Best Album/CD EVER

[cnorman18]

Just for laughs, how about we give some awards?

I propose a poll to determine the best rock/pop CD or album ever. Let's get some nominations in, say three to five each, and then I'll see if I can con somebody into doing a poll where we can each vote three (or five) times.

What I have in mind are the most innovative, groundbreaking or seminal albums or CDs ever, the ones that had the most impact on the music world. "Greatest Hits" albums and collections are OK, but I think the original works are more interesting.

Whaddaya say?

I'll start with my next post.
