It's a good thing you showed up here...you seriously need to find some new music if those are some of the most important albums to you.

In no particular order:

Smash Mouth - Astro Lounge
One of the first albums I ever bought. I remember singing along to All Star back in 4th grade... pretty much the reason I'm into music today.
Green Day - International Superhits
Another early album purchase, also one of the first with CUSS WORDS! I remember feeling so dirty while listening to Long View.
Brand New - Deja Entendu
A mutual respect for this band/album was actually an important part of a relationship I was in towards the end of High School. They're also my most played artist on iTunes.
The Faint - Danse Macabre
One of my favorite artists around the time I got my first iPod. ('04 I think?) Though it's not great, Agenda Suicide is one of my favorite tracks of all time for the nostalgia factor.
Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory
Another one that takes me back to the good old days in school. All the friends that I shared this album with back then all still love it to death.
The Strokes - Is This It?
I remember reading that the album was exceptionally praised by critics everywhere, which marked the period where I started reading music publications and critic reviews.
Led Zeppelin - Mothership
Nostalgia. My father loved to play Classic Rock (everywhere; in the house, car, etc) as I grew up, and as a result, I'm able to recognize essentially every major hit from the 60s and 70s. It wasn't until recently that I made it a project to identify and acquire all these infamous tracks that shaped my childhood.
The Rolling Stones - Forty Licks
See above
Blink-182 - Dude Ranch
I think this album is the reason I begged my parents for an Electric Guitar, which I lugged over to my neighbor's house several times a week so we could "jam" together. (If you could call it that; it was more like loud, incoherent, and obnoxious garble. But it made us happy)
Pinback - Summer In Abaddon
I think this album is the reason I expanded my taste into the softer and more experimental (in other words, not-rock) side of music. Great effin album, too.

edit: f*ck, totally forgot about
Guster - Ganging Up on the Sun
Excellent album, love the band, absolutely need to see them live at some point in my life

Yeah man! That's gotta be one of my favorite albums of all time. Not really one of my most "important" (it didn't really turn me on to anything), but it's so awesome that just like... I have to scream "Right on, man!"

I don't think you've grasped the concept of the thread.
