The Ramones' Ramones.

Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon

With The Dark Side of the Moon, Rock enters its adult age, becoming culture music and reprogramming the figure of rock musician, now intellectualized and affected by a special strabismus for other forms of art.

Black Sabbath’s self titled 1970 debut.

Generations of metalheads the world over owe their lives, allegiance, and gratitude to Tony’s fucked up hand.

Kidz Bop volume 1 launched an empire of children performing family friendly covers of pop songs that continues to weaken the fabric of humanity to this day.

• Angel dust by faith no more. It has been cited as a massive influence by many huge 90s metal bands. 
• Pet sounds by beach boys. Without it there would be no sgt Pepper (as we know it) and without that it's hard to say where pop would be today. 
• The rise and fall of Ziggy stardust and the spiders from Mars by Bowie. While not being the source of the glam wave (hi t-rex) it really took it to a new level, along with the concept of stage personas.

Homework by daft punk had a kinda huge impact on french house

DJ Shadow - Preemptive Strike

Rage against the machine's debut album & Evil Empire

Massive Attack - Mezzanine

King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King
