Come on man, stop putting words in my mouth. I referenced the 1001 albums as an example of people deciding what constitutes a list of what people should listen to. I know nobody said MUST, after all you can't force people to listen to something they don't want to. But look at your OP objectively:

That clearly gives the impression that unless people listen to the albums you list, they're not considered in your view proper music fans, and that's what I have a problem with. If you'd just left out the "die hard music fan" bit that would have been ok, but you're making an elitist statement here and being arrogant, even if you can't see it.
For the benefit of the thread though, essential listening for me would be
Dark Side of the Moon, Born to Run, Hotel California, Zep IV, Bat out of Hell, Number of the Beast or Piece of Mind or Powerslave, Irish Tour 74 by Rory Gallagher, Rumours, Foxtrot, Small Change and Rain Dogs.
