I hope we haven't had this discussion before but my brain is like gruyere sometimes ...
What were the albums that changed your life, changed your perception of music, even got you INTO music or into a new style of music ...

Metallica - Load



No shit! This is the album that was the key to metal, when I was 11 years old. I'm not quite sure if I'd be into metal without this one.
Anyway, I don't like it anymore of course, but it made me check out the other Metallica albums, which blew me away.

 

[Mariner]

Albums that were really important for me and not just a list of important albums

Judgement
Radiohead - OK Computer
Iron Maiden - Killers
Moonspell - Sin (actually their gig at graspop 1998 was even more important to me)

 

[DragonLady1]

hm, by the way, forgot Megadeth - Rust In Peace... RULES!!!!!!!!!

 

[Incendiare]

Anathema - Judgement
Katatonia - Tonight's Decision
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
Isis - Oceanic
My Dying Bride - Like Gods of the Sun
The Beatles - Abbey Road
Nevermore - Dreaming Neon Black

 

[sol83]

metallica and maiden got me into music back in '94. tons of bands and artists followed...

 

[Nina]

There are only few. There's no album that really changed my life though.

*Tiamat - A Deeper Kind Of Slumber
*Opeth - Deliverance
*Type O Negative - October Rust
* ...all Anathema albums since The Silent Enigma are very special to me. Seems like I grew older together/simultaneously with those albums.

 

[Mick Moss]

Dio - Dream Evil (oh dear)
Celtic Frost - To Mega Therion
Yes - Close to the edge
Yes - Relayer

 

[cedarbreed]

none.

I swapped a Rambo knife for Killers on cassette.
Bad move, I'd be at Everton now if it wasnt for that

 

[Morpheus]
