136 (tie). Ride the Lightning – Metallica (173 points)

Ride the Lightning is the second studio album by the American heavy metal band Metallica, released on July 27, 1984, by the independent record label Megaforce Records. The album was recorded in three weeks with producer Flemming Rasmussen at Sweet Silence Studios in Copenhagen, Denmark. The artwork, based on a concept by the band, depicts an electric chair being struck by lightning flowing from the band logo. The title was taken from a passage in Stephen King's novel The Stand, in which a character uses the phrase to refer to execution by electric chair.
Literally my last cut. #71 on my extended list and I didn't feel good about leaving it off. I don't think @Dan Lambskin and me have many overlapping taste, but also agree with his choice of "The Call of Ktulu." Either my first or second favorite Metallica song, depending on the day.
My list is pretty metal heavy, but overall I have pretty eclectic taste. Metal, rock, pop, folk, country, bluegrass, jam, blues, rap. Can even do a little techno
There’s definitely a handful of popular/ well respected bands I don’t care for but the only genre im really not a big fan of is R&B type stuff. I can tolerate it but not really something I seek out

mostly @krista4 I think that the albums I've listed are a fairly good resperestation of the KIND of music I like. It should go without saying that there are tons of bands/songs that I do like that aren't listed since this is album list and not a band/song list. My lack of matches is more due to me not listing many rather than having a bad taste in music though I likely have that too.

The Last Waltz is the second live album by the Band, released on Warner Bros. Records in 1978, catalogue 3WS 3146. It is the soundtrack to the 1978 film of the same name, and the final album by the original configuration of the Band. It peaked at No. 16 on the Billboard 200.
The triple album documents the Band's "farewell" concert which took place at Bill Graham's Winterland Ballroom on Thanksgiving Day 1976. The event included an actual Thanksgiving dinner for 5,000 attendees, with ballroom dancing and a stage set for La traviata borrowed from the San Francisco Opera.

Court and Spark is the sixth studio album by Canadian singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell. Released by Asylum Records in January 1974, it infuses the folk rock style of her previous albums with jazz elements.
It was an immediate commercial and critical success—and remains her most successful album. It reached No. 2 in the United States and No. 1 in Canada and eventually received a double platinum certification by the RIAA, the highest of Mitchell's career.

I guess I had five soundtracks. I'm not sure how I thought I had only two. Anyway, this one, Buena Vista Social Club (previously revealed), Hedwig and the Angry Inch (will not be on the list), and two more that I'm sure will come up later.
This is just an incredible live album with so many performers at their peak. I'm partial to The Weight here, but of course it's up to turnjose.

I appreciate how everyone had their own approach … only one album per band, soundtracks/no soundtracks, live/ no live, etc. I omitted soundtracks and live albums for some reason. I know they were allowed but I just didn’t feel comfortable putting them in over a “true” album. This really allows for such a wide variation of the lists. This thread is going to keep me entertained with new music for a couple of years!

131 (tie). Odessey and Oracle – The Zombies (178 points)
@landrys hat #5
@Mookie Gizzy #20

Odessey and Oracle is the second studio album by the English rock band the Zombies. It was released on 19 April 1968, by CBS Records in the UK and on 15 July 1968, by Date Records in the US. The album was recorded primarily between June and August 1967 at EMI (now Abbey Road Studios) and Olympic Studios in London.
The Zombies, having been dropped from Decca Records, financed these sessions independently. After signing with CBS, two singles and later the album itself were released to critical and commercial indifference, and the band quietly dissolved. A third single from the album, "Time of the Season", became a surprise hit in the United States in early 1969 after CBS staff producer Al Kooper recommended it be released on Date Records.

My problem in general is that I really have never been an "album" guy, unless I really like an artist. I didn't think it would be fair for example to rank "Off the Wall" even though I think it's clearly a great album. But I never owned it, I have only listened to it all the way through maybe once or twice. I have heard the hits from it countless times of course, and if I were trying to rank greatest albums of all time I'd probably have it top 70. But as it is, my goal was to rank only albums that I myself owned or have listened to enough to consider it one of MY greatest albums. The Last Waltz really wouldn't even qualify if it weren't for the movie tbh.I whiffed on this one, should have included it and just forgot.135. The Last Waltz – The Band (174 points)

131 (tie). Achtung Baby – U2 (178 points)
@Mookie Gizzy #13

@Dwayne_Castro #46
Achtung Baby (/ˈɑːxtʊŋ/ AHKH-toong) is the seventh studio album by the Irish rock band U2. It was produced by Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno, and was released on 18 November 1991 by Island Records. After criticism of their 1988 documentary film and album Rattle and Hum and a sense of creative stagnation, U2 shifted their direction to incorporate influences from alternative, industrial, and electronic dance music into their sound. Thematically, Achtung Baby is darker, more introspective, and at times more flippant than their previous work. For his lyrics, lead vocalist Bono was partly inspired by the failed marriages of two friends, including U2's guitarist the Edge.

The last time the world’s biggest rock band reinvented themselves to the extent U2 did with Achtung Baby was when the Beatles did with (insert what you think their pivotal album is here).
Almost every mainstream rock band followed suit with the production style. My friend and I would call such albums “Achtunged.”

Though the following two weren't considered the world's biggest rock bands, but they were both very popular, the Bee Gees successfully reinvented themselves in the mid-70s, and Aerosmith did the same in the late 80s.

As much as I love The Last Waltz I think the album has too much filler. The movie edits the songs down and is better IMO.
Absolute highlights: “Coyote”, “Dry Your Eyes” (one of the best Diamond tunes ever, co-written by Robbie), “Caravan”, “Helpless” (backup vocals by Joni are sublime) and most of all “The Weight” with the Staples. So good.

Pretty Hate Machine is the debut studio album by the American industrial rock band Nine Inch Nails, released by TVT Records on October 20, 1989. Frontman Trent Reznor sang and performed most of the instruments, also producing the album alongside Keith LeBlanc, John Fryer and Flood, with a few other contributors.
The album features a heavily synthesizer-driven electronic sound blended with industrial and rock elements. Much like the band's later work, the album's lyrics contain themes of angst, betrayal, and lovesickness. The record was promoted with the singles "Down in It", "Head Like a Hole", and "Sin", as well as the accompanying tour. A remastered edition was released in 2010.
