Sorry, but I'd have to veto the Santana Abraxas album.  I too remembered it
as being great, but I just listened to it for the first time in ~12 years
and it really doesn't stand up, even on Compact Disk.  Besides "Black Magic
Woman" and some nice instrumental work there's nothing to recommend it.
Their FIRST album, Santana, now that might be a different story.

My own recommendations in no particular order:

Beatles, Abbey Road
Beatles, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band
Grateful Dead, Terrapin Station
Ultravox, Systems of Romance
It's a Beautiful Day, It's a Beautiful Day
Jefferson Airplane, Surrealistic Pillow
Pink Floyd, Dark Side of the Moon
Fleetwood Mac, Rumours
Phil Manzanera, Diamond Head (English import only, I think)
Moody Blues, In Search of the Lost Chord
Country Joe & the Fish, Electric Music for the Mind and Body
Alan Parsons Project, I Robot
