This is one of only a handful of flawless albums I've ever heard. I'm not even a fan of country rock, but this album is absolutely friggin' class.

That's a mostly crap list by Rolling Stone, btw.

Maybe that's partly because it's geared towards the type of music that Rolling Stone likes. People are not being asked to believe that the Beatles produced the greatest album ever, just within a particular set of genres. Inclusion of the occasional token blues or jazz or rock and roll man in a relatively low position says more about the interests of the magazine than about the merits of those artists.
 
A few I don't think anyone else mentioned

Springsteen - Born in the USA
Simon and Garfunkel - Bridge over troubled water
Paul simon - graceland
manic street preachers - the holy bible
Bonde do Role - with lasers
foo fighters - colour and the shape
Prodigy - fat of the land

More of a compilation but The Who - The Greatest Hits is brilliant. I recommend it to all.
 
Daft Punk - Homeowork (House/??)
Daft Punk - Invincible (Dance/Pop/??)
