November, 1975
Brian Eno's third album was where he arguably invented ambient pop, turning away from the oddball glam rock songs of his first two (very good) solo outings in favor of calm, pictorial instrumentals and only the occasional vocal tune. Another Green World is more of a playful sound environment than a traditional album, and was especially groundbreaking upon its arrival in 1975.
