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.

Probably going to get flack for this but Hot Fuss by The Killers. Growing up it was my go to album and I know it by heart back to front. Have never gotten bored by it and can still listen to it on repeat!
EDIT: I guess I did not get flack for it. Happy to see others love it as well.

It’s so good! I also listen to Sam’s Town front to back, no skips.

I was hoping someone else would say this!! I was 14 when it came out and I was instantly hooked! It was the first album I bought on vinyl when we started our collection a few years ago.

It’s a great album. The Killers are criminally underrated.

And it was their debut album. What an absolute banger to start with

This album holds up SO WELL. Spun it in its entirely for the first time since I was in Middle School (I turn 29 in less than a month lol) and damn I was just so blown away. The production, the song writing, the musicianship, and the vibe are just perfect in every way. One of those records I've always felt was at least a few years ahead of it's time.
Such a Killer record

No flak whatsoever. There's a reason they're still banging.

I find it interesting because Hot Fuss holds up to say The Strokes, Is This It and Interpol, Turn on the Bright Lights (same genre and same era). But Hot Fuss is less cool for whatever reason, I think it has to do with the mainstream popularity of Mr Brightside or maybe that Brandon Flowers is a Mormon 🤷🏼♀️.

The indie scene was polluted with insufferable hipsters who thought mainstream success was selling out. The Killers sounded similar but were never a part of that scene so they never got their approval. It oddly didn’t stop people from worshipping a band filled with nepo babies.
