Blonde on Blonde, Bob Dylan.
Bob Dylan really can't sing Bob Dylan songs. They're mostly great songs, though -- and he even sings more than three notes on this album (no wonder it's a classic).

Give the People What They Want, The Kinks.
This may be an extremely hip album, but it sounds to me like a cross between Huey Lewis & the News and
Who's Next -- with the exception of a couple of good tracks. "Destroyer" will drive me insane because I know that the Kinks' isn't the version I've heard before, but it's still a great song.
