I was listening again to Ian Dury's New Boots and Panties the other day and there is not a wasted second on that. Again probably appears in some lists but for anyone unfamiliar with it it's really a masterwork.
I usually mention Cut by The Slits in these lists. The Slits used to get terribly slagged off by the music press as talentless bimbos but in many ways they embodied the punk ethic more than the bands made up of former pub rockers. Cut is punk, is new wave, was indie rock before that existed, was a meeting point between punk and reggae. Part of the reason for it's longevity is the production by Dennis Bovell so the album sounds good rather than the usual wasp in a jam jar productions of the genre. It is also one of the great drum albums as Budgie was sat behind the kit. One of Kurt Cobain's favourites, an influence as well on one of my favourite contemporary artists Adwaith.
Bit of a curve ball but possibly the most played album in the Weary household is the soundtrack to Once More with Feeling which was the one off musical episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Probably only really works if you loved Buffy but it still holds up in it's own way.

Even though it's half cover versions, the originals on there are sublime.
I think I like Fair Warning more than MCMLXXXIV as well.
Bryan Ferry, The Bride Stripped Bare
Lou Reed, Growing Up In Public
Peter Hammill, Silent Corner and The Empty Stage
I also like the even more overlooked In Your Mind a lot - it’s cheesy, but in a cool way.

They also made a shockingly bad second album.
But this one is bloody brilliant. They had a hard road to making it as well- Crispin Hunt was left comatose after a car accident just before their first single was due to be released, then their record label closed its UK office and essentially held the band to ransom by demanding £500,000 to release them from their contract. When they were bought out of the contract by their new label it took four singles to get any decent airplay.
Hawley's post-'Pigs career is well known. Crispin Hunt has gone on to all sorts of behind-the-scenes industry stuff. https://uk.linkedin.com/in/crispin-hunt-08310613
But only the early pressings before they replaced the original "Spin Spin Sugar" with the remix.
