As someone else mentioned, could easily name 30, but off the top of my head…
Sex Pistols - NMTB Love - Forever Changes The Smiths - The Queen Is Dead Wire - Chairs Missing Caravan - In The Land of Grey and Pink The Cramps - Smell of Female The Damned - Machine Gun Etiquette Belle & Sebastian - The Boy With The Arab Strap The Stranglers - Black & White The Specials - The Specials Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy - Hypocrisy is the Greatest Luxury
"Lifeforms" by FSOL is worthy of consideration in my humble opinion. It's otherworldly and atmospheric yet still musical and full of twists and turns. An astonishing composition, listening to it, as I am now (on costly disc), is like being whisked away on an armchair ride through alien worlds.
Asia is a good shout but I would pick their first album. Obviously, not everyone likes AOR but it's one hell of an album.
"In the region of the summer stars" by The Enid is a cracker, an album of classically inspired prog packed with variety, in which every piece is strong and engaging..
"Things had started becoming increasingly desperate at Loftus Road but QPR have been handed a massive lifeline and the place has absolutely erupted. it's carnage. It's bedlam. It's 1-1."
Can’t believe Simple Minds have had the most mentions in this thread lol.
I love vinyl albums and have an eclectic taste: some of my favourites not already mentioned:-
Asia - Alpha King Tubbys Meets Rockers Uptown Blackstreet - Another Level Buzzcocks- Love Bites Cypress Hill - Black Sunday The Datsuns - The Datsuns Dead Kennedys - Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables Death In Vegas - The Contino Sessions Deftones - White Pony DJ Muggs & GZA - Grandmasters Earth, Wind & Fire- I Am George Michael - Older Gram Parsons - Grievous Angel Ice Cube - The Predator
Could probably name another 20-30 really.
One man’s soup is another man’s medicine Ned. With you on Death in vegas , George Michael and Buzzcocks. I
Tears for Fears - The Hurting INXS - Kick Shinedown - Attention, Attention
Great picks! I did think one of the first two TFF albums - or both - could be a contender. INXS is not my sort of thing but it's undoubtedly top quality. If that Shinedown album is better than the superb "Planet Zero," it must be quite something. I'll give it a listen.

Yep, I was struggling to choose between the first two TFF. I think I was just the right age for angst in the 80's hence The Hurting.
I've loved every Shinedown album. Planet Zero is cracking and if you like it, I think you'll love Attention, Attention. Monsters is one of my all-time favourite songs. Their breakthrough, The Sound of Madness, is also great. Enjoy : )
Enjoyed scrolling through people's choices but it's impossible for me to choose 1, 10 or even 100 albums.
However, it's very good to see a mention of the 1967 Love album 'Forever Changes' on which the song, 'Live and Let Live', has one of the most original opening lines: "Oh, the snot has caked against my pants, it has turned into crystal."
Now I’m nearly 60, I would say Solti’s Ring Cycle, but from my vinyl-buying days, a few that haven’t been mentioned… PIL - Metal Box Dexy’s Midnight Runners - Searching For The Young Soul Rebels Comsat Angels - Sleep No More Misty - Live From Counter-Eurovision 1980 Talking Heads - Fear Of Music Violent Femmes - Violent Femmes The Fall - Dragnet Orchestre Baobab - Pirate’s Choice

Apologies to DaneHoop, he called Searching for the Young Soul Rebels already. BexleyHoop…Handsworth Revolution better than Tribute To The Martyrs? Like saying Graham was the more talented of the Wilkins brothers!

Years ago I read an interview with Arthur Lee where he stated that the success of The Beatles hadn't surprised him as he had been writing songs like theirs before them!
i said one album because i knew, and me as well, would have not only 30, but 100's of albums to choose from.
but there is only one that you keep on playing, whether down, happy or got plenty of time. naming more than one is too easy......come on chaps/lassies its not that hard.
