The Beach Boys -
Pet Sounds (1966)
Do I really need to explain this one? If you can't enjoy the beauty of this album, you're probably inhuman. A pop masterpiece.

The Beatles -
Revolver (1966)
In my opinion, this is their best album. It's not my favorite album of all-time anymore (in fact, not even close), but I think it's worth hearing nonetheless. It'll always mean something to me as *the* album that got me into music.

Big Black -
Atomizer (1986)
Extremely influential towards industrial. This is better than 'Songs About ****ing', and is a surprisingly fun listen for something so brutal.

The Birthday Party -
Junk Yard (1982)
Probably the best Aussie band, and this album is unlike pretty much anything I can think of from the era.
