Massive Attack: Collected - yes, unusual to put a best of CD in a album that changed your life, but this opened my eyes to whole new style of music that I had previously written off as 'doof doof' crap. Also may have led to splitting up with my long term girlfriend recently, which is another reason it gets a tick in the box (yes, it was a breakup for the greater good)
A Perfect Circle: Mer de Noms - I am yet to hear an album that has such elegance about it, and opened my eyes to really seek out a more acoustic style of music, especially after the acoustic session that is out on the web. Not to mention involving a violin in what I consider to be one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard (Three Libras)
Smashing Pumpkins: Adore - before you execute me for naming one of their worst CDs as one of the albums that changed my life, let me set the scene. it was year 7 (first year of highschool), and this was my first non-commercial cd. This CD set me on a path to discover music outside the top 40. Having since discovered their other cds, to which outrank this one 10 fold, this CD has a number of under-appreciated tracks, especially For Martha. Fucking awesome track.
