Best Two-Ferz

This is a great list idea here, Which Rock Act Released the Best Two Albums in a Single Year?, and while I agree with the following:

The Kinks, 'Kinda Kinks' and 'The Kink Kontroversy' (1965)
The Beatles, 'Hard Day's Night' and 'Beatles for Sale' (1964)
The Beatles, 'Please Please Me' and 'With the Beatles' (1963)
Creedence Clearwater Revival, 'Green River' and 'Willy and the Poor Boys' (1969)
The Beatles, 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band' and 'Magical Mystery Tour' (1967)
Bob Dylan, 'Bringing It All Back Home' and 'Highway 61 Revisited' (1965)
The Beatles, 'Help!' and 'Rubber Soul' (1965)

BUT.

The very idea that The Ramones' beyond-brilliant 1977 Irish stepchildren Leave Home & Rocket to Russia not only are not on this list but are not #1 on this list!! immediately render this list invalid and inexcusable. 😡😡😡😡

UPDATED: leaving off Husker Du's 1985 1-2 punch of New Day Rising and Flip Your Wig is almost as irresponsible.
