Hip Hop Essentials 2008

What are some essential classic bands/albums?
I know it’s a cliche question, but I’m finding it really difficult to sort through the mind-blowlingly vast amounts of music and genres available, having only really gotten into music about 2008. I’m 17 and I unfortunately grew up with So Fresh and other awful concepts, so I really missed out on the good stuff.
My favourite bands are Radiohead, Elbow, I Am Kloot, The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Coldplay, The Cure, Interpol, Murder By Death, Nirvana, Oasis, The Smashing Pumpkins and plenty of others. I would really like some personal recommendations on similar fantastic bands and/or the best music of past decades, and I’m not a metalhead (unless it’s just a really great album) or into hip hop/rap.
Thanks.
Moby Grape their first album was just Moby Grape. A group of talented musicians with some interesting background, web info is available.
The second Fleetwood Mac album with Peter Green you will see why he is mentioned by so many great artists. Show Biz Blues is a real trip!
Sailing Shoes by little Feet another major piece of entertainment.
Da Capo by Love needs no explanation.
Those will keep you entertained for a long time.
I can’t get Lowell George off my turntable!
