Wish You Were Here was as perfect a combination of blues and rock as I can imagine. David Gilmour has the right guitar touch throughout the album. I've listened to the album some hundreds of times.
Everybody has their own favorites. Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars was an album without a bad track. Bowie was a genius and had a voice that could easily shift genres.
Bruce Springsteen's Born to Run was great from beginning to end.
If you go back farther the Jefferson Airplane's Surrealistic Pillow captured a lot of imaginations. Great group of singers and musicians.
Bob Dylan's Highway 61 revisited I could listen to over and over.
Finally I'll mention Jethro Tull's Aqualung album. It noses Thick As a Brick as the group's best work
