What’s Going On is a great album. I also have a lot of time for Supertramp and Graceland.
Stone cold classics:
David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars. Even if the album was shit, the title eclipses most other albums.
Kate Bush - The Hounds Of Love/ The Seventh Wave. A work of genius. The highest peak in the Himalayas of her canon. It sounds fresh an compelling on every listen, even if you listen five times a day.
A Wildcard.
The Boo Radleys -Wake Up boo. Ignore the title track that you already know and hate (because you’ve heard it to much on breakfast radio) and listen to what is a perfect record about loneliness, isolation, homesickness and despair, and about discovering what you always wanted doesn’t make you happy.

It can only be Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures from me.
I first listened to it around 1983, aged 15. I’d kind of followed top 40 synth pop until then, era of Duran Duran/Spandau etc. Blue Monday caught my eye, and New Order’s Power Corruption and Lies really chimed with me (a future classic nomination for sure).
I researched New Order to find if there was a back catalogue and discovered their previous incarnation as Joy Division so made Unknown Pleasures my next purchase. I expected, and hoped for something New Order-esque.
What came out of the speakers when I got home and played it completely blew my mind - never heard anything like that before. Never felt anything like that on a first listen before (or since).
It still shocks and awes today; great album cover too.

I have succumbed to the great Lord Spotify so have wall mounted that very dog eared, scratched record in my Hallway.

I’m not a big music listener, the only albums I’ve really listened to on this thread are Unknown Pleasures & Wish You Were Here.
Pretty eclectic I suppose.

I could name several more that I think are stone cold classics, but how about two by one band, Dexys: Searching for the Young Soul Rebels, and Too-Rye-Ay. I caught them live during their soul rebel phase and it was a corker of a gig.
Pity about the next album, though.
Some great calls above. Must do some investigating.
