I think we covered this argument in Frownland's other thread. I don't actually think there are any albums that are mandatory or that you must hear. Sure, I'd say "You haven't heard DSOTM? Correct that immediately!" or something, but it wouldn't mean everyone should have to listen to it. Same with any album really. How long before I eventually heard Sgt Pepper? Didn't spoil my enjoyment of music for over 40 years, and to be fair, didn't do anything much to improve it either. Each to his own, say I.
