I can name a few, what I would call, "influential albums". But I'd rather name influential bands/singer-songwriters/musicians. . .

THE ENTIRE Seattle Grunge group. Nirvana, P.Jam, Alice in Chains, S-garden, and Stone Temple Pilots. I think of the music that has followed them, and I can hear so much of what these bands created in many other popular bands through the 90's and beyond.

ALso Faith No More. . .Mike sombody. . .What is the lead singer's name? I think he is one of the most influential singers of the early alternative bands.

Metallica, AC/DC, Ozzy, Pantera, also had great affect on those who followed. Obviously, they're all still around, but not the same bands that they were 15 years ago.
