"Maggot Brain"
Band of Gypsies-Hendrix

I can't name specific albums, but stuff by architects like Little Richard, Fats Domino, and Bo Didley that illustrate Black folks' long history of involvement and innovation in the genre.
^^^in agreeance with Maggot Brain
Are You Experienced?-The Jimi Hendrix Experience
Bad Brains-Self Titled aka "the cassette"
Don't forget Chuck Berry. I'd even go as far as saying a simple Best of his should be added to the list.
