    My favorite PJ album is No Code. The best album I can think of, in terms of "changing the formula."

    Besides PJ, I'd have to say off of the top of my head:

    Bob Dylan - Another Side of.., Love and Theft

    Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's...

    The Who - Tommy..., ...By Numbers

    Doors - L.A. Women

    Pink Floyd - The Division Bell (I know, but f**k Roger, David was better)

    Rage Against the Machine - Self-Titled (nothing else they ever did could measure up to this...perfect)

    More recent:

    Kings of Leon - Youth and Young Manhood

    White Stripes - White Blood Cells

    The Strokes - First Impressions...(I know, the two others were good, too)

    Ed Ved - Into the Wild (mixed up traditional song structure to create short masterpieces)

    The Pink Spiders - Teenage Graffiti (dig it despite not being my traditional listening taste)

    Elliot Smith - In a Basement on a Hill (ashame he's gone)

    Good stuff and a great topic!

  • pjamaholicpjamaholic Posts: 1,225
    Hard to pick an absolute favourite but Vitalogy is right up there, along with Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here, and Queen's A Night at the Opera/A Day at the Races pair. I also really like Led Zepplin's Physical Graffiti although I dont actually own a copy of this album.
  • FoxwellFoxwell Posts: 142
    The Who--Who's Next
    The Kinks--Misfits

    Too many to choose from, but if forced to choose, I'd pick one of these two.

    I had an "Almost Famous" moment with my sister.

    She left behind these two classic albums as she went off to boarding school. They were my introduction to rock and roll, and I'll always be grateful.
