Bruce Springsteen - The Wild, The Innocent, and The E St Shuffle

Thank you. Near the top of my too-lengthy list. The album doesn't get a hundredth of the accolades it deserves.

It really is a great album, it's so much different from both the previous Greetings...and the follow-up BTR
with wonderful composed songs - Incident on 57th St, NY serenade, Sandy, Kitty's Back.... etc
In a much looser form & wider spaces than anything he's done since.

 

[unforgettableFOXfire]

Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers - Full Moon Fever
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Blood Sugar Sex Magik
Queen - the Works
Zeppelin - any one of IV, Houses of the Holy, Physical Grafitti... has to be at least one in there.
U2 - Joshua Tree, it has to be... but for the record, my favourite album is Pop... but there's no denying the awesomeness that is JT.
Motorhead - Overkill
Iron Maiden - Number of the Beast

After that, the rest starts to become filler...

Those are in order of priority, also. Can't live without Tom Petty.

U2 - War
Bowie - Space Oddity

Radiohead - Kid A/OK Computer
Queen - A Night at the Opera
Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness/Siamese Dreams
The 'Garden State'/'Batman Forever'/'Wedding Singer' soundtracks
