I know it's heresy, but I have never been able to get next to John Coltrane (must be some deficiency in my upbringing ).

But, I have heard a little bit of Art Blakey and enjoyed him. I am going to check out these two albums.

Cannonball Adderley - Somethin' Else
The Quintet - Jazz at Massey Hall (Charlie Parker / Dizzy Gillespie / Bud Powell / Max Roach / Charles Mingus)
Thelonious Monk - Thelonious Himself

Charles Mingus - Goodbye Pork Pie Hat (live)
Charles Mingus - Pithecanthropus Erectus
Miles Davis - Bag's Groove
Charlie Parker / Dizzy Gillespie - Bird and Diz
Cannonball Adderley Quintet - Cannonball's Sharpshooters

The Eagles - Hotel California

Tom Petty - Damn The Torpedoes

Dire Straits - Love Over Gold

Beatles - Let It Be

Rick Wakeman - Journey to the Center of the Earth
ZOSO
The Cult - Sonic Temple
Marshall Tucker - Where We All Belong
Grand Funk Railroad - Caught in the Act
Yanni - Tribute (the rest of his stuff sucks, but Tribute is a great album)

Late to the party but here are a few of my favorites that I don't think have been mentioned

The Band ~ The Band

The Band ~ Music from Big Pink

Rod Stewart ~ Every Picture Tells a Story

Bob Dylan ~ Bringing it all Back Home

Amazing Rhythm Aces ~ Stacked Deck (first 4 albums belong on my list)

Guy Clark ~ Old #1 is my favorite but I like everything GC has done

Waylon Jennings ~ Honky Tonk Heroes

Willie Nelson ~ Phases and Stages

J Geils Band ~ Bloodshot

Steve Miller Band ~ The Joker

Joe Ely ~ Dig All Night or Love and Danger. Both albums are great

Billy Joe Shaver ~ Tramp on Your Street

Delbert McClinton ~ Live at Austin

Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs Derek and the Dominos

For The Last Time:Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys

Not sure about 100% greatness but for the ones that come THAT CLOSE for me (excluding compilations, soundtracks and classical works), these are a few that have been my go-tos at some point. A few of which I still will listen through every so often...

AC/DC "Highway to Hell", "Back in Black"
Johnny Cash "American Recordings", "Unearthed"
Death Angel "The Art of Dying"
U2 "Joshua Tree"
Herbie Hancock "Head Hunters"
Rod Stewart "Every Picture Tells a Story"
Jimi Hendrix "Axis: Bold as Love", "Band of Gypsys"
Dave Brubeck Quartet "Time Out"
Pearl Jam "Ten"
Randy Travis "Storms of Life"
Gin Blossoms "New Miserable Experience"
Brandon Marsalis "Royal Garden Blues"
The Rides "Pierced Arrow"
Smashing Pumpkins "Mellon Collee and the Infinite Sadness"
Pixies "Doolittle", "Bossanova"
Concrete Blonde "Bloodletting"
Metallica "Master of Puppets", "...and Justice for All"
Iron Maiden "Powerslave", "The Number of the Beast"
John Coltrane "Ballads", "Blue Train", "Giant Steps"
Ingrid Andress "Lady Like"
Soundgarden "Superunknown", "Badmotorfinger", "Ultramega OK"
Simple Minds "Once Upon A Time"

Alison Krauss "Windy City", "New Favorite"
Ice Cube "Amerikkka's Most Wanted"
Trijntje Oosterhuis "The Look of Love"

Boston (self-titled)
Tom Petty "Full Moon Fever", "Wildflowers", "Damn the Torpedoes"
Earth Wind & Fire "Gratitude", "That's the Way of the World"
Grover Washington Jr "Mister Magic", "Feels So Good"
Prong "Beg to Differ"
Alan Jackson "A Lot about Livin'" (I think; I could never remember the full name, especially after the CD case was lost)
Nirvana "Nevermind"
Husker Du "Zen Arcade", "Warehouse: Songs and Stories"...pretty much all of their early SST material

There are quite a few that I've left off and probably a ton of others that I've since forgotten, but the list is already getting too bloody long. Plus I mostly listen to compilation playlists (Spotify, Amazon Music) these days over the original albums.

I’ll go with Reign in Blood for something different. South of Heaven also.

Scorpions - Tokyo Tapes

I know it's essentially a greatest hits album but it is one of the best live albums ever in my opinion.

David & David - Boomtown
