The Smiths: Strangeways, here we come.
Kratwerk: Radioaktivität
The Cult: Pure Cult.
Billy Bragg: Workers Playtime.

Dead Moon: Thrash & Burn

MC5: Kick Out the Jams
Flamin' Groovies: Flamingo
The Mormones: Guide to Good and Evil
Not sure if these are the 5 best albums EVER, but they are the first 5 to pop into my head.
