I've started listening to full albums lately and I have to say it's a nice change of pace from just listening to playlists all the time. So far I've listened to Wu-Tang Clan's debut album, the 2004 album Nymphetamine by Cradle of Filth, the self-titled Nirvana album and American IV by Johnny Cash to name a few.
With that being said, do you have any recommendations of must-listen albums? I already plan to listen to Monotheist by Celtic Frost, several Led Zeppelin albums (at least the first ones), something by Black Sabbath, something by Pantera and something by Meshuggah (probably Koloss). Also, if you have really good music taste and have a last.fm page I'd be happy to follow that too.
I have listened to many albums, but I probably have a different taste in music to yours... by Nirvana, my favourite is "MTV Unplugged in New York", great albums in my opinion were The Clash - London Calling, The Velvet Underground - The Velvet Underground & Nico, other albums by Nirvana, a number of albums by The Beatles, Elvis Presley - The Sun Sessions, Bob Dylan - Blood on the Tracks, Rolling Stones - Exile on Main St., Green Day - American Idiot ... from the contemporary music I love all the Arcade Fire albums, Killers albums, first two (didnt hear others) by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes, Paloma Faith, Mumford and Sons...

I've been meaning to listen to more Dylan and Elvis! I'll make sure to look into all these things when I get time.
Regarding music taste I listen to almost everything between Dance Pop and Black Metal. As long as I enjoy it I don't care what type of music it is. I believe I had Britney Spears in my top 100 from 2017 and this year I had Arctic Monkeys, Burzum, Bukka White, Childish Gambino, Bon Iver, Pink Floyd and Slipknot to name a few.

I've been doing that too, but last.fm doesn't pick it up because I save it all on my phone and listen to it offline.
I've made some playlists with complete studio discographies for various artists to pick the albums from. They're here, if you want to check it out: open.spotify.com/user/mateusauri
Some of the ones I most liked lately are Brian Eno's "Taking Tiger Mountain", White Stripes' "De Stijl", T.Rex's "Electric Warrior", George Harrison's "All Things Must Pass", Hall & Oates' "Whole Oats", Tears for Fears' "The Hurting" and "Songs from the Big Chair", Mike Oldfield's "QE2", Gang of Four's "Entertainment!" and Wire's "Pink Flag".
Also some stuff by Air, Carpenters, Yellow Magic Orchestra, Stevie Wonder, Yello, Kate Bush, Siouxsie & the Banshees, Thomas Dolby, The Cranberries, Electric Light Orchestra, Talking Heads, DEVO and some brazilian artists.
If you like hip hop, I highly recommend Del the Funky Homosapien. "Mistadobalina", from his first album, is amazing.

White Stripes is one of those bands I feel like I would love if I only listened a bit deeper. The Hardest Button to Button has to be one of my absolute favorite songs.
That song reminded me a bit of Skee-Lo's "I Wish". If you're the type of person who "gets it" I would strongly recommend Tyler, the Creator's album Flowerboy. It's a bit weird and far from everybody enjoys it but I have to say it might be my favorite rap album. I Ain't Got Time might be one of the more approachable songs but if and when you get to the other stuff songs like Boredom and 911/Mr Lonely feel very unique and personal. It's an experience listening to that album.

I hadn't liked their first album too much, but now that I got to the second one, I feel that way too. Looking forward to listening the rest of their stuff.
I haven't given Tyler a proper listen yet, only quickly grazed through the top 5 tracks once and didn't really feel it at the time. But I do like some weird stuff every now and then, Scott Walker's Bish Bosch comes to mind. I think I'll add Flowerboy to my list to see if I enjoy it as a whole.
