Despite our pretensions, the RS 500 is a decent beginning of a musical canon of modern music. I was wondering, along with a couple other users, how many RS 500 albums each user has listened to, and which albums they haven't. Here's the list (2012 updated version). Along with giving a number of the albums you've listened to and listing what albums you haven't, list the albums you discovered via (at least primarily) the RS 500 that remain your favorites to this day. Feel free to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the list, both of which are many.

These are the ones I'm pretty sure I haven't heard in full (and I accidentally did not include some because I erased them from the list without thinking so this isn't the full one, but close enough).

52 Al Green – Greatest Hits
54 Ray Charles – The Birth of Soul: The Complete Atlantic Rhythm and Blues Recordings 1952-1959
107 Sam Cooke – Portrait of a Legend 1951-1964
119 Etta James – At Last!
132 Various Artists – Saturday Night Fever
142 Phil Spector – A Christmas Gift for You from Phil Spector
159 Kiss – Alive
164 Linda Ronstadt – The Very Best of Linda Ronstadt
178 Curtis Mayfield & The Impressions – The Anthology 1961-1977
196 Various Artists – Nuggets: Original Artyfacts from the First Psychedelic Era, 1965-1968
220 The Meters – Look-Ka Py Py
254 Otis Redding – Complete & Unbelievable: The Otis Redding Dictionary of Soul
274 Labelle – Nightbirds
280 U2 – All That You Can't Leave Behind
281 Mary J. Blige – My Life
305 Lucinda Williams – Car Wheels On A Gravel Road
311 Various Artists – The Sun Records Collection
318 The O'Jays – Back Stabbers
338 Big Brother & The Holding Company – Cheap Thrills
363 Order – Substance
375 Jackson Browne – Late For The Sky
377 John Lee Hooker – The Ultimate Collection (1948-1990)
379 TLC – Crazysexycool
380 Toots and The Maytals – Funky Kingston
388 Various Artists – The Indestructible Beat of Soweto
439 Sam Cooke – Live At The Harlem Square Club, 1963
447 Stan Getz & João Gilberto – Getz/Gilberto
459 The Drifters – The Drifters' Golden Hits
471 Richard and Linda Thompson – I Want to See the Bright Lights Tonight
474 Manu Chao – Próxima Estación: Esperanza
478 Loretta Lynn – All Time Greatest Hits
482 Steve Earle – Guitar Town
489 Kiss – Destroyer
492 Eurythmics – Touch
495 Bonnie Raitt – Give It Up

EDIT: And just as a side note, most of what I haven't heard are the compilations (and I think I probably left out around 10 or so on the list by mistake), but there are also those albums I couldn't stand much of or those albums I just didn't think I'd care for. I also don't remember listening to Faith by George Michaels as well as some other albums while I was going over the list. Ones I don't remember listening to I put on this list, but I did forget to add quite a few now that I look back on it. I'm just attempting to stress the point that I've listened to a lot less on this list than I may have let on mainly because of highlighting errors and going through it a bit too fast.
