solid

i agree with the further discussion concerning the blue album, i could go so many ways if i had to pick just three, and surf wax america shows up on a lot of them, even if it isn't one of my favorites. i guess "location, location, location" is just not for real estate.

[CheckRaise]

The Pink Floyd Animals choice is solid, some of my other favorites

Snoop Dogg - Doggystyle

Lodi Dodi
Murda was the Case
Serial Killa

RHCP - Blood, Sugar, Sex, Magic

Funky Monks
Suck My Kiss
I Could Of Lied

Obviously Illmatic qualifies here but I like this sequence off Stillmatic

Ether
Got Ur Self A...
Smokin

GZA - Liquid Swords

Liquid Swords
Duel of the Iron Mic
Living in the World Today

Wu-Tang - 36 Chambers

The Mystery of Chessboxin
Wu Tang Ain't Nothin to [censored] With
C.R.E.A.M

At the Drive-In - Relationship of Command

Rolodex Propaganda
Quarantined
Cosmonaut

[EHoffman]

Sgt. Pepper's:

With A Little Help From My Friends
Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds
Getting Better

or, as said before, Nas-Illmatic:

NY State of Mind
Life's a Bitch
The World is Yours

[firstyearclay]

Shiny Toy Guns: We are Pilots

You are the One
When they came for Us.
Chemistry of a Car Crash

Going to see them tomorrow in Oklahoma City, then New Orleans on Tuesday. Band is amazing.
