Mine is Fleetwood Mac's Rumours - not a song on there I don't mind listening to. There are so many songs on there I love such as Go Your Own Way, Silver Springs (in my opinion the greatest song of all time not to make an album first time around), The Chain and Don't Stop.
I also love other albums by FM, The Beatles (Revolver is my #1 favourite), Oasis (Morning Glory) and Manic Street Preachers.

I couldn't possibly answer. I'd have a hard time listing my 50 favorite albums, let alone one. But just a couple of great albums, in no particular order, that I think are solid from start to finish (and not even necessarily the artists' best):
David Bowie - Hunky Dory
Deep Purple - In Rock
Charles Mingus - Mingus Ah Um
Bob Dylan - Blood On The Tracks
Katie Melua - Pictures
Jackson Browne - Running On Empty
Tom Petty - Highway Companion
Dr. John - In The Right Place
John Coltrane - Crescent
Jethro Tull - Aqualung
Paul Simon - Graceland
Magna Carta - Lord Of The Ages
Eric Dolphy - Iron Man
Jean-Michel Jarre - Equinoxe
Spinvis - tot ziens, Justine Keller
Thin Lizzy - Johnny The Fox

The Doors - Strange Days (although I'd happily listen to any of them as long as it's Summer)
Tindersticks - Second Album
Bowie - Same as Queen, pick an album and I've got a story about why its the best one
Cardiacs - Sing To God
France Gall - Baby Pop / 60s EP collection
Manics - Holy Bible
Catapult - Debut / Singles Collection
Abba - probably the self titled one from '75
Devo - Maxs KAnsas
Velvet Underground - White Light / White Heat

Sooo...."Tonight", why is it Bowie's best? Extra credit if you can defend his cover of "God Only Knows".

^unless you meant the one off, Bruce, Dunway and Smith made under the moniker.
They were a great lot and I'm ashamed to say I've not looked up the old BATTLE AX yet.
LOVE IT TO DEATH is one of my top 10 ever pick me up albums.
On that note. Same stuff I've said for years

FISHBONE - GIVE A MONKEY A BRAIN AND HE'LL THINK HE'S THE CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE
