Exile is solid. Would be me 1st choice, but since it has been taken, I'll submit Honkey Tonk Heroes by the late great Waylon Jennings

Van Halen -- Runnin' with the Devil (debut)


Immediately thought of this when I saw the thread title. Still remember the first time I heard it when an older kid played the album. Blew me away. Then fricking Eruption came on. What is happening?

I've been on a ZZ Top kick lately. I was watching an interview with Josh Homme talking about how Gibbons was a huge influence on him. When you listen to Eliminator, you can totally hear it. That album is pretty bad arse.
