I'm going to have to say Never Mind the Bollocks, because nothing sounded like it before. I don't know how much of that is technical, though, since I'm just a simple unfrozen caveman.
I'm so sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my fun-time-Buffy party night involved watching a robot throw Spike through a window, so if you want to trade... no wait, I wouldn't give up that memory for anything.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
or the massively imitated "sound" of My Bloody Valentine's Loveless?
More like Loveless I guess.
The Talking Heads, Speaking in Tongues
I would've said Remain in Light or even My Life In the Bush of Ghosts was the breakthrough record.

Remain in Light
That's probably what I meant to type.

Dinosaur Jr. - "Bug".
Loveless wouldn't have happened without it.
And while I think "You're Living All Over Me" is a better album, it was the dozen-overdubbed-guitar-attack of "Bug" that was more influential in terms of sound.

I think most of us use iTunes.
Damn. I can't use iTunes, because it won't load onto Windows ME computers.
Any other options?

Unkonwn Pleasures by Joy Division. Martin Hannett's production was definitely an influence on much of what was to come, IMO. Metal Box by PiL was also quite striking.

Always Anti-fascist!
Not sure I know much about studio stuff but a lot of women would not be recording artists today without Janis Joplin's "Pearl" or Patti Smith's "Horses" making women's place in rock much more...serious?(it's early...don't have the right words yet. Sorry.) But now when I hear Alanis, Fiona, Melissa E.,who paid tribute with her awesome cover of "Piece of My Heart" that is what I think. Not to slight Grace Slick, bitterness over "We Built This City" notwithstanding. Also, and unrelated to the "girls with guitars", I'd feel remiss if I didn't say "What's Goin' On?"
