Thank god someone mentioned it. Can't you hear me knocking? has probably the dirtiest riff I've ever heard. Sister Morphine is a classic.

Some of it's from 1969. :p

Dammit. You beat me to it!

Other than that perfect album' date=' I would nominate;

1.Innervisions-Stevie Wonder

2.Grievous Angel-Gram Parsons And Emmylou Harris

3.The Modern Lovers-The Modern Lovers

4.The Clash-The Clash

5.Loaded-Velvet Underground

6.Maggot Brain-Funkadelic

7.This Year's Model-Elvis Costello

8.Sister Lovers-Big Star

9.American Beauty-Grateful Dead

10.Moondance-Van Morrison

So many other great albums to choose from...honourable mentions to Carole King's "Tapestry", Lou Reed's" Berlin", and The Wild, The Innocent And The E-Street Shuffle, by Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band. And "Horses" by Patti Smith.

Oh, And "More Songs About Buildings And Food" by Talking Heads.
