From your suggestions I've already listened to S.F. Sorrow and The Velvet Underground & Nico, I've liked them both (the first one more than the second one because I didn't get it very well, to be honest), so if you could tell which album should i move on to next, that would be wonderful. Thanks! And if you could stop fighting 'bout who knows more music, much better

S.F. Sorrow isn't as great as it's hyped to be imho. Cause of all the hype here I am thinking it should be the greatest thing I could ever heard. And know what? I play it and I can't past the intro before I am compelled to stop the album. That's one album I don't worry about it.

Solid Space were a couple of teenagers who recorded their album in their bedroom with a tape record. Now everybody does it with their computer. The singer for Suburban Lawns ‎was a teenager when she recorded their album.

Simply Saucer - Cyborgs Revisited (released 1989, containing material that was recorded in the 70s)
The Rezillos - Can't Stand the Rezillos (1978)
Joy Division - Unknown Pleasure (1979)
The Units - Digital Stimulation (1980)
Girls at Our Best! - Pleasure (1981)
Suburban Lawns ‎– Suburban Lawns (1981)
Solid Space - Space Museum (1982)
Screaming Sneakers - Marching Orders (EP, 1982)
Lora Logic ‎– Pedigree Charm (1982)

I share your opinion on SF Sorrow. I reviewed it in the History of Prog journal. Didn't seem prog at all to me, quite mediocre. Probably just not my thing.

It didn't strike me as being all it was hyped up to be, either. It's OK but (for me) it doesn't quite reach the level of other concept albums like "Tommy" or "Quadrophenia" by The Who.

It has a weird ability to keep echoing in my head long after the last listen. But anyway, not being as good as T&Q still leaves plenty of room to be a great record. And it’s way more obscure.

I can't fairly compare because I never got into the Who but I love SF Sorrow. It doesn't sound proggy at all but to me that's a plus (even though I like what I've heard of King Crimson and Yes, and many Pink Floyd albums even though I **** on them). It's more like a psychedelic British invasion thing

Hello, I'm so happy to be back again, I had (and still have) tons of exams during these weeks, but I've been listening to many of the suggestions you made, I'm gonna list some of them, and just say if I liked them or not, and my favourite track of each album:
Odessey And Oracle: Masterpiece. this was probably my favourite one. I've been listening to it oftenly. Favourite track: Time Of The Season
Harvest: Another masterpiece. Didn't enjoy it as much as Odessey And Oracle, but I love it. Favourite track: Heart Of Gold.
Here Are The Sonics: I honestly didn't expect to like it. The first time I was surprised, but I decided to listen to it more times. I still think it's a bit...strange. But I like it! Favourite track: Not really sure, but The Witch, because Roll Over Beethoven is a cover, so it doesn't really count.
Are You Expereinced-It was as great as I expected it to be. Favourite track: Do I really have to choose? I mean, Hey Joe, The Wind Cries Mary, Purple Haze, Manic Depression, Fire, Foxey Lady (now I like that song, but before I didn't)!!!! It's imposible to choose!!
Electric Ladyland-I honestly prefer Are You Experienced, but I like this one, too. Favourite track: I used to prefer Voodoo Child (Slight Return) instead of All Along The Watchtower because it sort of had more energy, but I think now I enjoy more listening to All Along The Watchtower.
Axis: Bold As Love-Well, this is the one I like the least by The Jimi Hendrix Experience (but it still is great). Favourite track: Little Wing
Now, some songs by bands you suggested. I've really enjoyed listening to: Traffic, J. J. Cale, Moby Grape, The Moody Blues, The Turtles, Marillion and T-Rex.
P.S. Now you're gonna kill me for this, but after listening to all this stuff I still think:
Eric Clapton>Jimi Hendrix

Sure, I've failed an exam for the first time in my life, so because I'm depressed I need to listen to more music, and that's why I'm back here.

Thank you for recommending many of them!

oh don't worry, especially in these times concentrating on school is hard. Listening to music definitely helps
