Peter Gabriel
Nice '80s vibes with darker alternative feel. Some tracks, especially opening track make me think of Mike Oldfield. Really like this album sonically as well. Listened to the remastered version so not sure how faithful it is to the original, but really nicely produced.

The Who
Great vibes from the '60s and '70s. I kind of thought this had an American sound to it for an English band, as weird of an idea that might be... Perhaps it's just a sound of the time rather than sound of a nation but influence could come into it.
Lots of interesting instrumentation and arrangements across the whole album. Lyrics are often gentle and abstract which is nice... There are a couple of songs, especially the last one where lyrics get a bit direct and heavy (like Closer by Nine Inch Nails) so I wouldn't be surprised if there's weirder stuff made abstract in other lyrics.
A very long album at ~24 tracks (some are short though).

Very heavy and moody. Well put together with a lot of elements to keep the listener on the edge of their seat. I can hear how this was a very important early grunge album, especially given its time.
