De La Soul- Three Feet High And Rising

This album is basically credited for bringing light to sampling, by the lawsuit I mean.

After this album there was clearance needed to sample others music, which we know that a ton of hip hop uses.

"3 Feet High and Rising." De La Soul. (1989)

Bucking hip-hop's increasing turn toward stark urban naturalism in the late 1980s, De La Soul released this upbeat and often humorous album to widespread acclaim in the U.S. and abroad. The trio—Kelvin Mercer (Posdnuos), David Jolicoeur (Trugoy) and Vincent Mason (DJ Maseo)—was ably assisted by producer Prince Paul (Paul Huston) who has reported that these were some of the most productive, creative and entertaining sessions he ever worked on. For the album, the group marshaled an astonishing range of samples that included not only soul and R&B classics by Otis Redding and the Bar-Kays, but also Steely Dan’s "Aja" and cuts by Johnny Cash, Billy Joel, Kraftwerk, Hall and Oates, and Liberace. Perhaps the most far-flung sample is a snippet of New York Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia reading the comics over the radio in 1945.

The Library of Congress agrees with you.

+1 on Straight Outta Compton - NWA

It was the evolution of hiphop to true gangsta rap and they were the pioneers that brought it to mainstream media. Prior to them, it was underground productions created on crappy tapes.

It also forced MTV and the FCC to stand in and determine what was suitable for cable broadcasting. Complete game changer.

The Velvet Underground and Nico.

You listen to that album, and you hear everything that would come for the next 40 years.

Black Sabbath-Black Sabbath

An introduction to heavy metal, lyrical content and the overall darkness of the album would set the early standard for any heavy rock album.

Got the point across in about a half hour as well, one of the shortest albums I can recall.

Not an album but James Brown's " Funky Drummer " is easily the most sampled record in hip-hop.

The drum pattern layed down by Clyde Stubblefield can be heard throughout hip-hop, even to this day.

RUN DMC- RUN DMC

I don't even have to go into why this album should be on the list.
