Chronological order. Before this I listened to crappy eurotechno. It was my early teens I must say as a defence though.
R.E.M. - Automatic for the people
The power of the guitar in "Drive"
Led Zeppelin - Untitled
An eye-opener to say the least. "When the levee breaks" is still one of my favourite tracks ever since the first time I heard it.
Metallica - "...and justice for all"
Took a bit of a time before I could appreciate the early Metallica, but after a while it changed my view of metal.
Air - Moon Safari
Best album since the 90s IMHO. As with Metallica it took some repeated listening before I saw the masterpiece. It made me appreciate electronic music.
