The Sweet - Greatest Hits, Desolation Blv
Heavy Metal the movie - Soundtrack
Journey - Greatest Hits

I purposefully left off greatest hits and singles comps - like The Cure's Galore, The Smiths - The World Won't Listen, etc.... but if we're going there:

Squeeze - 45's and Under

I'd also say The Police's Synchronicity is perfect except for that god awful "Mother" track.
 
Thats a Joke ................ right :confused

Nope. I'm a HUGE MJ fan, the kind that feels that a bit of music itself died the day he did, but, although the collaborative efforts of Quincy Jones, Rod Temperton, and MJ were lightning in a bottle for Thriller, record sales aside, I can't make myself say that Thriller is definitely better. Bad was MJ in full stride. Admittedly, I didn't come to this conclusion until a few years ago, but now, I hold them both in very high regard.
 
No Beatles album - even though they're the greatest band of all time - because there's always one duff Macca or Starr novelty or cover that needs skipping.

Forever Changes - Love

Let It Bleed - Rolling Stones

Soundtracks - Can

Hunky Dory - David Bowie

Aladdin Sane - David Bowie

Days of Future Passed - The Moody Blues

Talking Book - Stevie Wonder

The Piper at the Gates of Dawn - Pink Floyd



Oh, hang on, I've got to go do something. I'll finish this tomorrow.
 
Depeche Mode - Violator
Adam & the Ants - Kings of the Wild Frontier
Prince - Lovesexy
Kiss - Alive!
Kiss - Love Gun
Kiss - Destroyer
Daft Punk - Discovery
Tubeway Army - Replicas
Gary Numan - Telekon

Im with you 100%. Bad is perfect - you have to toss "michael jackson's Number Ones" in the mix - along with The Jacksons greatest hits. Prince - the best for you, Motown: the soul collection, INXS: Listen Like Theives, Boston's first album and ELO: Everything is yours.
 
Don't even get me started on MJ. Pure genius, man...

Oh, I totally forgot Boston's first album. It was like a parade of hits that they sadly never quite followed up with. The first album is the only Boston album I can stomach, and I enjoy Scholz!
