After failing utterly to recognize either title or 
artist of about 90% of recently-posted "classic
albums," I decided to give this a try myself. So,
in no particular order:
     King Crimson (the one with a "screaming face")
     Wheels of Fire - Cream
     Blows Against the Empire - Jefferson Starship
     Strange Days - Doors
     Empty Rooms - John Mayall
     December's Children - Stones
     12x5 - Stones
     Ball & Chain - Janis Joplin
     Tommy - Who
     Whichever Jimi Hendrix album contains "Little Wing"
Notice that I call these "indispensible" rather than
"classic." (I would not presume to assign such a weighty
label.) By "indispensible," I mean "better be there when
needed."

Either: 1) I am too old for this net; 2) Persons posting
"classic albums" are being deliberately obscure and
esoteric; or 3) The word "classic" is being seriously
misused.
