Would echo: The Bends, Achtung Baby, Whatever and Ever Amen, Ten, Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix (need to dust that one off now).
OkComputer should be there save Fitter Happier.
Would add: any of Weezer's first three albums (Blue, Pinkerton, Green), American Idiot, Hot Fuss, Postal Service, and Yankee Hotel Foxtrot.
And I know it's Coldplay, but still, Rush of Blood to the Head is a banger.

still thinking about options but stone roses/stone roses seems like an easy one.
also currently considering: the bends, wolfgang amadeus phoenix, music for the morning after, brothers in arms, the unforgettable fire, murmur
this list will shrink dramatically. need to kill your darlings when thinking about clunkers.
