It's gonna be America-heavy because I prefer their brand of indie rock:

Daydream Nation - Sonic Youth
Surfer Rosa - Pixies
Slanted & Enchanted - Pavement
You're Living All Over Me - Dinosaur Jr.
13 Songs - Fugazi

I want this poor noob to get a solid base and hear the influences before they move on to modern indie...

It's funny, if I had to think of the 5 albums that first turned me on to music beyond the realm hardcore punk, it would probably be these 5. Excellent list!

Here's 5 of my favourite albums that I could call 'indie':

beat happening you turn me on
the clean anthology
guided by voices bee thousand
yo la tengo painful
ride nowhere

Thanks, fella. I've downloaded Bee Thousand but haven't given it a thorough listen yet. Plus, I will prolly get myself a Beat Happening album once I get to that chapter in Our Band Could Be Your Life...
