Favourite Albums

As a little distraction for those who would welcome it, I was wondering what albums (not including compilations) everyone on here likes. Don't think this discussion has been on here for quite a few years. I'm still yet to go through my list of essential albums to listen to but my top five at present is as follows

1 - Surfer Rosa - Pixies (1988)
2 - London Calling - The Clash (1979)
3 - Purple Rain - Prince and The Revolution (1984)
4 - Horses - Patti Smith (1975)
5 - Pet Sounds - The Beach Boys (1966)

Just missing out: Tom Petty and The Heatbreakers (eponymous debut ablbum), Tonight's The NIght - Neil Young and Safe As Milk by Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band

    Thanks. Purple Rain might seem a bit random, but I love funk and soul.
