it's crazy how many people listed NIN - The Fragile, which is probably #1 on my list. i remember the album not getting good reviews when it came out, but i bought it the day it was released and i probably haven't listened to a cd as much as I have The Fragile.
the rest would be:
Nirvana - In Utero
Cryptopsy - None So Vile
Aphex Twin - Richard D James
....and...
good death metal

Bad / Nationwide
I'm going to try and be honest and chronological....with a little history too.
1984
Van Halen - "1984"
The first cassette I ever bought. I got a "walkman" cassette player so I could listen as loud as I wanted on headphones. I had vinyl too but I had a shitty record player that didn't work anymore. That guitar playing made me want to jump around like a fool. I was 8. All the vinyl I had up to that point was kids stuff and crappy pop music....I saw Van halen playing guitar on the table on TV and I had to have it.
I didn't have MTV....I watched "Night Tracks". Word.
1986 or 87
Metallica - "Master of Puppets"
This was the first actual heavy metal record I ever bought. I inherited a new record player from my uncle because he went to prison. How nice!
Anyway, I don't remember if the walkman quit working or if I just didnt like it anymore, but I started getting vinyl records and not cassettes. My good friend's older brother had this record and I became a metalhead listening to it in his bedroom when he was gone. I don't remember if I bought it or stole it from him.
Anyway, this replaced the shitty punk rock I was listening to with my friends while we skate boarded. I listened to far less punk rock.
I also think I got maybe 2 records a year at this point. Sad days.
1989
Slayer - "Reign In Blood"
The first time I heard this record I thought it sucked terribly. A high school dude had a little boombox on the school bus with me (I was in middle school) and he was listening to it. I thought it sounded dreadful and the singer was awful. Little did I know, a couple years later I would become more devoted to metal and go back and get this record. By around '89 or '90 - I officially loved this stuff. I had a new boombox of my own complete with a headphone jack for my old walkman headphones, and I listened to Slayer in secret and on dubbed cassettes because my mother would have had a cow. This was when I distinctly remember thinking that double bass drumming ruled.
By about 1990 I listened to no more punk rock really.
This is also when almost everything I listened to was on dubbed cassettes. I guess dual tape decks were pretty afordable by then and everybody was passing around copies of tapes. I stopped buying LP's all together.
At this point I could also name some other albums that contributed to a life change but not so dramatically as the others. I remember feeling like a total hard ass because I had a copy of Rigor Mortis' self titled. Damn right!
1991
Cannibal Corpse - "Eaten Back To Life"
I got a dubbed copy of this from a buddy at school and that was when I officially became obsessed with growled vocals and death metal. The more brutal the better, the gorier the better.
This is also when I got into tape trading. I was reading magazines and discovering new bands by looking at people's t-shirts and silly shit like that. I was exchanging tapes by mail with a few people.
I had alot of shitty sounding tapes, and some I didn't even know who they were. Those were the good old days. I used to get big manilla envelopes in the mail full of cut out pieces of paper with band names on them and home made bullshit like that along with a few tapes. I miss that.
I didn't have another very life altering discovery until about.....
1993
Death - "Individual Thought Patterns"
I bought this cassette I believe based on an ad in a magazine...I can't remember. I do remember seeing it advertised. What I also remember is being blown away by the music, which seemed to make everything else I had experienced pale in comparison. This is when I realized that extremity didn't have to be about gore or violence - but it could be intellectual and express realistic emotions, emotions that I could relate to personally. This was a breakthrough for me both musically and as a person. Death became an inspiration to me on multiple levels.
I began to pay special attention to bands in this vein and the next album WHICH WAS THE FIRST ACTUAL COMPACT DISC that belings on this list was in...
1994
Cynic - "Focus"
To this day, I still believe this is the best album ever made. What else can I say?
It took me several years to appreciate this record as much as I do today, but even back then I was totally taken aback by it. I knew it was something special. It was so complex and textured and the lyrical messages were totally transcendant. I remember seeing a T-shirt for Focus that said "Strength and Integrity" or something like that. I have always pictured that when I listen to Focus and it is still overwhelming to me every time I hear it.
I have the original CD shelved to never be listened to again...except for maybe a special occasion. I listen to the reissue that they put out a few years ago quite regularly still. I have occasionally gone for a couple of years without listening to it. I do the same thing with my old Death CD's. Eventually I put them in again and realize that nothing since has had the same impact on me and I suppose nothing ever will.
Honorable mentions would include, Atheist - "Unquestionable Presence" which simply doesn't trump either Death or Cynic but is in the same category for me.
Megadeth - "Peace Sells" which is the first time I rememeber feeling like I was doing something wrong by listening to an album.
There are lots of other records that have had huge impacts on me as a musician and as a more experienced music fan, but those records I listed totally changed my life.
Sorry for the long ass post....it was nice to reminisce.
