It would have been released in 1966 if there wasn't so much opposition from the record companies (irrelevant point to make, I know, but just felt like pointing that out).
But yea, I'll go ahead and say The Velvet Underground & Nico as well as Watashi Dake by Keiji Haino. No single album has ever impacted my taste in music like VU's debut, and Haino's debut is well... just read this.
