101's quite a few and my taste frankly isn't broad enough to give 101 amazing, unique albums. I can suggest a few though:

My main genre is electronic, so here's some good electronic albums:
Aphex Twin - drukqs
Jon Hopkins - Immunity
Daft Punk - Discovery
Autechre - Exai
Boards of Canada - Music Has the Right to Children
Squarepusher - Ultravisitor
Burial - Untrue
Oneohtrix Point Never - Garden of Delete
Justice - Cross
The Avalanches - Since I Left You
Venetian Snares - rossz csillag alatt született
Clark - Body Riddle
GAS - Pop
DJ Shadow - Entroducing...
Ed Harrison - Neotokyo
Flying Lotus - Cosmogramma
James Holden - The Inheritors
Tim Hecker - Ravedeath 1972
Kraftwerk - Trans Europe Express
Monolake - HongKong
u-ziq - Lunatic Harness

Other things I like:
Radiohead - Kid A
Madvillain - Madvillainy
Slowdive - Souvlaki (I seriously recommend all 4 of Slowdive's albums though)
Have a Nice Life - Deathconsciousness and The Unnatural World (both are too good not to mention)
Brian Eno - Another Green World
Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral
Alcest - Écailles de Lune (and kodama, their newest album)
Deafheaven - Sunbather
Danny Brown - Atrocity Exhibiton
Iron Maiden - Seventh Son of a Seventh Son
Miles Davis - Kind of Blue
Junip - Fields
Kanye West - My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp a Butterfly

This leans really modern and I would definitely like to listen to more older music. Apart from the odd older album, this would probably make a better 'best of the last 25 years' list. Oh well.

I'm just going to end up listing Manics & Muse albums but here we go, these are just my favourites

The Holy Bible, Generation Terrorists, Everything Must Go, This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours & Gold Against the Soul by the Manic Street Preachers are all great. The Holy Bible is one of the best albums of all time.

Showbiz, Origin of Symmetry, Black Holes and Revelations, Absolution and The Resistance by Muse are great also

"Fuzzy Logic" and "Radiator" - Super Furry Animals
War of the Worlds (The Musical Version) - Jeff Wayne
"Dookie" and "American Idiot" - Green Day

A Night at the Opera - Queen
Yours Truly, Angry Mob - Kaiser Chiefs
Word Gets Around - Stereophonics
