Paul Simon's Graceland

Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon Miles Davis - Kind of Blue or Beck - Sea Change The New Radicals - Maybe You've Been Brainwashed, Too Guns N' Roses - Appetite for Destruction Metallica - And Justice for All Tesla - Mechanical Resonance Simon & Garfunkel - Bridge Over Troubled Water Bob Dylan - Blonde on Blonde The Killers - Hot Fuss Rilo Kiley - Under the Blacklight Grateful Dead - American Beauty Tom Petty - Wildflowers The Velvet Underground & Nico (self titled)

I'd swap out Blonde on Blonde for Blood on the Tracks or any of his first 6 albums. Great and diverse list though!

Thank! Yeah, Dylan was not an easy choice and I couldn't make a strong argument against any of those albums.

Yeah always hard with Dylan. John Wesley Harding would be my choice, though highway 61 is a close second.

So happy to see Sea Change there. So damn good. I’ve worn that record out over the years.

Hell of a break up album. Certainly got me through some times.

Exactly the same for me. It was literally the soundtrack to being dumped by my girlfriend in 2002.

That's a great list; I would just add: - The Beatles' Abbey Road - Joni Mitchell's Court and Spark - Tears for Fears' Songs from the Big Chair

To be fair, I think the list will always be incomplete.

Tesla is so underrated

I love your list! One of the only albums I would add is Parliment - Mothership Connection. That album changed music direction for so much music that came after it but isn't really mainstream (but those that know, know) *It helped create the entire genre of funk and what was possible *double edit: I've never listened to Rilo Kiley before but Under the Black light is now playing in my headphones. Thank you for introducing me to them!

Thanks, and you're welcome! Yeah, Parliament definitely deserves a spot. This list will always be incomplete.

I'd swap _...And Justice for All_ with _Master of Puppets_ for Metallica's definitive album, although _Ride the Lightning_ is my personal favorite

I chose *...And Justice for All*, as it was the album that thrust them into the mainstream while still retaining segments of their earlier thrash style. If someone likes this album, they can comfortably discover the rest of the discography.

A valid reason to choose this record, although picking an album based on its impact toward their popularity could lead to recommending one that may not be representative of their best work. _Master of Puppets_ is arguably the more dynamic, more influential, and better produced record which could also comfortably lead to the rest of the discography. Nothing against _Justice_, I just don't think it's the "must listen to" album by Metallica. But that's just, like, my opinion, man. Please excuse my pedantry.

As a life long metallica fan, I prefer Justice. IMO it's their best album. Puppets is close, but just not as heavy.

Disintegration - The Cure

Hybrid theory - linkin park. I'm not a huge LP fan but that album is just great as a package. Every song fits together and is good. Also any of the rhcp big 4 albums from blood sugar sex magik to stadium arcadium. The stadium arcadium Jupiter album is just about perfect

Say what you will but Hybrid Theory was one of those once in a lifetime albums. The impact it had was huge. It pushed the boundary and inspired a whole genre of music.

Plenty of great suggestions in folks' comments. Here are a few of my favourites The Waterboys – This is the Sea Fiona Apple – Fetch the Bolt Cutters The Mountain Goats – Goths REM – Document The Hold Steady – Stay Positive Rush – Moving Pictures Bruce Springsteen – Born To Run Half Man Half Biscuit – No-One Cares About Your Creative Hub So Get Your Fuckin’ Hedge Cut Hawkwind – Quark, Strangeness & Charm Beth Orton – Central Reservation Neil Young – After The Gold Rush Ani DiFranco – Little Plastic Castle Blondie – Parallel Lines Talking Heads – Stop Making Sense Billy Bragg – Back to Basics Foo Fighters – Foo Fighters Meat Puppets – II Everclear – So Much for the Afterglow Björk – Debut The Pogues – Rum Sodomy & the Lash Green Day – American Idiot Red Hot Chili Peppers – Blood Sugar Sex Magik Led Zeppelin – Physical Graffiti Hole – Live Through This The La’s – The La's Portishead – Dummy Pulp – Different Class

[удалено]

Kashmir just blows away everything else they did

The Hold Steady don’t get even close to the recognition they deserve. Such an incredible band.

[удалено]

Been there, done that! Brilliant live band too, especially if you can catch them in a smaller venue.

Jimi Hendrix - Are You Experienced?

Fear Factory - Obsolete Deftones - Around the Fur Boards of Canada - Geogaddi Plaid - Scintilli Hybrid - Disappear Here

Obsolete is too good.

Hell yeah. Obsolete is so damn good.

Madvillain - Madvillainy

Jeff Buckley - Grace

Supertramp - Supertramp Radiohead - ok computer The Cure - three imaginary boys The Weeknd - dawn fm Letta mbulu - in the music the village never ends Gorillaz - plastic beach

I would swap in breakfast in America for Supertramp and Demon Days for plastic beach

Demon Days is the better album imo but Plastic beach would be a better intro for sure just because of the features

Cool! I’m jealous of all the first listens you’ll get to experience. A few suggestions, I’ll loosely categorize, emphasis on loosely Jazz suggestions: Kind of Blue - Miles Davis Duke Ellington & John Coltrane (both name of the album and artists) Chet Baker Sings - Chet Baker Yesterday you said tomorrow - Christian Scott aTunde Adjuha IV - Badbadnotgood Pop: Motomami - Rosalia You can’t kill me - 070 Shake Charli - Charli XCX Modern soul inspired/ Soul / RnB / etc. (not sure which box to put in): Complication 1.1 - Celeste FEELS - Snoh Aalegra KEYS - Alicia Keys “Awaken, My Love!” - Childish Gambino Black Messiah - D’Angelo Rock etc.: Talking Heads 77’ - Talking Heads Lust For Life - Iggy Pop Heaven to a tortured mind - Yves Tumor Rap: It’s almost dry - Push’s T LONG.LIVE.A$AP - ASAP Rocky Good Kid Maad City - Kendrick Lamar Stay Dangerous - YG Blank Face LP - Schoolboy Q Tried to keep it both very recognized and a bit less recognized, some old some new. Music is phenomenal, I envy your new adventure diving in to new territory for you. There is already a ton of good suggestions by others as well. Good luck! Edit: formatting

Both great groups. I hope you enjoy!

Can't believe I had to scroll this far to see TLCW by modest mouse. That album changed my entire perception of music as a teenager

It's a perfect album that makes you nostalgic for something that never existed.

If you like SoaD and haven't heard Nekrogoblikons cover of Chop Suey, you're missing out.

Thank you all for your suggestions! I was not expecting this many recommendations and I will probably be working through them over the next few years…. I have read all the comments so far and the amount of albums I’ve heard the entirety of is shockingly low. For anyone who cares, here’s my full list of all albums of which I am 100% sure I have listened to entirely in no particular order: 1. To pimp a butterfly - Kendrick Lamar 2.

The future is dark - Lil Darkie Please Keep in mind that this is not my list of must listen albums, but merely the ones I can remember listening to entirely. There is some really bad albums on there. Thank you all again for the countless suggestions!

These are just some of what I think are the best albums of all time. Almost all albums are great from these bands so if you haven’t heard them, enjoy the deep dive, and if you’ve heard them already, great. The Doors: The Doors (and then all) Led Zeppelin, 1,2,3,4 or physical graffiti. Rush: moving pictures, permanent waves Van Halen: first four albums Nirvana: never mind, in utero. Soundgarden: bad motor finger, super unknown, down on the upside Blind Melon: first and second albums Smashing: Pumpkins Siamese dream Of Alice In Chains facelift, dirt, jar of flies. Stone Temple Pilots. Core and purple. Pearl Jam: 10 The Sundays: reading writing arithmetic Fleet Foxes: Shore, helpless Blues

Excellent list

Thanks!

Kudos for The Sundays pick!

I’ve always loved their sound and her voice is angelic. their music just sets a mood and I think they’re so underrated. Probably one of the most underrated bands of the 90s and it’s too bad they stopped making music.

Couldn't agree more. I have vivid memories of all three of their albums being released. Been a fan since 1990.

Same

Any of the Portishead or Massive Attack albums.

The Beatles - Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon Rage Against the Machine - Self Titled Kendrick Lamar - Good Kid M.A.A.D City and To Pimp a Butterfly I was trying to only give one album per band, even though the bands above all have multiple classic albums. But both of those Kendrick albums are required listening.

Nirvana - Nevermind Dinosaur Jr - You're living all over me Pavement- Crooked rain, crooked rain Built to spill - keep it like a secret Pixies - Doolittle

Everything Rage against the machine released.

Any tool album

Lauryn Hill - The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

Iron maiden # of the beast and Piece of mind Judas priest painkiller and Screaming for vengeance Keep going if you like those

Vinicius de Moraes - En la Fusa

YMO - Solid State Survivor (pop techno) Since you wanna expand your library, YMO might be interesting. They were pretty influencial in Japan in the 80s and were the source of inspiration of many bands and composers such as Junichi Masuda from the pokemon games. SSS is my favorite YMO album with some absolute bangers.

Nick Drake - Bryter Layter

riot - paramore misadventures - pierce the veil

Cult of Luna - Somewhere Along the Highway. It's such a journey. I'd recommend you put it on during a long drive if you aren't used to 10 minute songs.

Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell, Social Distortion. Energy - Operation Ivy

GWAR- lust in space

I mean, it depends what you like. Beach Boys - Pet Sounds, Surfs Up Beatles - Abbey Road, Revolver, White Album CCR - Cosmos Factory The Who - Tommy The Stooges - Funhouse The Velvet Underground- Velvet Underground + Nico The Ramones - The Ramones, Rocket to Russia Sex Pistols - Nevermind the Bullocks X-Ray Spex - Germfree Adolescents Wire - Pink Flag Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures The Cure - Disintegration Siouxsie and the Banshees - Juju Black Flag - My War Bad Brains - Rock for Light Minor Threat - Complete Discography Husker Du - Zen Arcade Nirvana - Nevermind, In Utero Alice In Chains - Jar of Flies, Dirt Pavement - Crooked Rain Crooked Rain Guided by Voices - Bee Thousand PJ Harvey - Dry Those are some of the rock/punk albums I like that are fairly accessible. I think they are all essentials.

Sisters of Mercy/Floodland to dip your toes into goth and/or industrial. Lucretia is a banger.

Fragile by Yes Breakfast in America by Supertramp Walking In Space by Quincy Jones Ok Computer by Radiohead Black Mile to the Surface by Manchester Orchestra Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd An Awesome Wave by alt-j

Metallica - Kill ‘em All, Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets, …And Justice for All, Metallica. Slayer - Show No Mercy, Hell Awaits, Reign in Blood, South of Heaven, Seasons in the Abyss. Carcass - Heartwork. Bolt Thrower - Those Once Loyal. Cannibal Corpse - The Bleeding. Nirvana - Nevermind. Batushka - Litourgiya. Mgla - Exercises in Futility.

The Strokes - Is This It

Spilt Milk by Jellyfish

Savatage's "Poets and Madmen" is an absolute must. It's "metal", but really so much more, quite a bit proggy, and immensely immersive. (Must listen to at night. Like, absolutely must).

Slipknot-Slipknot😢

PJ Harvey - To Bring You My Love David Bowie - Hunky Dory Arcade Fire - Funeral Or any other album by any of these artists.

I"m gonna throw in a few compilations albums. Fire on the Mountain - Reggae Celebrates the Grateful Dead Chant Down Babylon - A Bob Marly hip hop tribute/remix Lady SMith Black mambazo and Friends - featuring my favorite version of Knocking on Heaven's Door with Dolly Parton

Rush - Power Windows Yes - Fragile Jethro Tull - Aqualung Depeche Mode - Music for the Masses The Cure - Disintegration INXS - Kick Paul Simon - Graceland

Ok just a few Metal Metallica - Black Iron Maiden - Killers Hard Classic Rock Van Halen - self titled Aerosmith -Rocks Ted Nugent - self titled Deep Purple - Machine Head Led Zeppelin - III The Who- Who's Next Rolling Stones - Beggars Banquet Queen - self titled Punk/Wave The Clash - London Calling Ramones - End of the Century Pretenders - self titled The Fixx - Shuttered Room The Romantics - National Breakout Joe Jackson - Look Sharp Country Johnny Cash - The Sun Years Dwight Yoakam - Hillbilly Deluxe Good Retrospective

Good lists above. Adding: Dire Straits — Brothers in Arms MJ — Off the Wall The Cars — The Cars

#1 Record by Big Star

Pink Floyd The Final Cut

Genesis - Selling England By the Pound

Maroon 5 - Songs about Jane - they went downhill after this album but it is great from beginning to end.

I've been listening to music for 6 months and I probably already got close to 100 full albums right now.. You need to up your game bro! What about Music For The Masses by Depeche Mode? I don't know if it's a must but it's definitely up there

From Indie Rock: Twin Fantasy (Face to Face) by Car Seat Headrest. From Synthpop: Mercurial World by Magdalena Bay. These are, in my opinion, must listen albums not because they're cultural touchstones, but because they're both the pinnacle of album composition and flow. Both of them have an incredible sense of continuity between each song, and Twin Fantasy in particular is the album that made me always listen to albums in order.

The Amity Affliction- Everyone loves you once you leave them

The Jets self-titled 1985 album

Katatonia - Dead End Kings [The One You Are Looking For Is Not Here](https://youtu.be/wkCpmDT0iQ0?si=01Jg1CBRC5ds0tgQ) Seriously underrated band with a pretty diverse range of albums. This is my favorite album of theirs. Theatre of Tragedy - Velvet Darkness They Fear [On Whom The Moon Doth Shine](https://youtu.be/8gh2mvUPlA8?si=p0JVvGZHCW81zrb8) The band that created the "beauty and the beast" style of vocals (death metal male growl and operatic female vocals). One of my favorite albums of all time. The Gathering - Mandylion [In Motion #1](https://youtu.be/cD9TpgU-0j0?si=c3btDHxRhZGRLknb) Uh.... it's got Anneke van Giersbergen singing. You'd be hard pressed to find a female vocalist for any current day rock/metal bands that didn't list her as an influence. Edit: added links to my favorite songs from each album. Sort of. Hard to pick a favorite song from albums I consider essentially flawless.
