Oh, I love threads like this!
chronologically, as much as I can tell....
My Mom and Dad's albums...early stuff:
Bridge Over Troubled Water - Simon and Garfunkel
Alice's Restaurant - Arlo Guthrie
The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Let It Be and Abbey Road
Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited, Bringing It All Back Home, Blonde on Blonde
George Harrison - All Things Must Pass
McCartney - Paul McCartney
The Who - Tommy Movie Soundtrack
South Pacific - Broadway version
Jesus Christ Superstar - Movie soundtrack
Then when I started buying my own stuff...
Cabaret - Movie Soundtrack
Kiss - Destroyer
Queen - Night at the Opera
Elton John - Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy
Saturday Night Fever - Movie Soundtrack - ya can't deny I loved it
Steely Dan - Can't Buy a Thrill
Bob Dylan - Blood on the Tracks
Billy Joel - 52nd Street
The Police - Regatta de Blanc
The Clash - London Calling
The B-52s - self-titled
Talking Heads - Remain in Light
After that point the only music I'd consider life-changing that I ever found would be Radiohead...The Bends absolutely changed my life...maybe The Shins, Dave Matthews Band...
