Rolling Stones - let it bleed
Blur - parklife
Brockhampton - saturation III
Tyler the creator - flower boy
Fleetwood mac - rumours
Gorillaz- the now now
Mgmt - oracular spectacular
Nwa - straight outta Compton
Neutral milk hotel - in the aeroplane over the sea
Queen - a night at the opera
Stone roses - stone roses
Suede - suede

what the actual fuck, lol

Also, even ignoring Gorillaz, i disagree with most of those

recently i was listening to a couple of artists who may fit original posters criteria- 1 great album.

Aldo Nova- Aldo Nova his first album is really really good. His guitar work is mentionable

Billy Squier - Dont Say No Great album. Footnote: i do not own/or have listened to his entire work. i know 4 albums very well. But "Dont Say No" is really fantastic. High school math teacher turned rock musician has a cool tale to it as well.

Comment: I find, that the level of music credibility, is questionable when i read members comments that suggest the rolling stones only produced 1 or 2 good albums, or many good songs. Really Unbelievable.

Gonna copypaste some stuff I said in a different thread about the only Fleetwood Mac album I genuinely enjoy:

Tango In The Night by Fleetwood Mac

The best/potentially only consistently tolerable Fleetwood Mac record. Which sounds like faint praise, but I really do love this album, whilst simultaneously hating most everything else they ever did. The production is so crystalline and enveloping - Buckingham has a lot to be proud of here. It's dreamy yet muscular, and it really turns some already strong pop songs into utter masterpieces of the form. I also feel like the vague lyrical nature - pseudo-universal themes of big love, found everywhere if possible - suits this sound better than their well-worn, on again/off again sagas would've, working in synthesis with the cavernously reverbed percussion, sparkling synths and clipped jabs of bright guitar to create something huge, which the group had admittedly managed previously, and hopeful, which they very much hadn't. I understand the most frequent criticisms of this album, that it's too sonically ersatz and lyrically wishy-washy, but I instead find them to be this record's greatest strengths, and the greatest strengths of the one version of Fleetwood Mac that I can actually get behind.

That first Aldo Nova album was indeed special, but I never could gag down anything Billy Squier ever did.

I like the hits of Billy Squier other than "Rock Me Tonight" since i can't seem to wash that music video from my memory

Another austrilian band which has a great album and many good albums is

Midnight oil. Diesel and Dust. This album is absolutely brilliant from start to finish. And it rocks!

I have listened to their other live/studio productions, and they have created many fantastic songs, but
they have not been able, unfortunately, to duplicate the success of "diesel and dust".
