Fantastic album! definitelly in my list, along with :

Manic Street Preachers - Generation Terrorists (educated me in many ways)

Aerosmith - Nine Lives (first real album I bought when I was 10)

Frank Sinatra & Count Basie - Live at the Sands (Got me listening to jazz and swing)

And more recently Felt Mountain and Black Cherry by Goldfrapp have shown me how there's more than one way to make music.

Queen's greatest hits - the album that started the road downwards

ELO - Time - introdiced me to the epic feel of music that i still love

Def Leppard - Hysteria - probably thre one album that got me into great guitar music

Asia - Asia - the first album i ever bought, changed a lot

Marillion - Script for a Jesters Tear - from the foirst time i heard Chelsea Monday i figured this vand could write the soundtrack of my live

Marillion - Brave -=Showed that porg didn't have to be 70's and could be modern, influenced Radioheasd's OK Computer, can't be bad

Fish - Vigil in a Wilderness of Mirrors - strated a solo career that has changed the way i go to gigs and the sheer numbers

Barenaked Ladies - Gordon - showed that the most imprtant thing is not to take yourself too seirously

Jo McCafferty - Nothing Whispered to Katy - Probably influenced and changed my life more tha any other becaise without hearing the demoes for this album i wouldn't have met my best friend and wouldn#'t have done half of hat i have done.

Transvision Vamp - Velveteen - The first album that made me realise you could be commercial and different, and provided me with a huge crush on Wendy James

Cheers

Stuart

Manic Street Preachers - The Holy Bible

It really changed my outlook on the world, made me see where my morals should lie, and basically helped me develop as a person.

Plus along with Generation Terrorists, and to a lesser extent Gold Against The Soul, I was introduced to a whole world of books, films and music that I had never known about before. The Clash debut also helped me see how important it was to try and use songs for social change. Those four albums are probably the only one's I'd call "life changing" in that I did actually change certain aspects of my life for the better as a direct result of listening to these albums. I'd say that I have learnt more as a result of listening to the Manics than I have in 13 years of school and 4 years of uni. I certainly never got introduced to Burroughs, Ballard and Camus in English, there was no mention of socialism, communism, fascism or anarchism in modern studies, and history never touched upon the russian revolution or the Khymer Rouge.

Any other albums I mention would just be albums I really like, which is pretty much what everyone else seems to be doing. I could mention some album Mike Patton has been on and said "this changed my opinion on how vocals should sound" or Appetite For Destruction and say "this made me see how great guitar can be", but that's not life changing. Looking at some music in a different light isn't life changing, it just changes how you look at music. I mean, a petty criminal isn't going to suddenly see the error of his ways just because he discovered an album with really awesome guitar solos on it, is he?

I mean seriously, the only reason an Oasis album could be described as "life changing" is if it made you decide you wanted to be an arrogant prick like the Gallaghers. Or if you suddenly thought "fuck, I don't want to be a tosser like these guys, I'm gonna have to change". Presumably so anyway.

No offence intended to anyone who chose Oasis albums by the way. Not too much anyway.
