It's super hard to chose one favourite, but I'd probably go with XTC. In my opinion a band that are hugely underrated. The fact that they stopped touring in 1982 didn't help, they were also from Swindon and really uncool too.
Drums and Wires -1979 Black Sea - 1980 English Settlement - 1982
I love XTC, but slightly struggling to find 3 in a row I really like.
Maybe Oranges and Lemons Nonsuch Apple Venus Vol 1
or Black Sea English Settlement Mummer
or if you include The Dukes of Stratosphear 25 O'Clock Skylarking Psonic Sunspot
I never really listened to the Dukes stuff, I should really. With the exception of the Apple Venus records which I've never heard and The Big Express I love all their stuff. For me the Partridge/Moulding song writing is up there with Lennon/McCartney. The fact that they were signed to a major label between 1982 and 1992 without touring is unheard of.
Magical Mystery Tour came between Sgt Pepper and the White Album
Not really an album though…in the UK:
Magical Mystery Tour is a record by the English rock band the Beatles that was released as a double EP in the United Kingdom and an LP in the United States.
Love threads like this, some brilliant suggestions, my choices have been covered here with Led Zep, Chilli peppers, Floyd, The doors, Beatles.
Micheal Jackson was a great shout too.
For more modern stuff, I've absolutely loved every Rudimental album they've released, Home, We the Generation, Toast our Differences and their latest, Ground control.

If we're talking MJ I'll go:
Off The Wall 1978 - Speaks for itself.
Triumph 1980 (as The Jacksons) they made so many great songs, spread over multiple albums. This was the 14th.
Thriller 1982 - still the greatest selling album of all time. Never to be beaten.
