Greenday - Dookie
Jimmie’s Chicken Shack - Bring Your Own Stereo
Deftones - White Pony
Offspring - Smash
Metallica - S&M
Foo Fighters - The Colour and the Shape
Limp Bizkit - Three Dollar Bill, Yall
I’m also going to chime in with something not mentioned before even though I agree with many of them.
Marillion - Fugazi
Marillion - Misplaced Childhood
Led Zepplin - Houses of the Holy
Rush - Moving Pictures (actually, most Rush albums before and including Grace Under Pressure)
Queen - The Game
Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band - Night Moves
Elton John - Goodbye Yellowbrick Road
I agree, though I’d have to include “Recovering the Satellites” as well. And “Across a Wire,” but that’s just live performances of previously released material, excluding “Chelsea.”
Ben Folds Five-“Whatever and Ever Amen”
Anything by Billy Joel except “The Nylon Curtain.” I’m not a fan of “Goodnight Saigon.”
The Corrs-“Talk On Corners”
The Book of Secrets by **Loreena McKennitt. **
Every single track on that disk is a miracle.
Well, while I am a die hard fan…and when I say DIE HARD, I mean scheduling pregnancies around tour dates…I have to disagree that Sehnsucht by Rammstein is “every song a wonder”. Klavier is weird at best but everything else rocks.
My votes?
Gordon by Barenaked Ladies
Live in Australia by Elton John
and, in my humblest opinion…the greatest album…EVER

good topic, i love these.
Guns N’ Roses - Appetite for Destruction comes to mind at first, it is great!
also albums from led zeppelin, floyd and several others mentioned before i can agree with!
Gotta go with Gerry Rafferty’s “City to City”. Not only do you get his biggest hit, Baker Street, with that incredible Raphael Ravenscroft sax and tasteful but kickin’ guitar, but you also get Right Down The Line and Home and Dry. Tasteful and thoughtful throughout. It’s the only album I’ve spent the money on to own in three different formats - vinyl, tape & CD.
Joni Mitchell’s “Court & Spark” that flows from song to song with charm and intelligence.
k.d. lang’s “Shadowland” a tribute to Patsy Cline’s style that sends shivers down my spine. What a voice!
And for the lovers of the talented but lamentably obscure, the incredible Frummox and “From Here to There”. A pair of Texas singer-songwriters, Dan McCrimmon and Steve Fromholz, whose work together and singly is legendary. (Steve wrote one of Willie Nelson’s hits, “I’d Have to Be Crazy.”)
The Replacements - Let It Be, Tim, and Pleased to Meet Me (three consecutive works of perfection)
Husker Du - New Day Rising and Flip Your Wig (yes, I even like “The Baby Song”)
The Suburbs - Credit In Heaven (which isn’t available on CD, damn damn damn)
And, just to be perverse and less Minnesota-specific,
Lou Reed - Metal Machine Music

Good Christ, that is a fine album. EVERY tune is just dandy. I just played the tune on my show this afternoon…and said the same thing.
Brad Roberts is somewhat of a doofus, but he sure can belt em out.
Albums that no one has mentioned (I can’t believe no one has brought these to the party):
Machine Head - Deep Purple (their very best album)
Classic Electric - Hot Tuna
Deja Vu - Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young
And some seconds for ones mentioned before:
Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd
Animals (often overlooked)
Led Zepplin (I) - Led Zepplin (the one with the Hindenburg on the cover)
I suppose that my age shows here, too. For those of you who sneer at “rock and roll dinosaurs”, remember that the dinosaurs ruled the earth for 100 million years…

“Frantic” by Ennio Morricone
“Under Fire” by Jerry Goldsmith
“The Russia House” by Jerry Goldsmith
And on and on.
Okay, just have a seat in the waiting room and the doctor will see you in a few minutes.
This is the album Reed made so RCA would release him from his recording contract. And it worked.
When I used to like their music, I thought Nirvana’s Nevermind was nothing but good songs…and Neon Genesis Evangelion Original Soundtrack 1 is awesome… and who can argue with John Williams and the Star Wars soundtracks, all 4 of em… 
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers Greatest hits;
Gin blossums Outside Looking In;
Queen’s Greatest hits.
All these CD’s have good songs throughout. Awsome stuff. Great songs.
