Default Essential Albums of the last 40 years

A fairly wide ranging query, but what would be in your top 20 albums of the last 40 years, that should be in everyone's music collections.

This is a difficult task to limit it to just 20 albums. Anyway here goes:

The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts' Club Band
Beach Boys - Pet Sounds
Love - Forever Changes
Van Morrison - Moondance
Bob Dylan - Blonde on Blonde
Jimi Hendrix - Electric Ladyland
Rolling Stones - Exile on Mainstreet
The Who - Who's Next
Cat Stevens - Tea For The Tillerman
Bob Marley - Legend
Neil Young - After The Goldrush
Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon
Eagles - Hotel California
Dire Straits - Dire Straits
Sex Pistols - Never Mind The Bollocks
Nirvana - Nevermind
REM - Automatic For The People
Massive Attack - Blue Lines
Brian Wilson - Smile
Eels - Blinking Lights And Other Revelations

There are many more albums from this period that to my mind are essential.
Just about any Bob Dylan album upto Blood on the Tracks; most of the Beatles output; a few more of the Rolling Stones to name a few.
