Wow, what a broad question. Seriously, there are too many that I like to list, and it's hard to rank. I can name some of my favorites of my favorites that I can't stop listening to, though.

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Blub Band by The Beatles

There Is Nothing Left To Lose by Foo Fighters

Backspacer by Pearl Jam

Stunt by Barenaked Ladies

The Captain & Me by Doobie Brothers

Desperado by Eagles

Axis: Bold As love by Jimi Hendrix Experience

Nevermind by Nirvana

Straight Outta Lynwood by "Weird Al" Yankovic

Anyone who considers himself a hardcore music fan should give that last one a serious listen; Weird Al is a real artist, not just some novelty act.

Here's the album graph for my brother and I's last.fm account.

Last.fm Album cloud for ClassicRock290

A lot of greatest hits albums there, but some gems too.

Blizzard Of Ozz by Ozzy Osbourne

Temple Of The Dog by Temple Of The Dog

Trash by Alice Cooper

Holy Diver by Dio

Hysteria by Def Leppard

Paranoid by Black Sabbath

British Steel by Judas Priest

Mafia by Black Label Society

Them Crooked Vultures by Them Crooked Vultures

The first time I heard a song by Black Label Society, Iwas blown away by how great the band was. It's a shame they are never played on the radio.
