Reign in Blood is the third studio album and the major label debut by the American thrash metal band Slayer. It was released on 7 October 1986 through Def Jam Recordings. The album was the band's first collaboration with record producer Rick Rubin, whose input helped the band's sound evolve. Reign in Blood was universally well received by both critics and fans, and was responsible for bringing Slayer to the attention of a mainstream metal audience. Kerrang! magazine described the record as "the heaviest album of all".
I've actually heard this album once! Considering I'm nothing close to a metal fan, it's surprisingly user friendly considering how "heavy" it is claimed to be and the subject matter. It's almost poppy in a way.

3 Feet High and Rising is the debut album from the American hip hop trio De La Soul, which was released in 1989.
The album marked the first of three full-length collaborations with producer Prince Paul, which would become the critical and commercial peak of both parties. It is consistently placed on 'greatest albums' lists by noted music critics and publications. Robert Christgau called the record "unlike any rap album you or anybody else has ever heard." In 1998, the album was selected as one of The Source Magazine's 100 Best Rap Albums.
Another album I've heard, but it's probably way too long ago for me to remember anything about it. I do respect them for their influence on Hip-Hop music so this deserves a place for that!
So is the fifth studio album (and seventh album overall) and first non-eponymous studio album by British rock musician Peter Gabriel, released in 1986. Many of its songs reflect a more conventional pop-writing style and became radio hits, while others still retain Gabriel's dark, brooding sense of experimentalism. As Gabriel explained in 2011: "I'd had my fill of instrumental experimenting for a while, and I wanted to write proper pop songs, albeit on my own terms."
So is the best-selling album of Gabriel's career and charted at number 1 in the UK Album Chart, and number 2 on the Billboard 200 in the US. It is certified triple platinum in the UK, and five times platinum in the US. So ranked at number No. 14 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of "Top 100 Albums of the Eighties" and is included in 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.
Honestly, the lead single is the only song I've heard from this album. I like it though. Maybe I ought to check him out since he's similar to some artists I like.
