Santana........
Nice one, Alan. Sadly, I only own one of the albums mentioned so far...
Hard to decide what is an "essential" album, so many to chose from, and I guess the definition of "essential" needs to transcend niches and personal tastes. The one for me that would immediately spring to mind, as I have listened to it since a small kid as one of my Mum's favourites -
Queen - A Night at the Opera (1975)
