Hi Fr0g
I don't post very often, but I could not resist this one as I am a bit of a fan of electronic music.
Albums that are the corner stone of why I like electronic music and are go to for me
1. Kraftwerk The Man Machine
2. Tangerine Dream Tangram
3. The Human League Travelogue
4. Ryuichi Sakamoto B-2 unit
5. Vangelis China
6. Ultravox Vienna
7. Bill Nelson A Love that Whirls
8. Jean Michel Jarre Magnetic Fields
9. Klaus Schulze Digit
10. Edgar Froese Kamikaze 1989
I have more recently been listening to these artists who have rekindled my electronic listening over the last 3 years
Stars of the lid, A winged victory for the sullen, Bloodgroup, Royksopp, Wolfsheim, Iamamiwhoami, Solarfields, Chicane, Ulrich Schnauss, Chvrches.
Have to say I love the stuff and have a mountain of CD's from all of these artists and a few others.

If you like Stars of the Lid and haven't already listened to it, try "Dead Texan - Dead Texan". It's a really excellent album, and would be on my list apart from the fact I limited myself to 10, even though I forgot that in the thread title.
Some more excellent stuff which I must add...
Rykard - Arrive the Radio Beacon
Tycho - Past is Prologue
Orbital - In Sides
Sync 24 -Ambient Archive
Vibrasphere - Lungs of Life
Young American Primitive - Young American Primitive
Solar Fields - Until we meet the sky
AES Dana - Pollen
HUVA Network - Ephermeris
Marconi Union - Under Wires and Searchlights
Biosphere - Substrata (One of the best ambient albums made IMO)
Jon Hopkins - Contact Note
port royal - dying in time
Ulrich Shnauss - Far away trains passing by
more to come
By the way I try to limit myself to one album per artist, but usually like most of each's output
