    Ah jasus its hard to pick even a top few. Here goes anywho

    Ok Computer/Kid A/ The Bends - Radiohead Cant choose one so i'm gonna cheat! 3 completely different yet undeniably brilliant albums.

    Dark Side Of The Moon - Pink Floyd I loose track of time when i listen to it, its like one epic, amazing song because all the songs blend together so perfectly.

    Turn On The Bright Lights - Interpol Wow:D

    Odelay - Beck It always makes me feel really happy because of how good it is and how many different styles are in it.

    Dummy - Portishead Every song grabs me especially Roads, Strangers and Glory Box. New album could be even better with more time.



    yeah! Beck, Odelay and One foot in the grave! He's like the gift that keeps on giving!:D

    Ixnay On The Hombre by The Offspring.
    I love it so much. It's definitely their most underrated album I think.

    SO many answers!!!! My top three (not really in order):

    Paul Simon - Graceland
    Simon & Garfunkel - Bridge Over Troubled Water
    The Beatles - Abbey Road


    And because these bands are well cool
    The Doors - The Morrison Hotel
    Led Zeppelin - 4, if only because of the utter differences between the a some of songs but yet how easily the band masters them all, example Black Dog vs Going to California.

    Clarity - Jimmy Eat World. This one wins it by a country mile for me. Absolutely never get even slightly sick of it. Heavy rotation in my CD player since I got it a over year and a half ago. Honourable mentions go to:

    Silent Alarm - Bloc Party

    Yield - Pearl Jam

    Boxer - The National

    Good News for People Who Love Bad News - Modest Mouse

    Takk... - Sigur Rós. Flows so beautifully. The whole album is like one long song.

    obviously an impossible task and the kinda pointless argument i love to give out about but mines,Revolver The Beatles. This was when the reached the critical mass of song writing after making the the first innovative steps with rubber soul and its carries the charm and innocence of their early work into the amazing experimenting that followed. But why yellow submarine?

    Other mentions
    Is this it strokes
    moon safari air
    nevermind
    the bends
    stone roses
    aha shake heartbreak
    dark side of the moon
    and many other quite obvious ones. like someone else said you kinda want to put underated albums because thay can give you more pleasure when you expected less.
    gonna a check out one or two i didnt see before. some fine choices though...

    Primal Scream - Screamadelica. It's so eclectic that it pretty much captures all my favourite genres. A summing-up of how music should be...

    If I had to pick one album I'll never tire of I'd say it is Dark Side of the Moon.

    Also love the long (22 minute) complete version of Shine on you Crazy Diamond by the Floyd as well- that song is such a journey.

    If I had to pick an album that just made me stand up and go 'wow' upon hearing it for the first time I'd say the Arctic Monkey's Whatever People Say I am- everything about it, the tempo, the lyrics, a real revelation all up. I'd put The Strokes Is This It into a similar category of totally getting it on the first play.
