That One Album

Clarkson once said that Who's Next is the only album where he enjoys every single tune on it...
Yet on the telly show with Danny Baker he plumped for 'Crime of the Century' by Supertramp as the apogee of rock albums (although Who's Next was his first purchase apparently).I'd plump for Breakfast in America by Supertramp - still have it in the car and although the slower tracks are not my preference they are still acceptable, and show what the band can do.
And that album cover as well - needs to be 12" to do it justice.

Agree with some of the others, Rust in Peace is perfect, as is Seventh Son. Pink Floyd Wish you were here?
It puzzles me that people consider albums 'favourites', as in their top 10/20 or whatever, where they even consider skipping tracks?
I've read similar before, not necessarily on here, along the lines of 'Yeah it's a really great album, there's only a couple of filler tracks that I skip'?? I'm sure my standards and preferences are different (not higher/lower) to many, but I'd be surprised in my top 200 albums I would skip a track, nevermind a top 25 or whatever. Yes there's often going to be standout tracks, it might not be because they're 'better' but down to an association of it being the first off the album you heard, or something attached to that track personally or whatever.
Anyway, an obvious few from me:
Prodigy - Music for the Jilted Generation
Slayer - Reign in Blood, Seasons in the Abyss
Mayhem - De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas
Burzum - Hvis Lysett Tar Oss
Paradise Lost - Icon
Satyricon - The Shadowthrone, Nemesis Divina
Faith No More - From Out Of Nowhere
Mgla - With Hearts Towards None
Darkthrone - Transilvanian Hunger
