Serious contenders:
Sgt. Pepper
Led Zeppelin IV
Personal favorites:
Daydream Nation
Moving Pictures
I would love to see a Frank Zappa album somewhere in the top 50. Is it so hard to ask?

My pic for best guitarist ever. Check out "life by the Drop" and his version of Hendrix's "Little wing". This was made posthumously by his older brother and Guitar teacher Jimmy Vaughan , who was in the Fabulous Thunderbird. Pretty good player himself too!
