So I'll bite in the spirit of the question, i.e. albums where I went crikey!... from bass perspective:
Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, 'Flight of the Cosmic Hippo'
Jaco - eponymous, Joni & WR
+1 for Bruford
Yes - all 70's albums
Return to Forever, 'Romantic Warrior'
Stanley, 'School Days'
UK - eponymous
Rush - 'Permanent Waves' & 'Moving Pictures'
Mark King, 'Influences'
Steve Khan, 'Modern Times' w/ Anthony Jackson
Brand X, 'Masques'
There you go... some crackers in there.
