Albums with interesting stories

Automatic For The People was the last record Kurt Cobain listened to before he committed suicide. It was found in his record player.

Trout Mask Replica, Captain Beefheart pretty much kept everyone involved captive in an isolated house with very little food (due to wanting to use as much money on the record, as opposed to luxuries.) The recording process went on 9 months.

Metal Machine Music, allegedly Lou Reed attempting to break ties with his record label and alienate certain fans. It was inadvertently a massive influence on other Harsh Noise bands/albums that followed.

Unknown Pleasures, Tony Wilson believed in the band so much that contributed his £8,500 life savings toward the cost of producing the initial run of 10,000 copies of the album. (Taken from Wiki.)

Any others?
