15 Albums for the Disoriented Generation

Amidst many other projects (including the ongoing and increasingly poorly named "Short" guide to Wu-Tang Clan) I have taken to my infinite wisdom to start another project. Why? Go fuck yourself. In this new series which may or may not be ongoing, I'll throw 15 basically random albums at you. Are these 15 albums that everyone SIMPLY MUST LISTEN TO BECAUSE THESE ARE THE SOME OF THE BEST ALBUMS IN ANY GENRE OR BY ANY ARTIST PERIOD (crazed ranting courtesy of Amazon, YouTube and various blogs- clearly I'm being a bitch today)? No, not really. There are a few requirements though.

1) I must like the album well enough, but it doesn't have to be a favourite, or a favourite of a particular genre
2) Avoiding having multiple albums from the same year. Going for some diversity too
3) No albums by the same artist in the same list? Why? Because it's possible to like more than one artist (heads up 2Pac stans)
4) Avoiding genre favouritism. Because that's boring, and there's so many albums in the world to choose from!
5) Avoid particular moods or themes that do not occur organically

I dunno, there aren't really rules anyways, right? I mean, aren't I just imposing my own subjectivity onto an artificial construct that was a creation (projection) of my own self-conscious onto what I am positing as "other?" And then these rules are some kind of disturbingly misguided attempt for my self-conscious to overcome what it has posited as other in a bid to overcome all otherness and achieve an absolute knowledge in absolute self-knowing? Pretty neat though, feel me? (this is the part where I tell you to read Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit)

Anyways, here's the first 15 of the series(?) listed by year released

Also, it's likely that many of these artists would hate each other's music. Album art:
