that could make a good thread…

Throwing Muses - the untitled 1986 one
Beatles - the white one
bDylan/th'Band - the basement one
Aurora Paralysis - the blue one
Beach Boys - pet sounds ("i'm waiting for the day" vs. The Godspeed! Discography: discuss…)

Throwing Muses - the untitled 1986 one

seems a little out of place with your other choices but excellent nonetheless - probably in my top 5 as well

ok, these are the ones I keep going back to year after year

A House 'I Am The Greatest'
The Fat Lady Sings 'Twist'
The The 'Mind Bomb'
The Boo Radleys 'Giant Steps'
Pixies 'Surfer Rosa'
Primal Scream ' Screamadelica'
Afghan Whigs 'Gentlemen'
Stone Roses 'Stone Roses'
Throwing Muses 'Throwing Muses'

i'm rather hesitant to show my list but here goes:

1. Pink Floyd- The Wall
Simply the best album I've ever heard.

2. Beatles- Revolver
Without Revolver, Sgt. Peppers and White Album wouldn't have possible.

3. Michael Jackson- Thriller
This album is so good that I'm willing to forgive Michael for any crazy thing he has done or will do.

4. Primus- Sailing the Seas of Cheese
Just an album you can listen to straight through.

5. The Who- Who's Next
Ditto.

Almost made it:
black sabbath- paranoid
pink floyd- dark side of the moon
nirvana- in utero
sex pistols- nevermind the bollocks
bob dylan- blood on the tracks
GNR- appetite for destruction
rage's first album
black flag- damaged
public image ltd.- compact disc/ metal box
