Me - Beatles  ;)

Toughest one yet.  I could have just as happily chosen Mingus or Jimi, but ended up with Blonde on Blonde.

A thought: London Calling is sort of the white album for punks.

yes, hard choice between it and Hendrix.  Went with Hendrix because my favorite Clash album, as a non-punk is the compilation Story of the Clash vol 1

Though I like parts of Blonde on Blonde and London Calling, I like everything on The Beatles except "number nine, number nine, number nine..." There are times when it's my favorite Beatles album.

The Beatles' White Album. I don't listen to The Beatles very often, but I acknowledge this as one of their best and easily outclasses every album here IMHO.

Where is the none of the above option? I could live easily without the ones listed here.

Yeah, we know. ::) One has to wonder why you even continue to come to these threads in the first place? Nobody here can't help that you lack taste and have such a narrow range of musical interests. My suggestion: get a hobby!

The Beatles White album, just because it was widely listened to by our gang when I was sixteen (1982), whilst smoking pot and drinking in the wild moorlands near to our hometown at weekends...  Favorite track is Rocky Raccoon.  Those were the days... 8)

You guys are all enamored with the surface sound .. the bones of this stuff isn't that vast. Eventually one says "there has to be more" ..

I much prefer "Abbey Road". But that's just me.  :)

For me, the White Album was a bit of a disappointment after what came before but I soon got used to it and learned to love it.

I like the White Album too; and there are some songs on it that just completely knock me out.  "Everybody's Got Something to Hide except Me and My Monkey", e.g.

You liked Magical Mystery Tour more than The Beatles? Or do you mean everything that came before?

I live without them. I don't even know what I am missing. I live in a different dimension where other albums and artists are relevant.

Crossfeeders reduce spatial distortion and make the sound more natural
