If possible, please explain why it is so important
Can you explain few written choices? Except Paul & Carpenters.
Edit: Looks like Nola BB Fan was about to post her recommends. & Watamushi(Polly Poller) was due to explain his choices perhaps. Sth. stopped them. What?Sorry, I couldn't get to write explanations last night. Here they are:
The Beach Boys, The Beatles and Bob Dylan albums: No matter you like them or not, they remains as the most essential acts in modern music, and I hope any enthusiastic music fans to listen to at least their best works. What I listed are what I consider as their best albums.
Plastic Ono Band & All Things Must Pass: best of the solo albums by the band generally considered as the best ever - I think that makes them essential.
Songs for Swingin' Lovers: Frank Sinatra is an essential listen as he established what is now called "concept albums." Even though this album is not really as conceptional as his ballad albums such as In the Wee Small Hours and Only the Lonely, I consider this one as one of the best way to get into Sinatra's discography.
Bridge Over the Troubled Water, Tapestry & Thriller: They are sold
extraordinarily well and highly regarded among music critics - so they're essential listens.
A Christmas Gift from Phil Spector: It's important as it was arguably the best Christmas record.
Music from Big Pink & Oddesey and Oracle: Simply because I believe they're great (and that notion is shared by many).
I removed some albums initially on the list because I thought they're not really essential.
