Sgt. Pepper is hard to argue with. I'm also a big fan of Lennon via Plastic Ono Band. Hotel California and Rumours are also among my favorites.
My taste in music is partly a product/cause of my close association with my "underground" radio station (it really does support hopelessly obscure music and it really is in a basement).
