I don't think anything is absolutely essential to hear. Telling someone they have to listen to an album makes it feel like the equivalent to forced summer reading that actual enjoyable listening. So, instead, I'll just suggest a few albums I think are worth hearing.

Queens of the Stone Age - Songs for the Deaf

Eminem - The Marshall Mathers LP

Foo Fighters - The Colour and the Shape

Soundgarden - Down on the Upside

Afghan Whigs - Gentlemen

Al Green - Greatest Hits

Alice in Chains - Dirt

Bad Brains - Rock for Light

The Band - The Last Waltz

Beach Boys - Pet Sounds

Beastie Boys - Licensed to Ill/Paul's Boutique

Beck - Odelay

Big Star - #1 Record

I was going through iTunes alphabetically but I gave up at that point.
