Jandek -
You Walk Alone (1988)
This is probably Jandek's most listenable record, and possibly his most enduring. If you listen to one record in Jandek's impossibly eclectic catalog, have it be this one.

The Jesus and Mary Chain -
Psychocandy (1985)
One of the stronger experiments with noise and the "shoegaze" sound. I've never gotten totally into this album, but it has its undeniably beautiful moments.

The Lounge Lizards -
The Lounge Lizards (1981)
Great avant-garde/free jazz. It's been called "punk-jazz" for the attitude that it seems to convey. Definitely one of the best jazz releases of the 1980s.

The Millennium -
Begin (1968)
For an album released in 1968, this sure has plenty of moments that will sound almost totally fresh to your ears. It's a shame this wonderful, sunny pop album was overlooked.
