London Calling, specifically the song Clampdown. London Calling is my favorite album ever.

After that, I'd say Rubber Soul from The Beatles.
What is the most powerful album that you have ever listened to?

I love Disintegration too.. Wish came out when I was going through divorce.. it helped me deal with it emotionally, Apart.. the line.. "please stop loving me..I am none of these things" and many more.. "the Edge of the Deep Green Sea " is probably my favorite song ever!!

Some great albums already mentioned on here - the Cure, Marvin Gaye...wow
The album that towers in my life - simply because it unexpectedly came at the right time and its lyrics set off a chain of thoughts that ended up with me eventually breaking free mentally from the chains of the JWs is Darren Hayes' very electronic 2004 album The Tension and the Spark. One of those albums I bought then never actually listened to until a couple of weeks later. Couldn't believe it from the opening lines of Darkness ("been spending so much time underground, I guess my eyes adjusted to the lack of light...I was covered in darkness") to the spiritual/fleshly war described in I Like the Way ("the decadence of giving in to desire creates such entropy within - looking for love in spiritual faces, blind to the art of fabrication..."). This was an album speaking to ME!
To this day I'm still not sure why I bought the album in the first place - I always found him and his group Savage Garden as saccharine and whiney. It's a shame he went back to the whining and the saccharine with subsequent albums but for a moment Darren Hayes had something genuine to say and he said it very well.

Pearl Jam - Ten "Evenflow" "Jeremy" "Black" "Alive" - Read the lyrics and hear the desperation of a 15 year OLD JW hearing these songs. Awesome power and message.

Steve miller, fly like an eagle, 1976 is a great album. The fourth song, serenade, is awesome. According to sources, a night view of the stars inspired it.
