A list of candidates:

Metal Machine Music, Lou Reed (the ultimate feedback LP pre-Throbbing Gristle, Sonic Youth, MBV, Spacemen 3 et al)

Nail, Scraping Foetus off the Wheel (an industrial classic milked by NIN and Marilyn Manson)

Secondhand Daylight, Magazine (post-Bowie/Eno prog - the sound that Radiohead would become gods using)

Twitch, Ministry (the Adrian Sherwood dub-industrial collision that Trent Reznor would turn into bestseller Pretty Hate Machine)

Dirk Wears White Sox, Adam & the Ants (just reissued, many have noted that current hip things Franz Ferdinand owe this a debt...)

Movies, Holger Czuckay (this & Peak/Normal and his work on Sylvian's Brilliant Trees are proto-sampling & as influential/revolutionary as several Cabaret Voltaire records....)

The Scream, Siouxsie & the Banshees (probably the first serious post-punk LP)

A Wizard A True Star, Todd Rundgren (way-out LP that predicts most styles of music in the following decades)

LC, Durutti Column (I always saw this as a precursor to much math-rock/post-rock/whatever it's called this week)

Fire of Love, The Gun Club/Hallowed Ground, Violent Femmes/Songs the Lord Taught Us, The Cramps- all of these beat the good (Royal Trux), the bad (White Stripes) & the ugly (The Von Bondies) & more hyped acts in the last few years. I think The Gun Club also preceded The Pixies with those vocals & subjects...

more later...
