Off the top of my head, these albums have been very reliable.
Exile on Main Street - The Rolling Stones
Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd
Houses of the Holy - Led Zeppelin
Songs in the Key of Life - Stevie Wonder
London Calling - The Clash
Izzy Stradlin and the Ju Ju Hounds - Izzy Stradlin and the Ju Ju Hounds
Wildflowers - Tom Petty
Nevermind - Nirvana
The White Album - The Beatles
If I had to choose one, it would be Exile on Main Street.
Good choices. Some of my own favorites in there. Especially Camembert Electrique. Though I would probably chose Fish Rising from Hillage myself.
Still struggling with this and I really need to get it out of my limited headspace and get on with my life. Many good choices (of course) here already but the only one I could say forsureabsolutelycertain to be in my Top Ten would be 'Exile'. Can't afford to give Radiohead the three I'm arguing about inside so need to keep the dialogue going for now. Certainly no closer to The One.
Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral
Erasure - Chorus
Depeche Mode - Black Celebration
Arcadia - So Red the Rose
Human League - Reproduction/Travelogue
Portishead - Dummy
R.E.M. - Document
Nick Cave & Bad Seeds - Murder Ballads
I have about 4000 albums in my collection so too many to mention for me.
At random:
Yes - Close to the Edge
Jethro Tull - Aqualung
Skinny Puppy - Too Dark Park
Rock Goddess - s/t
Savatage - Gutter Ballet
Shpongle - Are You Shpongled?
TFSOL - Lifeforms
Tribal Tech - s/t
Gloria Scott - What am I gonna do?
It was very close! I'd add Close To The Edge too to my list, fantastic album. Nice to see Shpongle in your list as well.
This is cool. Apple has the Dark Side of the Moon Documentary that came with the box set. Here's the link:
Watch “The Dark Side of the Moon Documentary” by Pink Floyd on @AppleMusic.

Shpongle is a recent discovery for me, but a great one!
Brandon Flowers- Flamingo. I think is album is incredible and still listen to it often. Such a good complete collection of songs.
Peter Gabriel- Up- yes, most of his work is great, but this album, for me, was such a complete statement. It better be, it's lasted about 14 years now as his "latest" album! Every time I listen again I hear something I didn't hear before.
And of course, echoing others, Sgt. Pepper and Abbey Road. @richardydot If you're a bassist perhaps Lovely Rita sits better...;-) however, between Day in the Life and the Abbey Rd. Medley, are there any two better closing statements to an album?
A Day in the Life, actually that's the only song I really like on Pepper, but it almost makes up for all the others.
in my teens, Duran Duran's first 3 albums were sheer perfection to me. When I dropped trombone and began taking piano lessons, I began writing almost immediately. I wasn't a songwriter, so I was pretty lost until a friend introduced me to Patrick O'Hearn's Eldorado and Mix Up albums. I've been composing instrumental with multicultural and urban(I'm from a small rural community with poor worldviews) perspectives ever since.
Long time 'most important' albums for me (a few of them...):
Closer - Joy Division / Dummy - Portishead / Children of God - Swans / The Good Son - Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds / Haus der Lüge - Einstürzende Neubauten / Shine - Crime & the City Solution / Power, Corruption & Lies - New Order /
Us - Peter Gabriel / () - Sigúr Rós / Bullitt - Lalo Schifrin / Songs of Faith and Devotion - Depeche Mode / The Covenant, the sword and the Arm of The Lord - Cabaret Voltaire / Protection - Massive Attack / Lift your skinny fists.... - Godspeed You! Black Emperor / The Richard D. James Album - Aphex Twin / Upstairs at Eric's - Yazoo
More recent discoveries and favs:
Shaking the Habitual - The Knife / Present Tense - Wild Beasts / No one can ever know - The Twilight Sad / WIXIW - Liars / Algiers - Algiers / Dust Collision - Kate Wax / Dysnomia - Dawn of MIDI / Viet Cong - Viet Cong / Deep in the Iris - Braids / Pale Green Ghosts - John Grant / The Sophtware Slump - Grandaddy / The Broken Man - Matt Elliott

burial - untrue / rival dealer
:zoviet*france: - shadow, thief of the sun
this will destroy you - tunnel blanket

early Shpongle albums are so good! Some great mentions here: @syrupcore (i think) mentioned Spacemen 3! Went through a big phase listening to them about 15 years ago. And @eustressor - Queensryche! My favourite band back in early 90's. (Rage was good, but I loved Mindcrime). Somebody mentioned Portishead - Dummy and I would probably put that on my list too. Since Radiohead got a lot of comments - my fav by far is The Bends. (I enjoyed OK Computer & In Rainbows too)
Others nobody has mentioned:
DJ Shadow - Entroducing (probably my top 2 or 3 albums ever)
Emmy Lou Harris - Wrecking Ball (genius Daniel Lanois production!)
Kyuss - Sky Valley
that's all that spring to mind currently - I'm definitely forgetting many
A very fine bit of work.
"Shoot Out The Lights" by Richard and Linda Thompson seems pretty perfect.
Leftism - Leftfield
Adore - Smashing Pumpkins
Last Rights - Skinny Puppy
Wrecking Ball is a song from Neil Young. E. Harris covered it.
Very hard to make up my mind about this one. Some great albums I haven't seen yet:
Rupert Hine - Waving Not Drowning
Jeff Buckley - Grace
Stevie Wonder - Innervisions
Andy Pratt - Resolution
The Cure - Wish
Shawn Colvin - A Few Small Repairs
Emmylou isn't really a songwriter per se, she mostly covers other people's material. I'm pretty sure there aren't any original songs on Wrecking Ball. She's still cool though, and she almost had a thing with Gram Parsons, except he died before they got around to it. "Love Hurts" is my favourite duet of all time...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrecking_Ball_(Emmylou_Harris_album)
yep - the whole Wrecking Ball album is covers - produced by Lanois, Larry Mullen from U2 was on drums - and a bunch of other great musicians as well.
Fine album, as mentioned, but if I'd known that 'Waltz me across Texas tonight' was going to become my literal theme tune I might not have given it so much damn house-room way back when...
…
Oh yes, yes, yes.
…
Er, yes, yes, yep, er, is it okay for me to admit this?
…
Actually, about twelve years ago I was writing another book and found them ideal for listening to while not listening to. I needed my attention, and they commanded none of it, which was good.
Also, I might add one by a band that was mentioned in another thread.
Disrhythmia — Split Enz (but I also want to include the superb track "The Roughest, Toughest Game in the World" from the album after, Frenzy)
Excellent selection. I remember buying The Faust Tapes when it was first released, because it was only 50p. But it was a revelation. One of my all-time favourites.
Their Dub Side of the Moon is also a stunning piece of work.
David Bowie Low
