additions:
the only way i can answer the question is to think about records that mattered to me when i was a kid.
my mother hated all of them. that helped, somehow.
you can never introduce someone to robert johnson too soon.
early weather report was a big deal in my high school world--mysterious traveller in particular.
as was inner mounting flame and the live in central park releases of the mahavishnu orchestra.
on the corner and live/evil by miles davis.
coltrane's live at the village vanguard..later a love supreme, sun ship and interstellar space
king crimson's larks' tongues, starless and bible black and red.
but then i was in high school in the early-to-mid 1970s.
friends of mine felt similarly about sonic youth, skinny puppy, coil, current 93.
