Hard to pick one or even a dozen. I came of age listening to albums and didn't move the needle that much. Even now when choosing a CD I tend to listen all the way through. I agree with many already mentioned, I'll add a couple I bring out more often than others. Abraxas -Santana and Crosby Stills and Nash.
Your (perfect) record
I have a few in mind but just finished listening to Brian Ferry "Boys and Girls" and I have to say..Awesome! this one gets my vote!
