how is Mojo?
A list would not complete without Hey, Hey, My, My, Mr. Soul, The Loner and I've Been Waiting For You.
I loved Crimes and Misdemeanors but I would still say my favorite is Broadway Danny Rose.

I put in my two cents for Jack Bruce.
Cool list. Just to offer up my top 5:
1. Remember a Day
2. Green is the Color
3. Dogs
4. Cirrus Minor
5. Astronomy Domine
I really disliked it. It was too gratuitous, going for shock value, without anything substantive to back it up.
I am stuck on Young Americans - David Bowie

1. Happiness is a Warm Gun
2. Don't Bother Me

Oh, I've walked on water, run through fire
Can't seem to feel it anymore
