There has been some ace suggestions so far, and I know I'm going to repeat some of them, but hey ho

love - forever changes...
love - love
neil young - after the gold rush (allthough harvest would also be good)
dexies - searching for the young soul rebels
gram parsons gp/grievous angels (its far easier to get hold of the two albums as one now
joy division - that album that was done for RCA but canned (but it leaked out to record fares, and now the internet)
Benjemin Britten's War Requiem (not strickly an album, but its a memorial to war by a pacifist, and beautiful)
James Carr - You Got My Mind Messed Up
Van Morrison -astral weeks
spacemen 3 - Playing with Fire
aretha franklin - amazing grace

erm, more later

 

[monsterbunny]

Any Jayhawks album, preferably all of them, and No Depression by Uncle Tupelo. Bramble Rose by Tift Merritt.

The Stone Roses first album.
Boxer by The National.
His Hands by Candi Staton.
Apologies to the Queen Mary by Wolf Parade.

That'll do for now.

[The_Reverend_M]

Yeah, that was such a wicked album. I got his other one, i forget what it's called, and it was just straight up hip hop. Like a new take on old school shit, but then beauty and the beat was mind blowing - probably the best hip hop album since the turn of the century.

Totally agree

[isvicthere?]

rubbish rubbish record, (Dark side of the moon) rubbish cover, rubbish band.

but it's a bit of a marmite one that eh?

I know popular opinion is no barometer, but... since it's the second best selling album of all time worldwide, an awful lot of people go for that particular "Marmite".

 

[miniGMgoit]

The best Album Ive heard in years is by Brightblack Morning Light
Its absolutly amazing.

 

[A Dashing Blade]

Very hard to find (hint: Google advanced search site or domain = blogspot.com), but I've currently got Ray Conniff - The Lost Dub Sessions (1977) on heavy rotation at Blade mansions.
