There are many bands who have 1-2 albums that I think is especially great. Many of my favourite albums come from that kind of bands. I could consider them "favourite bands" because of that 1 or 2 album/s , but I'll try to focus on bands with a more consistent output, who have put out more than 2 very great albums.

The Durutti Column

Black tape For A Blue Girl

The Church

Allerseelen

Simple Minds

A Northern Chorus

Mecca Normal

Sandra

Girnų Giesmės  

 
It's hard to do a list like this. A lot of bands missing of course, but again, they are of the "One or two fantastic albums" category.
 
edit: No classical composers , to keep it simple.

Sting
Joe Jackson
Stereolab
Joachim Kuhn
David Earle Johnson

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...
