Lot to choose from… But I'm gonna have to give my vote to XTC's "Skylarking".
They were basically considered new wave at the time - But this album kind of changed people's perceptions about them. It was practically brilliant from beginning to end, and drew heavily from the Beatles and the Beach Boys. Absolutely fantastic lyrics, songwriting and composition by both Andy Partridge and Colin Moulding on every song… plus it ultimately lead to the great side project "Duke of the Stratosphere".
