Hum - You’d Prefer An Astronaut, Downward Is Heavenward (That’s two albums)
Tool - AEnima
Sublime - 40oz. To Freedom
Each and Every Pavement album, but only if you like their style.
FWIW, I have to agree with the following choices:
If I Should Fall From Grace With God - The Pogues
Deja vu- CSNY (‘Almost Cut My Hair’ stands out in my mind)
Aja
“New York” by Lou Reed (Brilliant)
Bat Out of Hell by Meatloaf (A rock classic)
and add a few more (for now:D)
‘London Calling’, by The Clash, voted about ten years ago as the best album of the last 25 years by Rolling Stone magazine.
‘Layla (And Other Assorted Love Songs)’ by Derek and the Dominoes.

Def Leppard “Pyromania” AND “Hysteria”
As you can see…I’ve dated myself…Gee…think I grew up in the '80s?
Umm… Tapestry by Carol King.
Hmm…I guess everyone here is from the US or UK, or at least they mostly listen to English-speaking music…the cds i could listen to all day without getting tired of them (in fact, ive done that) in no order:
Brand New Day-Sting
Rubber Soul-The Beatles, I like every song of the album…
Rabo de Nube-Silvio Rodríguez
Balada de otro tiempo- Roy Brown
My faves for never triggering the fast-forward-button-pushing reflex: (in no particular order)[list=1]
[li]Texas Flood by Stevie Ray Vaughan[/li]
[li]Texas Sugar - Strat Magic by The Chris Duarte Group[/li]
Tones by Eric Johnson[/list=1]

Not a wasted note on any of them.
Marquee Moon by Television
Moondance - Van Morrison
Astral Weeks - Van Morrison
Green Days Dookie and Warning Cd absolutely kick ass in my mind. Any Blink 182 album rocks. Rancid’s Out Come The Wolves. Most of the Ramones CD’s are all good. Of course these happen to be my opinion so let me get flamed
Pink Floyd–Wish You Were Here. There’s not one track I’d ever consider skipping. Both parts of “Crazy Diamond” are pure genius, Have a Cigar and Welcome to the Machine are Floyd cynicism at its best, and the title track is one of my favorites.
Oddly, I also like Yes–The Ladder. Every track is at least catchy, IMHO.
Operation Ivy’s S/T
At The Frive In’s Relationship of Command
Botch’s We Are The Romans
Dillinger Escape Plan’s Calculating Infinity
The Clash’s S/T
Coalesce’s Functioning on Impatience
AFI’s Black Sails In The Sunset
Fugazi’s End Hits
Refused’s The Shape of Punk To Come
Nirvana’s Unplugged
Tool’s Opiate
:::sigh:::
I feel so OLD!!!
You’re only as old as your taste in music
I listen to bands that were out before I was born, and my 50 year old father listens to deathmetal.
If you’re having trouble relating to some of the bands and albums being listed, give some of them a shot. While I’ll be the first to agree that “they don’t make music like that anymore”, what they do make is still damn good.
