How can you say the Nevermind album started punk? It wasn't the first grunge album, it wasn't even the first Nirvana albuim? groundbreaking album my arse.  I would have to say the favourite groundbreaking album I have is "Not of This Earth - Joe Satrianni" To me this album took the guitar out of the band and gave guitarists a platform of expression which ciould only previously be satisfied in the heavy metal/hard rock/jazz genres.

I don't think anyone said that Nevermind started punk, just that Nirvana brought with them a less polished more "real" sound to mainstream rock.  Bleach wasn't really an album anyway, it was more of a demo.  And Nevermind was the album that people heard first, so it's the one that counts.

System of a Down - Selftitled -> for starting SOAD in general and never before heared vocals, lyrics, drums and arrangement
Slipknot - Iowa -> for having the most pressing, heavy & energetic tracks from slipknot and all other rock/metal albums
Pink Floyd - the dark side of the moon -> for countless hours on different drugs   
Kidney Thieves - both albums -> for deus ex 2 soundrack and some of the most dramatic rock/industrial mixes i ever heared
Portishead -> both studio albums + live album -> well its portishead, what else i have to say?  a class of its own
Massive Attack - Mezanine -> for a new style of triphop, just massive

im sure there are dozens more albums worthy the title "favorite ground breaking album", but that's all i can think of rightnow

[ramlambmoo]

System of a Down -> Self Titled
Rage against the Machine -> Self Titled
Limp Bizkit-> Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water (Love them or hate them, it was the first Rock album to sell more than 1 million albums in a week, and it Really brought in the whole Nu-Metal thing- again, love it or hate it, it broke ground).
Korn -> Follow the Leader (Again, lead Nu-Metal)

No one said it started punk, and no one said it was the first Grunge album. Also, noone said it was the first Nirvana album. Please get your facts right before making yourself sound like a moron.
