Alright, then. I'll bite on it. Here's chessrock's short list:
> Abbey Road, Beatles
> Physical Graffiti, Led Zepelen
> Zenyatta Mondatta, Police
> Blood Sugar Sex Magic, RHCP
As for the second part of your quetion, I hate to say it, but the best way to approximate a given snare sound is to get a snare that gets you in the general vicinity of sound that you're striving for ... then tune it the way you like it, and hit it the right way. As this topic has so very well pointed out, you'll also want to be weary of how aggressively you're playing the hi-hat and that sort of thing.

I couldn't help myself. I was really enjoying the thread and it got me thinking about great snare sounds. It was a pretty related topic, so I just went with it. Great records there - half of them are in my "desert island top 10".
I was just digging on Ghost in the Machine yesterday - think I'll throw on Zenyatta - you've inspired me.
You're right about the second part of my question; 99% of the sound will depend on the instrument. I definitely got carried away.
