ITT: Tremendously influential albums that musicians love but rarely get talked about by most everyone else.
So the guy that sang on the pink floyd album actually made an influential album in your opinion?
Care to explain why is that album so influential? What does listening to it makes you feel?
Fucking masterpiece, so many great moments

Albums by Fleet Foxes and Joanna Newsom and the like might not even exist without this album, and Zeppelin jacked his swag all the time on their acoustic songs

I'm about to do a sales pitch so I can't go too in depth, but to superficially touch the subject, his dramatic and lengthy songwriting style and musical compositions have been imitated by musicians decades after, and this album in particular is often mentioned as a popular influence on many ambitious singer-songwriter/folk albums even today. People like Joanna Newsom and Robin Pecknold of Fleet Foxes cite him as a major inspiration and source of style.
Even better answer, give it a listen man. Is not what you're expecting it to be, I guarantee it.

There's a whole category of "musician's musicians" who seem to get cited/covered a lot by other musicians without attaining much popular success. Tommy Keene, Mission of Burma, Marshall Crenshaw, etc.
Marshall Crenshaw's "Field Day" is one of my favorite 80's albums. Start with "Monday Morning Rock."
This is essentially post-punk, the topic. It's a genre that has had ideas that other forms of music take to the next level, but the fact that so many other forms of music do this while being influenced from post punk or not is pretty fantastic.
You would think he's be more popular after Zeppelin dedicated a song to him.

Post-punk is generally well known amongst music fans and critics, though.
