Leonard Cohen -
Songs of Leonard Cohen (1967)
I think this eclipses anything Bob Dylan ever did. Simply one of the most beautiful albums ever, and maybe the best folk album ever recorded.

Ornette Coleman -
The Shape of Jazz to Come (1959)
It's been said before: the title gives the perfect idea of the music you're about to hear. Simply one of the most fun and influential jazz records ever. You have to hear this.

Gal Costa -
Gal (1969)
This and Caetano Veloso's debut are probably the two greatest introductions to tropicália. I happen to think this is also the greatest album of the genre.

Einstürzende Neubauten -
Zeichnungen des Patienten O.T. (1983)
One of the finest industrial albums ever. Totally uncompromising, but perhaps that's what makes it so enjoyable.
