-Early : Guns & Roses, Appetite for destruction.

-Mid : Nirvana, Nevermind. The pixies, surfa rosa, hello pilgrim.

Late : Pink Floyd, Dark side of the moon. Radiohead, paranoid android, Kid A.

Any album by The Smiths.

But there were so many albums that were a huge moment of discovery and played such a crucial role in my musical education.

Nirvana’s Nevermind probably saved my life. Gene’s album, Olympian got me out of my bedroom and enabled me to be a bit more sociable. Then, in my late teens, We Are The Romans by Botch completely changed my music tastes, and I started to listen to really heavy music. All pivotal moments in my early life.

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.

I used to listen to it on my Walkman at night, for hours on repeat. I knew those songs contained feelings I had yet to experience and decades later I know exactly what she was writing about with some of them. ‘Loving you is like a battle/And we both end up with scars’ are especially poignant lyrics, for me.

For me it was Dookie by Green Day. Opened up the world of punk rock for me, which led me to punk, then to more heavy metal. My best friends but brother was in a band and we would listen to their music and we ended up starting our own eventually!

Lark by Linda Lewis.

As a teenage boy I fell in love with Linda and would play the LP constantly (much to my brother's annoyance!). For me it is simply a selection of beautiful songs, all written and sung by Linda, who has the most amazing range.

She remains one of my favourite singers.

This is such a good shout. Came out just as I started uni, and I was obsessed. The duet with Mary J Blige is off the scale too. Remember writing (yes, it was that long ago!*) to my best friend (woman; for the 'can we be compatible' thread readers) about bits of the album we liked down to the specific second on a certain track (yes, sad, I know). 'Baduizm' by Erykah Badu in similar vein, too.

And as a bit of an Indie Kid too, Different Class by Pulp has always stayed with me! (Sorry, that's three).

Very hard to pin it down to one album.

A Nod's As Good As A Wink by Faces shaped some of my early youth, that and Rod Stewart's Every Picture Tells a Story gave my inspiration to play guitar and sing. Close To The Edge by Yes and Rick Wakeman's Six Wives of Henry VIII pushed me musically.

Really hard to narrow it down to just one album…

Love Metal by HIM

American Idiot by Green Day

By the Way by Red Hot Chilli Peppers

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park

Those are the albums released when I was a teenager, other artists that I fell in love with as a teenager (or earlier) are Nirvana, Queen, Michael Jackson, Guns & Roses… many more, but those are the ones that jump out at me from memory.

Some fine choices in this thread.

For me, probably The Looks or the Lifestyle by Pop Will Eat Itself.

It’s not big, it’s not clever, and it wasn’t meant to be. But it made my music taste, and my life, take a big old swerve away from the mainstream and I’ll forever be thankful for that.

Quite a few, but I guess the one that moved me away from mainstream music and led me to a different social grouping was:

The Velvet Underground and Nico

Def Leppard - Hysteria…

Up until that point I’d not really listened to music consistently as the vast majority of stuff I was exposed to was 80’s chart stuff which really didn’t interest me.

Next door neighbour lent me his copy of Hysteria and it blew me away… been a rock and metal fan ever since

Machine gun etiquette - The Damned

Never mind the bollocks - Sex Pistols

Setting sons - The Jam

Fresh fruit for rotten vegetables - Dead Kennedys

Bad music for bad people - The Cramps

Fried - Julian Cope

The Electro albums, where you got to here stuff like Afrikkaa Bambaata, Newcleus, Doug E Fresh etc. You might just get to hear them on the radio if you were prepared to stay up half the night.

Gabriel era Genesis.

The Jam, which then got me into the Kinks.

For me, it was Superunknown, by Soundgarden, which I first heard in 1995. It blew me away. Before that I vaguely remember listening to my cousin's ACDC records, but Soundgarden hooked me hard.

"Music has had zero inpacked on my life sorry.."

This is possibly the saddest thing I've ever read.

I can only assume that you've not yet heard the right music.

For me, there's too many albums that have had an impact on me that I couldn't name just one.

Bat out of Hell, Slippery When Wet, Appitite for Distruction, Shake your Money Maker (Black Crows), Bigger Better Faster More (4 Non Blondes), London 0 Hull 4 (Housemartins), Stoosh (Skunk Anansie), Little Earthquakes (Tori Amos).... and many many more

Soundtrack to my life can’t believe people say they have no interest in music, it’s a major influence on who I am today (I’m still stuck in the mid to late 80s) )

"Metallica - And Justice For All...

Bloody awesome album!"

I was already into rock... This was my intro to metal and I grabbed it with both hands... One is my favourite Metallica song and it was my first one... I also have the Metallica style M tattooed on my back because of their influence on my life
