My Bloody Valentine, Loveless (though I personally disagree, this changed a lot of people in 1990)
and others that you have some titles by:
Talking Heads, Remain in Light & More Songs About Building and Food
The Cure, Disintegration
Gang of Four, Entertainment!
Van Morrison, Astral Weeks
REM, Murmur
U2, Boy & The Joshua Tree

Talking Heads: Remain In Light and Fear of Music and More Songs about Buildings and Food
Velvet Undergound: Velvet Underground and White Light/White Heat
New York Dolls: New York Dolls and Too Much Too Soon
Cheap Trick: first four albums and Live at Budokan
Neil Young: Rust Never Sleeps, Tonights the Night, Zuma
Love: Forever Changes
Jesus and Mary Chain: Darklands and Psychocandy
My Bloody Valentine: Loveless
The English Beat: Can’t Stop…
Sonic Youth: Daydream Nation, Sister and Evol
Husker Du: Flip Your Wig, New Day Rising and Warehouse
Melvins: Ozma
Big Black: Songs about ****ing and Atomizer
Joy Division: Unknown Pleasures and Closer
Magnetic Fields: 69 Love Songs
Dinosaur Jr: You’re Living All Over Me and Green Mind
Manic Street Preachers: Holy Bible

…that’s a good start.

Some other "classics" that I think you should hear at some point:
Vashti Bunyan, Just Another Diamond Day
Sam Cooke, Live at the Harlem Square Club, 1963
The Human League, Dare
John Fahey, The Transfiguration of Blind Joe Death
David Bowie, Hunky Dory
Pere Ubu, Dub Housing
The Zombies, Oddesey & Oracle
James Brown, Live at the Apollo
Serge Gainsbourg, Comic Strip -- this is actually a compilation but a nearly perfect one
And if you ever try hip-hop:
A Tribe Called Quest, Midnight Marauders
Nas, Illmatic
Notorious B.I.G., Ready to Die
De La Soul, 3 Feet High and Rising
Jay Z, The Blueprint
Public Enemy, Fear of a Black Planet & It Takes a Nation of Millions...
All of these are pretty generic recommendations. I mainly picked from the respective canons.

Looks like you only mean classic mainstream rock albums.
Nonetheless, I have to pitch:
Gary Numan - The Pleasure Principle
Completely changed the face of pop music at the time.

Johnbook, I'm not trying to be mean here, but maybe you should try and buy some of the recordings other people are suggesting... maybe widen out your tastes a bit. Corey Hart and Damn Yankees as classic? Sorry.
