I'm going to throw in Queens of the Stone Age - Queens of the Stone Age.  Josh Homme knows music.  Plain and simple.

Pearl Jam - Ten
John Mayer - Room For Squares

lots of good picks here, agree with a lot of them... but there's some big absences... namely Vic Chesnutt's 'Little'!, Elliot Smith's 'Roman Candle', and Kanye's 'College Dropout'; also Richard Thompson's 'Henry the Human Fly'... my personal favs would be (without really thinking through it):
 
 
Little
Grace
Dummy
Five Leaves Left
My Aim is True
Roman Candle
Velvet Underground
The Smiths
.....
also, a mention to Blonde Redhead's first album, not my favorite by any means but very good

 

[btankey]

originally I thought it was a no-brainer, since I forgot about Von... if Agaetis Byrjun was possible it would be hands down...

Counting Crows  "August and Everything After"

My 1st thoughts are: - The Doors - Santana - Are You Experienced - Black Sabbath. I'd have trouble narrowing it down to 1...

The #1 really surprised me??  GNR?  Seriously?
