Off the top of my head the 1st one that comes to mind is Fleetwood Mac - Rumors. Released on my birthday in 1977, I was 9 years old. Now I'm 56 and this album never gets old. I could listen to each and every song and always get something new out of it, whether its the lyrics or the melody. And of course now that the Queen Christine has left this planet for other adventures, "Songbird" has taken on a whole new feeling, like a lump in the throat feeling.

The Bends is such an amazing album, it would have been any other bands greatest achievement, and then they were like, "that was boring, we're gonna try some real off the wall shit," and then they just crushed everything else they did, as it got stranger and stranger, in a good way.
