Default Reference CD's for Mix and Inspiration!

I'm first to admit that my mixing area is not tuned flat. If I'm not careful when mixing, all kinds of mistakes can happen (bass overload, no bass, vanishing vocals, etc).
So, I have a few CD's that I have studied with my system so I can get the mix I'm looking for much quicker otherwise. Others are great for inspiration.
Depending on the type of mix I'm aiming for, I have a few CD's that will help me eq and mix: 1. Pink Floyd- The Wall. Great for acoustic and electric guitars, inspirational for taking a mix to the next level.
2. Ween- Chocolate and Cheese. Well crafted guitar pop where everything has its own space.
3. Fleetwood Mac Rumours- For that warm, 70's summer sound.
4. Radiohead - OK Computer. For blending electronics with great sounding acoustic instruments.
5.Faith No More- Album of the Year. For a super rock mix!
And for inspiring vibe and creativity: VU, Cake, Mr.Bungle, F. Lips, Beatles,etc.
There are plenty of great records to reference depending on the type of songs you are mixing. So What are some CD's that will inspire creativity or help you with YOUR mix?
C'mon and share. You know you want to!
