NIN - The Downward Spiral
TMBG - Flood ... got this for free, and i listen to it all the time, just now it is on my iPod. I still go see TMBG when they come to Austin each year. Paul Okenfold - Tranceport ... the first techno cd i ever bought and probably still the best although Juno Reactor Bible of Dreams comes in a close second. Hellsing OST - RUINS ... My first foray into Japanese music and it is an anime soundtrack, almost all the tracks are in English so that is a plus |

And in my young age.....a rock group that really made me appreciate rock had to be this band and this CD right here. First time I heard Jeremy my jaw dropped at how amazing it was. Before that I only really ever heard the older stuff my parents used to play for me. Like Queen and Bowie...and Chicago or Super Tramp....among others.
Asta!!

evanescence - fallen
this album changed my life because it showed me a different side of music and feelings. I never listened to too many women singers before Amy Lee but now im open to a lot more music...and i love her depressed views about life. I can relate it helps the days go by sometimes |

Although I have a couple, the most memorable for changing the way I view a great deal are Metallica - Black album and Nirvana - In Utero.
I could write a page about this stuff but I will keep it simple - they just worked for me. The music was engrossing and opened me up to earlier music/albums they put together. Nirvana led me to the whole Seattle sound and bands along those roots. I still enjoy sitting back, as I am doing at the moment, going through video clips from these original albums.

Isis - Oceanic
Cult of Luna - Salvation Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Yanqui U.X.O. Agalloch - The Mantle Protest the Hero - Kezia Russian Circles - Enter I do not attend church but I am a spiritual person. These are some of the albums that, to me, are far more than just music. Whether it's the furious, barely contained energy of Kezia or the mournful chords of The Mantle, these are some of the albums that always send shivers down my spine and remind me what it is to be human - they are some of my only posessions that I truly value. |

It's been a real long time since I've even cared about such things......but the one that probably mattered most was Roxy Music "For Your Pleasure"
http://www.superseventies.com/sproxymusic2.html The old reviews are pretty funny...dudes didn't "get it"....but I did. OMG! One reveiwer says "The Art Deco of rock" too cool!

In some sort of chronological order of my discovering them:
- Guns N' Roses - Appetite For Destruction - This came out when I was in 7th grade, and up to that point, I was your typical 80's pop fan. Suddenly here was something that was dark, ugly, and extremely tantalizing for a 13 year old boy. - Metallica - And Justice For All - The GNR lead me to this, opening up my first peek into metal and music that wasn't on the radio - Pink Floyd - A Momentary Lapse of Reason - A weird album to get into the band with, but PF became my favorite band of all time. I went from this to The Wall, then DSOTM, and then the rest. I would buy used vinyl for $2 an album and dub them to tapes for my walkman. - Ministry - The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste - Heard it at a party in 10th grade. I had never heard anything so fast, so heavy. - Nirvana - Nevermind - It was like someone turned on a light bulb in the darkness that was early 90's dance pop. Music mattered again. - Bad Examples - Cheap Beer Night - My first taste of a "local" music scene when I moved to Chicago for college. - Ralph Covert - Eat at Godot's - Bad Examples singer/songwriter's first solo effort. One of those albums that you swear EVERY song was written about you and you alone. - Beastie Boys - Check Your Head - Completely redefined what hip hop could be. I'll think of more

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...

there are many. another day, the list would be different too. in no particular order: captain beefheart: trout mask replica mothers of invention: freak out, we're only in it for the money john coltrane: a love supreme, impressions (india in particular) art ensemble of chicago: nice guys eric dolphy: out to lunch stockhausen: klavierstucke 1-11 john cage: sonatas for prepared piano, imaginary landscape 4 (for 12 shortwave radios) eliane radigue: adnos john carter: nightfire, castles of ghana, ghosts erik satie: vexations chris watson: weather report genesis: the lamb lies down on broadway fripp and eno: evening star my bloody valentine: loveless fela anikulapo kuti: kalakuta show, zombie, black president, original sufferhead sun ra: space is the place, concert for the comet kahotek, cosmis tones for mental therapy, out there a minute george russell: the african game i forgot about roxy music--they were a really big deal to me when i was in high school. just the idea that another way of doing things was possible, with that level of glam degeneracy--turned a new hampshire boy's head all around. actually, there's tons of stuff. i have had my brain rearranged by a number of performances as well, and these not necessarily by folk who are particularly well-known--just that particular night in my particular state of mind etc... music will fuck you up. it's lovely that way.

It All Started with Nivrana - Bleach, they were the first band to get me INTO music.
When Kurt died I was at a bit of a loss and it was a difficult time in my life. He was no longer a hero cuz he gave up. I couldn't listen to Nirvana... U2 - Zooropa and Led Zepplin - Physical Graffiti were introduced into my life. I think these albums saved my life. I still remember poping in Zooropa everytime I was stressed. "Down by the Seaside" always made me think of better times to come. Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dreams - This album got me laid. Especially disk2. I have a possitive anchor to almost every song Chemical Brothers - Dig Your Own Hole - brought new energy into my life. They are one of the few bands I still listen too on an almost daily basis. Amon Tobin - Permutation - I was introduced to his music by a friend and his sexy, jazzy beats have been a muse for me ever since. Though my love of Amon Tobin I found the Thievery Corporation I think that's about it...I listen to allot of music but now days I download songs rather then whole albums. Music continues to play a major role in my life and gives me spirit to move forward. |

The Strokes: Room On Fire. Turned me onto rock and roll and then indie which I am constantly emersed i now.

Gosh, can't believe I hadn't answered this one yet.
First, Judas Priest, Screaming for Vengence. Got from my brother, it was my epiphany, for the love of metal. Second, Ramones, Mania. This is a compilation, but made me love, love punk music. Third, RATM, self titled. Man this was great. Forth, Stone Temple Pilots, Core. I still listen to the whole thing, at least once a month. Fifth, Public Enemy, It takes a nation. This was a killer album. And many many more, these are off the top of my head. Of course there's some Led Zep, and Pink Floyd in there too, in the top 10. |

london calling - the clash
i was a who freak in high school. a total pete townsend disciple. i would buy & read anything with his name on it.
rolling stone had an interview with him in ~1979 & asked him what his favorite band was. he said the clash. i bought london calling, and that album pulled me from a life of listening to "classic rock" forever into a world where i am constantly looking for new stuff. i have it mounted next to the elvis presley cover that it ripped off....... it changed my ears.

As for my picks, I will only list four (right now), I know they have been listed on here before but they have had a huge impact on me: Nirvana - Nevermind - first Nirvana CD I ever listened to, I was young and it opened my eyes to Nirvana and I have never looked back. Rage Against the Machine - Self Titled - This CD had so much energy and anger in it, I love it! Led Zeppelin - Untitled (aka IV) - This album makes me happy in so many ways. It is the one that got me interested in Classic Rock and I am thankful everyday for that. and more recently Wolfmother - Self Titled - This is a complete throwback to Classic Rock. It never fails to help cheer me up if I've had a long crappy day. The album feels very epic and helps my imagination run away with itself.

This is an easy one for me. It's The White Room by The KLF. Not only was this the first CD I ever owned, it also impacted (albeit somewhat indirectly) my life with regard to literature, sci-fi and metaphysics. And it's a pretty cool CD, as well.
I was a big fan of The KLF in when they released The White Room in 1991. About six years ago I got curious about what they had been up to, so I began searching for information on the internet. It turned out that The White Room contains many themes from a set of books called The Illuminatus! Trilogy. So, of course, I went out and bought The Illuminatus! Trilogy. It's one of the most fascinating and entertaining books I've ever read fnord.

A tape of RATM someone gave me (with the tibetan monk burning).
The Roots - Things Fall Apart ...was the first REAL Hip-Hop album I was given (I think most rap isn't Hip Hop), and since I've been finding out about similar music that I really like. Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon. Oh man. I can't describe it in words. It's truly a life-changing experience. And a DVD that I watched and listened to while staying at my friends apt for what was an unforgettable week: Stevie Ray Vaughan - Austin City Limits. Beautiful, amazing music. |

G&R~ Appetite for Destruction
I remember watching Welcome to the Jungle for the first time on MTV at my buddies house. I went out and bought the tape, and day after day listen to it over and over. Garth Brooks~ Ropin the Wind I liked his first one too, but Roping the Wind. Was the first country album that I ever bought. George Micheal's~ Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1 Don't Laugh he was the shit back then. I loved that CD and listen to it all the time. Queensryche~ operation mindcrime At first I really didn't care what they were singing about. I just liked it. Later I got the whole message/story Morphine~ Cure for Pain All I could think was wow! I loved it, played it over and over. Something that I never heard before

The first album that even made me aware of the music sceene was Pearl Jam's Animal. This was when it was on cassette.
My first CD purchased though was The Offspring's - Smash. The song about road rage made me thing that they were super hard at the time. My first rap album that got me hooked was Dr. Dre's Chronic 2001 that my cousin gave me as a gift. Before that it was all singles off of the radio or ftp sites. |

The biggest...Metallica - Master of Puppets. Now, I got that long after it was released, but before I listened to it I was listening to mostly mainstream stuff (Which, in the nineties, meant NSync and Backstreet Boys mostly.) So I thought this would have been completely against my style. I was so wrong. That album changed me practically over night.
Another big one is In Your Honor by the Foo Fighters. That one got me in the heart. I find it is the one album I can listen to when I have writers block, and come out with a rejuvenated flow of ingenuity. Honorable mentions go to The Battle for Los Angeles by Rage Against the Machine and Lateralus by Tool.
