I have to say that a lot of my albums which I consider "fully-realized" were albums that I listened to when I was young because my parents listened to them. These include:
Phil Collins - No Jacket Required
Heart - Heart
Yes - Classic Yes
Yes - Big Generator
Yes - 90125
The Beatles - Abbey Road
Allman Brothers - Eat A Peach
Led Zeppelin - I
Led Zeppelin - II
Led Zeppelin - III
Led Zeppelin - IV
Led Zeppelin - Houses of the Holy
Alice In Chains - Dirt
Stone Temple Pilots - Core
Stone Temple Pilots - Purple
Robert Plant - Nirvana
Robert Plant - Now & Zen
Pearl Jam - Ten
Peter Gabriel - Shaking the Tree
REM - Automatic for the People
REM - Monster
And albums I consider "fully-realized" which I cannot attribute to my parents:
Oasis - (What's the Story) Morning Glory?
Third Eye Blind - Third Eye Blind
The Verve - Urban Hymns
Weezer - The Blue Album
Guster - Lost and Gone Forever
Ben Folds Five - Whatever and Ever Amen
Norah Jones - Come Away With Me
Green Day - Dookie
Live - Throwing Copper
Bush - Sixteen Stone
Howie Day - Australia
Ironically, I don't consider any of the albums of my two favorite bands (DMB and OAR) to fall into this grouping. DMB has a few that come close for me, but I guess I just prefer their live renditions so much that their studio albums always fall short in my mind. If this was a Best Live Album thread, however, my list would probably include a vast majority from these two bands.
