The Beatles -- Let It Be
This album was a complete mess from the start, what you've got is a crumbling band who've turned into individuals rather than members in a solid unit. All the issues, politics and bullsh*t aside I think if you break the album up in parts, you can see the group's past, present and future in the record, for example; you've got a couple skiffle/ rock 'n' roll numbers (Maggie Mae and One After 909) from their past, some Lennon/ McCartney (Two Of Us and I've Got A Feeling) classics for their present, and the individually written tracks foreshadowing each of their future solo careers (Lennon, Dig A Pony and Across The Universe, McCartney, Let It Be & The Long And Winding Road and Harrison's I Me Mine and For You Blue). In conclusion Let It Be may not be The Beatles at their best but they did perfect the art of a band wrapping it up.
The Doors
The only album that truly exemplifies the brilliance that The Doors were supposed to have! With the exception of The End, I found that their sound is more of a gothic surfer Blues rather than a psychedelic freakout.

Black Flag -- What The ...
More like What The ... f*ck were you thinking!!! C'mon Ginn are you that much of a pansy assed sh*thead that you can't just bury the hatchet and join the rest of the band in Flag? And further, do you think I listened to this piece of crap, don't f*ckin' think so, this waste of talent is up there with The Clash's Cut The Crap and The Velvet Underground's Squeeze, waitta go losers you made one of Rock 'n' Rolls biggest embarrassments! I'm going to buy the OFF! album right now!
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young -- 4 Way Street
Ya this album is pretty good ... but lets face the facts it's really just a one way street, if you catch my drift!

The Velvet Underground -- Loaded
Loaded is as if the Velvets saw where Dylan and The Band were going with Rock 'n' Roll and thought, "wow this is great, lets do our own brand of Americana" ... and dammit that's just what they did a smooth, cool, New Yorked version of pure American music!

Mudhoney -- Superfuzz Bigmuff
Definitely the undisputed kings of the Seattle sound, these guys should have been the one's to put the scene on the map, and in certain snob circles they were, their mix of loud don't give a sh*t American Hardcore and 70's stoner Blues makes most of their "grunge" contemporaries look like a bunch of ninnies!

Elton John -- Madman Across The Water
You know I always had this aversion to liking Elton John, there's just something about his cheesy, "my parents love his music," that I sometimes can't get past. But you know what, f*ck that sh*t, there might be some corny as hell moments but for the most part this is great example of 70's Classic Rock and c'mon with an opening track like Tiny Dancer how can you go wrong!
