Beefheart, of course.

Wish it was a different Beefheart, but this'll do.

This would be my second choice, strangely enough, but that Replacements album, while polished and shiny, still does it for me and has for a long time.

Sgt. Peppers, I seriously don't get why this continually gets ranked so high. Hippie critics, I guess.

Same here. That was my intro point for The Replacements in my formative years. Still a solid record.

While I appreciate Sgt. Pepper I rarely have the urge to listen to it.

I should check out that Beefheart at some point.

Not my favorite Beatles album (or in the top 3, even), but that's what I went with.

Beatles.
Although I do love that Richard Thompson album. Mitchell Froom could do very little wrong throughout the 90's.

For me, the chasm between expectation and delivery is massive. I distinctly recall a palatable sense of disappointment after hearing it for the first time, after seeing it ranked in critics' polls as among the greatest albums ever recorded. I'm not saying it's terrible, just baffling. Also probably spawned some terrible trends in rock.

Dire Straits. A perfect album front to back.

As a kid making my way through all of the latter Beatles albums, it was never one of my favorites.

"A Day in the Life" could arguably be the best thing they ever recorded, but it kind of exists in its own little world at the end of the album.

I did the opposite. In elementary school I started buying beatles records with my allowance money, without knowing much about each one before-hand. At some point I happened to get Pepper's, and while it was really different, I still liked it alot.

The Mats, even though I like PTMM less these days.

I really don't like Sgt. Pepper and while I like RT and Dire Straits, I haven't heard those two.

I voted Beatles in this one for once, but probably should have abstained.

Although Sgt. Pepper is one of my fave Beatles records, PTMM is one of my top five records of all time.

'Mats

Mats and Beatles are both just not what tug my chain these days.
