jeez, "albums which changed your life" is a bit strong isn't it?

surely that would imply you base your life around the music you listen to

but if was asked what albums made my musical tastes change drastically i would pick

radiohead - ok computer and kid a

boards of canada - music has the right to children and geogaddi

elliott smith - either/or (though i prefer his s/t)

my bloody valentine - loveless

mogwai - young team

pavement - slanted and enchanted

lightning bolt - wonderful rainbow

black dice - beaches and canyons

Chronologically;

The Muppets Album (gave me a melodic sensibility and a dry sense of humour at a very young age)

The Best Of Sam Cooke (made me a soul boy at heart)

High Land Hard Rain-Aztec Camera (first indie stirrings at the age of 9)

Highway 61 Revisited-Bob Dylan (the greatest lyrics ever' date=' by anyone)

Absolutely Free-Mothers Of Invention (satire and insanely detailed musical vision)

The Who Sell Out (dynamics and perfect pop sensibility)

Best Of Woody Guthrie (like finding some forgotten Bible)

The Band-The Band (exciting music can be made while sitting down, too)

Fairport Convention-Fairport Convention (how to take massive risks within a genre)

Straight Outta Compton-NWA (anger channelled coherently, effectively and with humanity)

Electro Shock Blues-Eels (proves you can still be fun when you're down and out)

That's eleven, and I could probably add another twenty. I'll stop there, otherwise I'll be here all night.[/quote']

i really dont know how i missed out Electro Shock Blues, probably my favourite album ever. plus one that changed my life

and yes, "changed your life" is a bit drastic, but im sure everyone understands what it means

hyperbole

I think you under estimate the power of music...

These two albums, amongst many others, did indeed change my life.

From back in the day:

It would be the Tony Hawks computer games that got the ball rolling for me and my spiral into punk/skate and rock music. Bands like Bodyjar' date=' Goldfinger, Rage, CKy, Zebrahead, Millencolin, to name but a few on the awesome soundtracks in the games. I'd say "hi-five" to the guy that chose the songs for each game, what a hero.

What's been the most influencial event / album / game / person in shaping your taste in music???[/quote']

Although actual albums that had the biggest impact on me...

Michael Jackson - Bad/Dangerous

Oasis - What's The Story (Morning Glory)

Blink 182 - Enema Of The State --------> Biggest influence by a mile

Goldfinger - Hang ups

Zebrahead - Waste of mind

Fenix TX - Lechuza

The Living End - S/T

well...if it weren't for certain albums, i may not have got into music in such a big way and wouldn't have started spending my money on gigs/festivals/cds, maybe wouldn't dress the way i do, maybe be more fashionable, to go liquid, meet different people, etc.

Hmm...

JJ72 - JJ72

At the Drive-In - Relationship of Command

When these 2 albums came out i finally realised there was an alternative to shit indie like the 'Phonics as far as new music was concerned

Manic Street Preachers - The Holy Bible

Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures

Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie

First time i looked to the past for good music. And all three were unlike anything i had previously liked. Also the Holy Bible introduced me to other bands, writers and various other people i should have known about before. To think of it pretty much all the Manics albums do this.
