here are some that came very close, at least good to great albums, to me at least: erik b. & rakim godspeed you black emperor blackalicious fugazi mastodon tv on the radio sun kil moon the shins beulah rage against the machine

other ones that came to mind are: the plan - built to spill (keep it like a secret) head like a hole - nin (pretty hate machine) war ensemble - slayer (seasons in the abyss) south of heaven - slayer (south of heaven) hells bells - ac/dc (back in black) welcome to the jungle - gnr (appetite) highway to hell - ac/dc (highway to hell) tonight's the night - neil young (tonight's the night) see no evil - television (marquee moon)

angel of death - slayer (reign in blood) thumb - kyuss (blues for the red sun) cinnamon girl - neil young (everybody knows...) walk on - neil young (on the beach) white room - cream (wheels on fire) search and destroy - the stooges (raw power) tom sawyer - rush (moving pictures) 21st century schizoid man - king crimson (in the court of the crimson king) enter sandman - metallica (black album) the modern world - the jam (this is the modern world)

i guess it all depends on how popular a single gets, like with nirvana's nevermind album it was out a few months before it reached it's peak in sales as smells like teen spirit became more and more popular.
