I loved the first Joe Jackson album - still sounds good today.

Stone Roses, Artic Monkeys and Oasis all have a shout here. Maybe not the greatest of all time, but many people’s favourites. I also love youth and young manhood by Kings of Leon
This.
Starting your debut album with Welcome to the Jungle is a hell of a way to kick off.
Bat Out of Hell has to be worth a mention too.

Joao Pedro up-front, and Elvis Manu in reserve then

Not sure anyone in 1971 would have predicted the musical longevity of the Mael brothers.
Despite releasing over 25 albums this one remains my favourite

I think I'd have to say The Best of The Beatles.

Okay, she was born and raised in my hometown... Okay, this is technically her international debut...But there is not a more représentative Gen X album than Jagged Little Pill. Nearly every track was sonically experimental in some way and charted as a single. The lyrics are intensely personal and relatable, -- like our fellow Canadian Joni Mitchell's, our parents' own innovative, genre-busting soul-bearer. It's one of the most influential and best-selling albums in history for a reason. It's even inspired a long-running,, globally successful musical that touches and inspires all generations, including my teenage daughters.
PROOF? Here's the whole enchilada. Rock-grunge-pop perfection.

I think this was compulsory for undergrads in the 80s. Songs of Leonard Cohen, just what you need for reflective moments
