Well, I'll give this a bash...

No order, but definitely all qualify more or less equally...

Beatles: "Sgt. Pepper" ("Revolver" is the better high point for their work, not this...this still feels incomplete/flawed to this day)

Fleetwood Mac: "Rumours" (lamelameLAME overplayed 70s cokehead drivel...hated it then, hate it now...of all of these, this is perhaps the most overrated)

Guns and Roses: "Appetite for Destruction" (nothing in here that loads of other people didn't do better previously...G'n'R just had better publicists)

Nirvana: "Nevermind" (again, not their best work, just best-hyped...another instance of 'breakthru' being confused with 'legendary' status)

Led Zeppelin: "IV" (same here..."IV" gets all the props due to "Stairway", but other albums have stronger work despite the fact that "IV" is perhaps the most consistent of the bunch)

Beach Boys: "Pet Sounds" (it's nice enough, but clearly a flawed work, mainly due to the usual meddling Brian Wilson's work received)

Pink Floyd: "Dark Side of the Moon" (again, another played-out relic, well-sold but not as good as others of theirs...further minuses for self-indulgence)

Yes: "Fragile" (more overplayed self-indlugence...and yet again, other work of theirs ultimately overshadows this, as do other works in the prog genre)

Bob Dylan: "Nashville Skyline" (got loads of props for being an initial 'crossover' breakthru, but now just sounds like some sort of novelty riff, honestly)

The Clash: "London Calling" (was one of the first breakthrus for punk in the USA, but The Clash did better and certainly more interesting work both studio and live)
