Probably Steely Dan "Gaucho' but Dave Grusin & Lee Ritenour "Harlequin" or ELP "Brain Salad Surgery" come close.

Led Zep "Physical Graffiti" got to be up there close as well. Hell of a journey.

Spooky II by Spooky Tooth. Gary Wright at his best. Soul, blues, rock. Awesome.
Let it bleed. Stones at their pinnacle, with Altamont thrown in.
Who's Next ('nuff said).
Led Zeppelin IV - Stairway to Heaven etc.
In the Court of the Crimson King.
Ziggy Stardust.
All the Young Dudes.
Bad Company.
Layla.

The Who's Next. Great choice. That's an album I still enjoy playing every now and then.

It has to be "Take That And Party", by Take That..... An absolute tour de force into the realms of psychedelia, love found, love lost, love regained, love and peace, world peace, peace and love, the state of the economy, the economy of shopping in Lidl, man's landing on the moon, sherbet fountains, Faust, the hot air balloon...... I could go on and on and on......
Take that and Party has it all!

Dale,
The Stones didn't do much wrong from Beggars Banquet to Exile On Main Street. Fine records.

Dale, The Stones didn't do much wrong from Beggars Banquet to Exile On Main Street. Fine records. It's interesting, while my friends were mostly Beatles fans, I lived on the dark side - Stones, Yardbirds, Animals et al. Those were the good old days, when your music and video would have expletives censored, but certain phrases now considered politically incorrect could play. Nowdays it's all backwards - the lyrics are just low-class foul language that demeans the culture, while the more interesting and colorful content is expunged lest it offend someone who just arrived from Instanbul and went on the dole. (Oh, don't mind me - I'll be good and obey...)

AND I WAS JUST ABOUT TO ORDER TAKE THAT AND PARTY !!!! On a more serious note this is a difficult one as it all depends on how I am feeling but I will offer Alarm Clock by Richie Havens, which has a sublime live version of Here Comes The Sun,and a very early Joan Armatrading album called Back To The Night which doesn't get much critical acclaim compared to her eponymous later album but which , for me , is a much more focused and engaging offering.

Let me get this straight.... you are saying that "Alarm Clock" is more progressive, aurally stimulating and engaging than Take That's "Take That And Party"? I don't believe that to be possible!

My take on it, for what it's worth is that there are some albums that are fantastic because they are just quality offerings, and some that live on because of their influence on you- when your discovery of them coincided with some special time/event in your life and provide some kind of soundtrack. I've not distinguished between the two in my thoughts below, feel free to ridicule at your leisure, remember I'm young in relative terms and many of my influences are electronic!:
Pink Floyd / The division bell Fleetwood Mac / Tango in the night Joe Satriani / Flying in a blue dream Shpongle / Tales of the inexpressible Chicane / Far from the maddening crowds (this is the one that started it for me!) Above and Beyond / Tri State DJ Shadow / Endtroducing Dire Straits / Love over gold The Temper Trap / Conditions Jose Gonzalez / Veneer
Plus god knows how many more I've forgotten!

And let me not forget BT's 'ESCM', LSG's 'Into the deep' or Hybrid's 'Wide angle' either....! (I realise that half of these will mean nothing to most people.... Shame, if you like electronic check 'em out.... stirring stuff!) Oh, and I'll add Apollo 440's 'Electro glide in blue' whilst I'm at it!

One of my favourites that would definitely be in the running for me is, Trespass by Genesis. As their first proper album, it was truly outstanding and even well recorded to boot!

I see you're a big Genesis fan, Chris. They are one of my all time favourites too. From the LP you mention, I particularly like the track Stagnation.

I take it that these are Peter Gabriel era Genesis albums? I think Invisible Touch is a cracker.

Of the later stuff I only liked their eponymous album but they certainly sold a lot more albums with chart music.
