The white album--The Beatles
London Calling -- the Clash

Talkin' Timbuktu -- Ry Cooder
Music from Mali -- various artists
The London Sessions -- B B King
What's Goin' On -- Marvin Gaye
A Man and the Blues -- Buddy Guy
or how about
All Hands on the Bad One -- Sleater Kinney
Pottymouth -- Bratmobile
Music From Big Pink -- the Band
Help -- the Beatles again

I prefer 45s and 78s to 33s so I will list my favorite groups or artists instead of albums:
