[DrChristianTroy]

Nas- Illmatic
One of, if not my absolute, favorite albums. I know it's totally Hip Hop Head 101 but to me it's perfect. Can listen to it over and over again.

Notorious BIG- Ready to Die
Dr. Dre- The ChronicWu-Tang Can- Enter the 36 Chambers
50 Cent- Get Rich or Die Trying
The Game- The Documentary
Ghostface Killah- Ironman
Raekwon- Only Built 4 Cuban Linx

I'm sure there are a grip more but these are what came to mind immediately.

[CWCissey]

Others I can think of:

Queen - Queen
Shinedown - Leave a Whisper
Metallica - Kill 'Em All
Slayer - Show No Mercy
Tool - Undertow

 

[AnOminous]

This. Absolutely fantastic. Unfortunately, the following albums didn't live up to it except sporadically.

 

[Bogs]

Spoiler: The Smiths -- Troy Tapes

Basically the first attempt of their debut album, I find the songs sound much better here, more akin to Hatful of Hollow than their debut

Spoiler: Fountains of Wayne

Spoiler: Modern Lovers/Jonathan Richman

Spoiler: The Muffs

Spoiler: Wu-Tang Clan

If what you say is true, the Wu-Tang could be dangerous

Spoiler: Beastie Boys

Every Friday night

Spoiler: Big Star

They got a bit too "weird" once Chris Bell left

Spoiler: The Clash

Probably peanuts compared to London Calling

Spoiler: The Police

 

[WaterMoccasin]

Besides Appetite for Destruction, the first Led Zeppelin album, Kill 'Em All, the first Stone Roses album, and Definitely Maybe, I wanted to include Kenickie's At the Club, but I could not find what I wanted on it. Anyway...

Spoiler: The Ramones- The Ramones

Spoiler: The Stooges- The Stooges

Spoiler: Pavement- Slanted and Enchanted

Spoiler: The New York Dolls- The New York Dolls

I'm not sure if anyone else has mentioned this one...

Spoiler: Nick Drake- Five Leaves Left

I'll probably think of others later.

I totally agree with you. I never get old of that album. I like Nas' other albums, but nothing beats Illmatic for me.

As for my list.

Greatest IDM/Glitch album of all time, IMO.

Spoiler: Telefon Tel Aviv - Fahrenheit Fair Enough

Another IDM favorite of mine. IDK if this counts since they released some EPs and had some unreleased material leaked, but this is their first LP.

Spoiler: Boards of Canada - Music Has a Right to Children

Awesome Trip-Hop album.

Spoiler: Zero 7 - Simple Things

There are many more albums I could list but I'm feeling a little lazy at the moment.

 

[Amo Bishop Roden]

Well shit then
Odessey and Oracle is still awesome, despite not actually being their first

 

[Gordon Cole]

Turn on the Bright Lights by Interpol is still a stone-cold classic.

 

[Dolphin Lundgren]

Stone Temple Pilots- Core
Sheila Nicholls- Brief Strop
Static X- Wisconsin Death Trip
Portishead- Dummy
Fiona Apple- Tidal
Bjork- Debut
Poe- Hello
