That's a lot like asking what is the best 10 fiction books...depends
on the type of fiction (or folk) you like.  Some define folk as 
"international music", some as "Appalacian", some as modern stuff, and
so forth, ad infinitem.

Having said thay, I'll go blythly ahead and list some albums I enjoy..
and most are 60's and 70's stuff...but all are good music.

1. John Renbourne /Bert Jansch/Pentangle - almost anything..in 
  	particular "Birthday Blues", "Stepping Stones" and
	"Basket of Light"

2. James Taylor - "Sweet Baby James"

3.  Stringband - "Canadian Sunset"

4.  Claudio Schmidt - "Claudia Schmidt"

5.  Tom Rush - "Blues, Song, Ballads", "Tom Rush", "The Circle Game"

6.  Judy Roderick - "Woman Blue"

7.  Peter, Paul & Mary - almost anything - "In Concert", "A Song Will 
	Rise", "See What tomorrow Brings"

8. Joni Mitchell - "Clouds", "Ladies of the Canyon"

9.  Limeliters - "London Concert", "Straight Ahead", "Sing Out"

10. Koettke - darned near everything

11. Joe & Eddie - "Tear Down the Walls", "Walking Down the Line"

12. Ian & Sylvia - "Ian & Sylvia", "Four Strong Winds", Full Circle"

13. Hedge & Donna - "All the Friendly Colours"

14. Arlo Guthrie - "Hobo's Lullabye", "Alice's Restaurant"

15. Richard & Mini Farina - "reflections in a Crystal Wind", "Celebrations
	for a Gray Day"

16.  Judy Collins - "A Maid of Constant Sorrow", "#3", and most the others

17.  Doc Watson - "Southbound", "Two Days in Novenber" and most the rest.

Oh heck, I could do this for a while - but now I really want to go
listen to some of these!  

BTW - add names like Pete Seeger, Maybelle Carter, Joan Baez, Lenoard
Cohen, Dick Rosmini, maybe Simon & Garfunkel, Dirt Band, ISB, Josh
White (and Jr.), and maybe the Bo Conrad Spit Band!

Doomsday in the Afternoon sung by Arthur Johnstone is rather appropriate
for the Gypse debate that at present exists in Germany, since the song
is about how the "travelling people" are always persecuted, and were
sent to extermination camps in Germany during the second world war.

Is _Live at Last_ the same as _Tonight's the Night_? If so, it's out in the
U.S.  on Shanachie.
I had the impression that they were the same, given something that Peter
Knight said on Gene Shay's folk show on WHYY (or else "the Unicorn" on
WXPN) one Sunday night last spring. When asked what Steeleye Span albums
might be coming out in the near future, he mentioned (I'm pretty sure)
thatthe long awaited _Live at Last_  album would be out in the US this
fall. And then _Tonight's the Night_ came out this fall, so I assumed they
were the same.... Correct me if I'm wrong?

His general rule of thumb was that every other concert was a benefit.
Most everyone involved with Live Aid credited Harry Chapin for making
them aware of world hunger.

In the discussion of "How Can I Keep from Singing?",
wjones@halcyon.com (Warren Jones) says that he thinks Pete Seeger
recorded it.  Then pavlovic@ehsc.orst.edu (James Pavlovich) mentions
that

>On my copy of Arlo Guthrie/Pete Seeger's "Precious Friend"  album it is 
>credited to Doris Plenn Copyright 1964 Sanga Music Inc. BMI.  [More
>words deleted]

>(pavlovij@ucs.orst.edu)

Also, patricia@cs.utexas.edu (Patricia M. Burson) mentions that the
song is also known as the Quaker hymn.

The song appeared in Sing Out! back in the '50s or '60s.  It was
collected from Doris Plenn, of North Carolina (or was it South
Carolina? -- now I can't remember), who described it as a Quaker
hymn, which is strange because Quakers don't sing in or otherwise
ornament their meetings.  (No, it's NOT a Shaker hymn that somebody
mixed up the first two letters of the denomination of the sponsors
of. :-) )  Pete Seeger first popularized it, and recorded it on
one of his Columbia records (sorry, can't recall which) as well as
on "Precious Friend".  There's a version with much less socially
conscious words in Sankey & Moody's late 19th century hymn collec-
tion.  "How Can I Keep from Singing" appears in, and is the
eponymous song in, the collection "How Can We Keep from Singing?",
edited by Michael Cooney, which consists of various songs reprinted
from Sing Out! that are good for group singing.  It is, IMHO, a
fine song book.

Here's my attempt at a "Top 10" which hits several different
        subgenres of folk music.
   SINGER-SONGWRITERS
1. Bill Morrissey - Standing Eight
2. John Gorka - Land of the Bottom Line
3. Guy Clark - Old No. 1

   BRITISH FOLK/FOLK-ROCK
4. Capercaillie - Sidewaulk
5. Oyster Band - any one of their albums.  "Destroyers" is the most recent.

   BLUEGRASS
6. Alison Krauss - Two Highways
7. Tim and Mollie O'Brien - Take Me Back

   AMERICAN FOLK-ROCK
8. Michelle Shocked - Arkansas Traveler

   MISCELLANEOUS COMPLIATIONS
9. On a Winters Night - various artists, compiled by Christine Lavin
10. Will the Circle be Unbroken (both volumes) - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band et al.

--------------------------------------------------------
HONORABLE MENTION
Richard and Linda Thompson - I Want to See the Bright Lights Tonight
        British folk-rock
Cheryl Wheeler - Circles and Arrows, Half a Book
        Neither of these albums does her justice, she's much better live.
        American singer-songwriter with a wonderful voice and great sense
                of humor.
Hot Rize - Traditional Ties (or another, this is just the one I know best)
        Bluegrass
Mary Coughlan - Any of her 3? CD's.  She's not really "folk", maybe more blues
                        or rock.
Fairport Convention - The Woodworm? Years (a compilation of their most recent
                                        several releases)
        Very long lived (20+ years) British folk-rock band.

Though it wouldn't really be classified as "pirate music," I would 
suggest The Pogues.  Specifically, "If I Should Fall From Grace With 
God."  I had a friend who used to refer to it affectionately as Pirate 
Punk.  It is quite shanty-like, and loads of fun.
