I anticipate a metric ton of "best of" albums, but I'll give it try avoiding that. In no particular order:

Billy Joel - the Stranger
Genisis - Genisis
Beach Boys - Pet sounds
the Beatles - Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band
Muse - Resistance
Rush - Permananent Waves
Radiohead - OK Computer
Boston - Boston
Fleetwood Mac - Rumours
Linda Ronstadt - What's New (that will throw a few folks off the trail)

Linda Ronstadt - What’s New (that will throw a few folks off the trail)

Not really, your tastes are very similar to mine. Although "What's New" was just a gateway drug and now my music library is full of albums by Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald, Anita O'Day, Carmen McRae, Joao Gilberto, Frank Sinatra and more.

Oh and updating my own list because I listened to it this weekend - Songs in the key of life, Stevie Wonder
