There is one CD that a group or artist released that you consider the pinnacle of their career. The are not a band you would necessarily go see, but just a single CD you would highly recommend to someone.
I have a few, but I will mention just one.
Bruce Springsteen
The Wild, The Innocent & The E Street Shuffle
One of my top selections of CD/Albums of all time. It's not over produced like Born to Run and it highlights the tightness of the band. Looking at live footage, it provided some of his best concert footage. Although I liked Born to Run to some degree, it was that "wall of sound" that drowned out the bands natural ability. The first "Greetings for Asbury Park" was good, but was only an opening act for what was to follow on his second album.
I know there are a lot of Bruce fans here and the point of the thread isn't to slam an artist, but it's just to point out a album that you feel ranks far above any of their other work.
