Unknown Pleasures
Joy Division
Fucking classic album.
One of my all-time favorites.
Beautiful and haunting from Ian Curtis
Great guitar work from Hooky and Sumner
Morris' drum work is like a machine.
The production is spacey and really adds to the sound.

Simon & Garfunkel
Really good album, well-known tracks like Hazy Shades of Winter and Mrs. Robinson are great, but album tracks like Save the Life of My Child are great, I love the bass synth work on it specifically. Didn't really care for the sound collage Voices of Old People as it broke up the album in an unpleasing way. Despite that I would happily return to this album again.

The White Stripes
All-time classic by The White Stripes and easily one of my favorite albums of all time. The simpleness of the instrument work helps the album create some the catchiest riffs written in rock. The songs on the album range from good to fantastic with highlights being Seven Nation Army, I Just Don't Know What to Do With Myself, The Hardest Button to Button, Ball and Biscuit, and Girl, You Have No Faith in Medicine. The acoustic tracks, while not as instantly memorable, are nice songs that break up the constant fuzzed-out guitar tones. This album is the longest White Stripes album, but isn't dragged out by any means. If you're interested in The White Stripes, this would be my go-to album to get started with the band.
