Il Duce since you seem to know it all why don't you PM me a nomination for the next battle. I picked these two for a certain reason, they both helped a lot in the downfall of hair-metal in the late 80's, as Urban also mentioned. They don't necessarily have to be their best albums.
Out of these two I have to go with The Real Thing, it's definitly the more ground-breaking of the two and completely broke down some genre barriers. It's such a great mixture of styles including pop, thrash, hip-hop, funk, hard-rock, new-wave, and god knows what else, all thrown without any regard for musical norms. Nothing's Shocking is a fantastic album as well. It is heavily influenced by the likes of Led Zeppelin but they added their own original twist to update hard-rock for generation-x.
