As a whole, Holy Diver- Dio. But there are tons of albums I love. I think my next favorite is Live in America - Jorn.

If I had to pick one album as a whole I would say my favorite Back in Black, although my favorite individual AC/DC tracks don't come off that album.

Use Your Illusion II, American Beauty, and Daft Punk's Alive 2007 are all honorable mentions. Also, I would be remiss to leave out Dark Side of the Moon, The Wall, Wish You Were Here, and Animals as I believe Pink Floyd truly defined/perfected what it means to make an album unified by a cohesive theme/concept.

If all of those tracks are actually in Iron Man 2 I just might have to rent it! Those certainly do represent some of their best.

A few of my favorites not on this list include: Whole Lotta Rosie, For Those About to Rock, DDDDC, and Touch Too Much, among others.

Allman Brothers Band, live at Filmore East. Hands down the greatest live recording ever.

Tough question. Probably Fred Neil - Fred Neil. Silk Mind by Rama IV is also up there as is Quadrophenia.
