Well, I'm a child of the 80s, so my list will probably be different from a lot of yours. I'm also into a wide variety of music ... so here goes:
These aren't in any order, save for the order I heard them:
1. Stryper - To Hell with the Devil
This album really got me into metal. My life changed drastically after hearing this.
2. Slayer - Reign in Blood
This was the album that really got me into Thrash.
3. Nine Ince Nails - Pretty Hate Machine
I remember first hearing this back in the early 90s. I got it right after it was first released. I got really into Industrial after this.
4. Sisters of Mercy - Floodland
Got me into Goth Rock.
5. Depeche Mode - Violator
I love this album as it really opened a new door to me. A door into a world of electronic pop that I love to this day.
These are all albums I heard when I was a kid back in the late 80s/early 90s.
Here's 5 more modern releases that have really impressed me:
Therion - Lemuria/Sirius B
Leaves' Eyes - Vinland Saga
Seabound - Double-Crosser
Enya - Amarantine
Stratovarius - Elements
