Nah, dark Side of The Moon is streets ahead !! (imo)
Abraxas (Santana) is a classic as is Nightfly, Ziggy Stardust as you say.
I meant to mention Alice Cooper and Schools Out which is played ad nauseum in the car. Steppenwolf 2 is another gem as is Deja Vu by CSNY.

Alice Cooper is playing in Bordeaux in a couple of months.
Whatever People Say I Am , That’s What I’m Not - one of my favourite albums.
I think I have just heard DSOTM too much. If anything I prefer Meddle.

They are all different, and mainly just as good as each other (maybe not ummagumma which is basically 4 solo sides). Listening to atom heart mother at the moment nice and loud on my garden stereo 
For obvious reasons there was a decline post “The Wall” which was, I think, the most technically ambitious of their albums - personal favourite depends a bit on the mood that I am in but The Wall, Wish You Were Here or Meddle - Dark Side just very slightly less but still a brilliant album.

It’s so long since I listened to Ummagumma I had to look it up to see what was on it. Anyway wiki tells me that Ummagumma was a slang term for something I’d better not mention here…might get removed

I also missed out Mike Oldfield.
Another John Prine fan, Sam ?

In no particular order.
At least you have included a few songs I recognize … 
Not necessarily Top 40, but what I love about our modern world is how easily we can reach back to old favourites or hear new stuff that appeals.
Suddenly I’m reminded of Billy Paul’s “Let em in” through an advert, not having heard it for years.
Grace Jones, Libertango, beautifully sinister, like she is
I found Stranger on the Shore by Acker Bilk - how many decades since I listened to that?
Gentle on my Mind, Glen Cambell …
… and I’m Not in Love 10cc ( two wonderful love songs)
Get it Right next Time - Gerry Raffety - perfect melding of voice and music
Most of Dire Straits, but especially Private Investigations
They Dance Alone, Sting - unbelievable political song
Always on my Mind, so many versions, Wllie Nelson’s broken, used voice the best
Again, maybe not the obvious version, California Dreaming, Jose Feliciano
And of the newer stuff …
Adele has to be there, among the best Set Fire to the Rain just so powerful
Human is twice on my list: Rag ‘n Bone Man (what a voice!) and The Killers (such extraordinary lyrics)
Leonard Cohen, not for his old material, but You Want it Darker
Lo-Fang’s amazing rendition of You’re the One that I Want (again, first caught in an ad)
And for sheer exuberant fun, to be watched as well as listened to, and so different from the music of my youth, Barden Bellas’ Price Tag / Don’t You finals mash-up in Pitch Perfect. I never tire of it
Another that needs to be watched on video - Call in the Clowns, Judi Dench - I cry every time I see it
What a great time to have music in our lives!
rock on sister
Acker Bilk…showing your age there
