John Lennon Plastic Ono Band Brian Eno Another Green World Kraftwerk Trans-Europe Express The Stooges Funhouse The Clash London Calling Joy Division Unknown Pleasures Serge Gainsbourg Histoire de Melody Nelson
Wow. I can't believe how no one has mentioned Bowie. Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders From Mars Heroes Low Station To Station The Idiot Houses Of The Holy Horses - Patti Smith Armed Forces The Best Of The Spinners Arrival - ABBA
i know, and i agree. i'm listening to low right now. it just missed the cut. however, you could substitute it for any i mentioned. too many great albums to choose from.

No real order: S&G: Bridge Over Troubled Waters Zep: III, IV, Houses of the Holy (I & II were '69) Fleetwood Mac: Rumours Aerosmith: Toys in the Attic Pink Floyd: Dark Side of the Moon Springsteen: Born to Run Marley: Exodus Police: Outlandos d'Amour The Who: Who's Next Probably not fair of me, but I'm just not all that into the Stones or Eagles. Should toss in Goodbye Yellow Brick Road as well.
