An album you loved as a teen that you still love

What album did you love as a teen, that you still love now. I don't really listen to album anymore, just the individual songs I like on Spotify. However one album I will listen to, from start to finish, in the correct order, on a regular basis is Greenday, American Idiot. There isn't one song on there I don't like. I love the flow of the album, and it reminds me of being young.

(I've only read page 1 of this thread so far)

I recently listened to Beck Odelay and it was every bit as good as it was back in the day.

Wham! Make it big
George Michael Faith
Madonna Like a prayer

Listening to them transports me right back to my teenage bedroom, listening to them on my cassette player.
