This is almost like a 'What's your favorite album' thread, but - in the twinkle of my mind's eye - I see it as a more expansive collection of great albums. It's also rather collaborative, don't ya thunk?
The play of the field is that we - the people - add our own preferences to the list, so the end result is a collection of 500-odd albums for people to adore.
Letmebreakitdown...
No.) 'Album Name' - Artist (Favorite song from the album)
...Brief description on why it's the cheese's pickle.
In the bikini, there was pertness and it was good...
(These are in - posted - chronological order, by the by...)
1) 'Learn Yourself' - The Beautiful Girls (Music)
...Super chilled, smooth acoustic flows.
2) 'Amos Lee' - Amos Lee (Keep it Loose, Keep It Tight)
...Do you have a soul? If you like this, then you do.
3) 'The Bends' - Radiohead (High And Dry)
...Ahhhh, how could were they when they wrote tunes?
4) 'Fast Cars, Danger, Fire & Knives' - Aesop Rock (Food, Clothes, Medicine)
...Sick beats and skunky lyrics.
Begin...

Obvious choice. Probably the best hip-hop album in existence. Vast Aire's poetry provokes every emotion under the sun, and El-P creates what can only be described as a beautifully horrible soundscape. Takes your head to another dimension. I got it almost 2 years ago, and it still gets regular play.
9. Thriller - Michael "GOAT" Jackson (the girl is mine) - im disgusted none of yall mentioned this before me
10. Illmatic - Nas (the world is yours) - since deathblow already used "best hiphop album" i guess ill (have to) say this brought the EC back on the map. and yeah, it's a masterpiece. EC's pride and glory.
11. OBCL4L - Raekwon the Chef (verbal intercourse) - need i comment?
Quite unheard of band in america, but the devastating riffs combined with the incredible vocals from Marcus Bischoff, make this one of the best Melodic Death metal albums of all time.
P.S nice thread! but i doubt it will get to 500

Wasn't just Common at his best. It was Hip-Hop at its best.
