first album that comes to mind for me is Untrue by Burial.
my memory of hearing this album for the first time was this feeling of hearing something so fully-formed and independent of anything else that existed in pop music, yet at the same time familiar or understanding something i had felt for a long time. as if someone had pointed out a colour of the rainbow to me that i had never seen before, but only because nobody had taught me the word for it yet.
as time goes on i think burial's more extended explorations may make the songs on this album feel a bit underdeveloped or one-note (not that i feel that way, i think every track on this album is perfect lol), and somehow i think all of pop music after this album is kind of aware of its influence, but it's not really something people commonly talk about as like a landmark, gamechanger album.
