Feel like an idiot for forgetting about The Clash. Changing my vote to London Calling.

Oh man this is a hard one. Gonna go with

Lullabies to Paralyze - Queens of the Stone Age

So many in this category. Here's some "Honorable Mentions" off the top of my head
Lateralus - Tool, Life is Killing Me - Type O Negative, Live It Out - Metric, Let It Bleed - Rolling Stones, Let there Be Rock -AC/DC, Live Through This - Hole

My vote's to Modest Mouse - Lonesome Crowded West. This one may actually stand a chance.

 

This album seemed to sum up everything for me as I went through middle and high school. I lived in a weird upcoming rural area. Things were changing fast for me, and the small world I grew up in was doing the same in turn. Thing is, the way things were developing around me seemed so expansively empty, built up on faceless enterprise and branding. In a ways this made the world shrink.

I read so much with this album on repeat, so even outside myself it is a monument to memories of fictional memories. I've never been big on lyrics, so I could easily go for Lift Your Skinny Fists... or Laughing Stock or Low Level Owl, but this album I know all the words and inflections by heart. It reminds me of my father, my grandfather, developing views on religion and educational institution, and my dysphoria with everything around me then. In a way I feel I should hate it, but it is the most emotionally brilliant album I can think of.
