My favorite?

Naturally. I love how this album encompasses such a wide variety of influences from different genres and showcases not only how far the band had come together musically from their early days, but how flexible they were and their willingness to come up with new things.

Others include... Electric Ladyland, Live at the Greek, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, Quadrophenia, Frampton Comes Alive, The Wall... etc etc etc.

I'll have to think of more when I'm not exhausted.
