Most influential music albums

I'm expanding my music collection and I'm checking out all the must-have albums that I haven't heard yet, especially from the past (90s, 80s & 70s).

So if you had to choose a few music albums that you'd call crucial or fundamental to music history, what would they be?

I know very little about music history, but the following list comprises albums that have influenced me — meaning each one has changed my taste or perspective of music in some way.

A Tribe Called Quest - The Low End Theory
Alanis Morissette - Jagged Little Pill
DJ Shadow - Endtroducing...
Miles Davis - Kind of Blue
My Bloody Valentine - Loveless
Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea
Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral
Public Enemy - It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back
Radiohead - OK Computer
The Replacements - Let It Be
Stevie Ray Vaughan - In Step

Beatles - Sgt Pepper's and Yellow Submarine (everything)
Pearl Jam - Ten (90s grunge)
The Who - Tommy (probably one of the bigger ones, it influenced the wall, etc) and Who's Next
Something by Sinatra, old school, but very influential

probably something by the stones too, though unsure which was the most 'influential'

I'm sure you've heard all of those. I'd definitely consider them all very critical to music history. I didn't include The Wall, as The Who album influenced that, etc, but the Wall is a great album. If you just want a list of great albums i can give you those too heh.
