Cool thread-

1- Micheal Jackson - Bad , It was the last pop I ever listened to , it made me realize why I shouldn't listen to pop.
2 - Twisted Sister - Stay Hungry - the first metal I ever bought
3 - Def Leppard - Hysteria - fond memories
4 - G 'n R - Apprtite for Destruction - fonder memories
5 - AC/DC - Back in black - first metal ever listened to , really listen
6 - Iron Maiden - The number of the beast - c'mon it's a fuckin' classic!
7 - Pink Floyd - Dark Side & Momentary Laps of Reason - Anyone who thinks they're overrated can go fuck themselves.
8 - Metallica - And Justice for All - One of those I can get burned out on.
9 - Megadeth - Rust in Peace & Youthanasia - Melodic right through
10 - Alice Cooper - Hey Stoopid - one of the only albums ever that doesn't have one shitty song on it.
11 - Therapy - Troublegum - Just because no one ever mentions them and I like them!

Why 11 - You must be out of your fuckin' mind if you think think I ever bought Michael Jackson!

Korn-Issues: Hey we gotta start somewhere and this was my introduction to metal

Fiona Apple-Tidal: Before I listened to Fiona I was a very emotionally supressed kid. On my fourteenth birthday I picked up this album, and when Never is a Promise came on I just broke down crying, it was the first time I had cried in years. This album was my first step away from being the weak human I once was and recognizing my strength.

Pink Floyd-Wish You Were Here/ King Crimson- In the Court of the Crimson King: Got both of these around the same time. They really helped broaden my concepts of music, opening me up to unconventional song structers, various instruments, lengthier songs, concept albums and so forth.

Dead Can Dance- Within a Realm of a Dying Sun: Helped open me up to an entire new world of music and helped me gain an apprication of older and more traditional styles of music.

Opeth- Still Life:Well the prog elements had already been taken care of by King Crimson and Pink Floyd, but this was when I finally gave in and decided I'd tollerate extreme vocals, soon enough I loved them.

Emperor-Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk: My enterence into the world of black metal, which has since had a major impact on my outlook on life.

Agalloch-The Mantle/ Burzum-Hvis Lyset Tar Oss: Helped me find my pagan roots and see my place in nature as well as the sham that is modern scociety. These albums were the perfect catylists to help set my thoughts free.

Neurosis- Through Silver in Blood: Well I was one short, so this will do since they really have an excleent kcack for breaking you down and opening you up.
