In my mind there is a distinction between an album and a CD. A CD is a physical object, something created by a machine that contains some semblance of music. Quality of music can be debated etc.
Albums, on the other hand, are masterpiece CDs. Things that are so amazing that they cannot possibly be lumped in together with other music CDs and are almost transcendent in their quality. This list is not debatable, since anyone with an iota of music taste will agree with me on their quality, whether or not they agree as to their universal appeal is a fact to be debated. These are masterpieces and in no particular order.
1) Rage Against the Machine - Self Titled
2) Sufjan Stevens - Come On Feel the Illinoise!
3) Cake - Fashion Nugget
4) Rolling Stones - Let It Bleed
5) Public Enemy - It Takes A Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back
6) The Beatles - White Album
7) Metallica - The Black Album
8) DC Talk - Jesus Freak
9) The Clash - London Calling
10) Elton John - Madman Across the Water
11) Lauryn Hill - Unplugged
12) Nirvana - Nevermind
13) System of a Down - Toxicity
14) Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness
15) Dr. Dre - The Chronic (2001)
16) Sublime - Self Titled
17) AC/DC - Live
18) Black Sabbath - We Sold Our Soul For Rock and Roll
19) Beck - Odelay
20) Stevie Wonder - Innervisions
I may add more, but 20 seems like a good round number. Happy Shopping :)
