Haha I thought of this too.
Although I think the best rap album for people who don't like rap is The Heist - Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, although most hip hop fans don't like it.

this is good for non-convectional hip-hop listeners.
I don't know what you mean by three recommendations per day. Do you cut replies off after three from anyone? Three per person? You choose three per day?
Try Ambientium - Fractal Philosophy
One of my favorite albums that I listened to in 2011. The second track literally gave me an attack of euphoria one night when I listened to it. Genre is psybient or electronica.
Ocean Songs is a post-rock album from 1997, all instrumental, mainly fiddle, drums and guitar.
For me it took a while to get into the album and start liking it. The sound stays quite similar throughout the album and at least I had hard time even distinguishing the songs at first. However, once you get comfortable with the sound, you start appreciating the wonderful flow and feel of the album. The songs change from calm to stormy and back in slowly adjusting patterns and somehow manage to invoke the feeling of tidal waves, whirlpools and drifts. The album really manages to sound like an ocean.
Jim White is probably my favourite drummer and Warren Ellis (of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds) is amazing on violin too.
I don't know if this is exactly an album for a day, it probably needs certain circumstances to catch the mood and to appreciate, but it's certainly worth a try. Personally I had to leave it playing on the background for a while before the songs slowly 'creeped' in and started making sense. Now it's one of my favourite albums ever.
The album definitely works best when you listen it all the way through, but I guess some of the longer songs are quite good on their own too.
Edit: Hmm, how is the 'only three recommendations a day' supposed to go? My apologies if I breached some limitation there. My initial thought it was three per poster.
i'm assuming ya'll gonna get ignored for not following the rules. too many people eager to throw music at a person, not so eager to swallow foreign suggestions themselves.
i'm curious to see if OP will actually follow through. that other thread was a disappointment. this kind of thing might work better as a trading of suggestions than a 1 way street.
have fun with ITCOTKC, OP. tis a fun one. cept for moonchild. fuck that song.

pure genius
Yeah, what are talking about? Moonchild is great, the first 2 and half minutes are amazing and then the rest is just like... I dunno, but it's so great.
Edit: In response to above. In the Court of the Crimson King is my all time favourite album, but I've only listened to Red once or twice I think. I guess I better give it another shot, especially considering In the Court of the Crimson King was not love at first sight.

one of fripp's finest moments without a doubt. epic and minimalist all at once
i'll try moonchild again, but i really don't get it.
i wouldn't worry too much about it, really
edit: I'm rockin' some Red right now, fucking genius. the bass on this album!
