nice list but I personally would replace Blink and guns n roses with Metallica- Master/Justice for all and probably Soundgarden- Superunknown and Down on the upside

Badmotorfinger/Superunknown would suit my tastes.

Yes! Great albums.

I think this is an impossible choice that for me would vary based upon my mood. Other people have brought a ton of album combos I also find great, but what I do know is that I am thankful for these amazing artists and their music. Now, I am going to start spinning some of these back to back

That's tough. I'd go with No Code/Yield.

If that had been the PJ option, I would have chosen it.

I also think that the poll is lacking because of no Led Zeppelin option!

Scruffy said he's never heard Led Zeppelin.

Get outta town! Not really, right?

I know the main songs but have never listened to any of their albums. 

Me either.  I'm not into their sound.

Paging 'Unpopular Options' thread. Really tho...no Led Zep?!?

Pink Floyd - Dark Side/Wish You Were Here

Led Zeppelin - II/III

I have never listened to any of these albums. I feel ashamed. 

I'm actually jealous. If there was 4 albums that I could totally forget and listen to again for the first time to discover their utter genius, then those 4 wouldn't be too far from the top of my list.

Few more suggestions:

Zep 4 > Houses of the Holy 
Sticky Fingers > Exile on Main Street (Stones)
Achtung Baby > Zooropa (U2)
On The Beach > Tonight's The Night (Neil)

I'd argue that Vs. packs as good or better a 1-2 punch w/ Vitalogy than it does w/ Ten

A few other 1-2s to add to those already mentioned:
Public Enemy: ITANOMTHUB ---> Fear of a Black Planet
The Black Crowes: SHAMC ---> Amorica
The National: High Violet ---> Trouble Will Find Me
Jason Isbell: Southeastern ---> Something More Than Free
Rolling Stones: pick 'em...Beggars/Let It Bleed/Sticky/Exile
Radiohead: Ok Computer ---> Kid A

I've never understood the love for the National as "great" albums/great music.  The music is good but it never made me want to jump up and down.  It's like Joy Division, great music but you aren't raving up and down to it...

They're on the melancholy side, no doubt, but there's some subtle rockers in there too. Bloodbuzz Ohio is where I hopped on their train and definitely gets the blood flowing. 

Tom Petty: Wildflowers ---> She's the One
ATCQ: The Low End Theory ---> Midnight Marauders
Van Morrison: Moondance ---> Tupelo Honey
Michael Jackson: Off the Wall ---> Thriller
Lynryd Skynyrd: Pronounced ---> Second Helping

You need to pick one immediately or else I am sending you a Kris kross  tape in the mail. 

Haha! If you really have a Kriss Kross tape yet that is amazing. Funny story, for our 7th grade variety show our home room decided we would lip sync to Jump, Jump. I was one of the singers and we wore hoodies and some baggy pants while we had dancers in the background "jumping". Good times.

For heavy metal I would add Slayer Reign in Blood/South of Heaven/Seasons in the Abyss. I love those 3 albums.

Of the options listed, Pearl Jam stands at the top for me. The Beatles would be a clear second. Throw in some of the other combos mentioned and I'd have a hard time deciding, but I definitely have listened to the Pearl Jam combo the most. Metallica or Soundgarden would probably be 2nd for me with a few of their combos.

most of my favs have been mentioned but ill add to it

Def Leppard - Pyromania - Hysteria
Van Halen - VH I and VH II
