Mandatory Albums Every Music Fan Should Hear Once in Their Life (Updated)

A comprehensive list of critical darlings and popular picks (with a few albums that I personally think are underrated gems that need reevaluating). Although not a list of ranked albums on rateyourmusic.com, many of the picks were aided through using RYM as a resource (particularly as the list started getting to the 90s and beyond). This may explain why some albums later on in the list feel more RYM influenced later on in the list. This list may, yet again, be updated in the future in case I look back and want to add remove albums to make an even better list than this.
