By “important” I mean that it didn’t just become hugely popular, but it also changed a music genre or launched an entirely new one, or otherwise made a huge impact on music in general.

Fear Factory - Demanufacture.
I couldn’t decide whether it was this album or Soul of a new machine that pioneered clean singing in metal but I chose Demanufacture since it has such a timeless sound.
I heard Remanufacture before I heard Demanufacture, so there’ll always be a larger part of my heart devoted to Rhys Fulber’s remix of Self Bias Resistor than the original. But yeah, Demanufacture is an incredible record. That era of industrial metal transports me back to some incredibly sweaty venues.
