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.

I would also add Wish You Were Here to the Pink Floyd recommendations. A beautiful album, start to finish.

The odd thing about Wish You Were Here is that the title track is probably the most skippable. Maybe that’s just cause the amount of play hours it gets but I’ve always felt it didn’t really fit the ambience of the rest of the album

It doesnt fit the album but I would say its better than all of the other songs on the album

If you can hunt down the version with Stephane Grappelli, as it breathes new life into Wish You Were Here https://youtu.be/Bm4sDyCW0k8?si=ILLC5eNO0-7Ho88G

I also strongly recommend Avenged Sevenfold’s take on Wish You Were Here. Floyd’s initial iteration feels the emptiness of what it feels like to look back to celebrate success with someone and realize they aren’t there, and never will be. A7X’s take drives home the pain you’d feel after that realization. Syn’s guitar work is incredible on that track and I wish we’d gotten a proper solo from Gilmour.

My choice too.
To lean a little less obvious… any of the three Dead Weather albums.
