Metamodern Sounds by Sturgill and Currents from Tame Impala both had a serious impact on my life and musical interests in 2015. I'll always have a place for those.

I heard this all the way through for the first time at 17. Just chilling after a party at a friends house, was blown away and went to the record store the next day.

I feel like DOSTM is a record that everyone remembers where they were when they first heard it

Might be cliché, but Tommy. I was 14, which is sort of the perfect age to hear that for the first time.

It may not have been the most influential for me, but it was definitely the first CD I got that opened my world to guitars.

Damn that's a bit anticlimactic. Have you listened to the Wall all the way through?
Posted on 4/12/16 at 12:50 am to SEClint
I wouldn't say it changed my life, but Aeroplane Over the Sea completely changed how I look at music.
Posted on 4/12/16 at 12:52 am to 225bred
Yes, I've listened to everything now. I heard The Wall the way a man should: making the terrible mistake of turning the volume up all the way because for some strange reason I could barely hear the first 17 seconds.

In the late 60s, and early 70s, your average local radio station was playing Cream, Steppen Wolf, The Beatles, Hendrix, and I loved all of it, but did not own a stereo or any records and had no little knowledge of the people I heard on the radio. A friend told me about KAAY out of Little Rock and "Beaker Street", the first night I tuned in they played the full version of "Whipping Post" from ABB live at the Filmore. I had never heard the ABB before or even a live rock recording of any type. The next day I took all my paper route money and bought a stereo and the album. That one event started a never ending love of all things guitar.

For me it was August and Everything After by Counting Crows.
Say what you want about whiny Adam or simple song structure, every song on this album was quality. I'm not sure what exactly I was doing but I was very young and somewhat drunk when "Round Here" came on and lyrically just made me sit there in awe. Beautiful record. I've since parted ways with my enjoyment of that group but visiting that album really brings me back to a place that otherwise I don't think I could get.

Ramones - Pleasant Dreams.
When I heard it, I had no idea there was a body of music that was not played on FM radio.

Certainly as many have pointed out, DSOM was a game changer. However the one that made the biggest impact on me was Todd Rundgren's Utopia. Specifically, the title track. I had a good friend that was always trying to get me to listen to what would eventually become known as progressive rock. Most of it just didn't resonate with me. But as soon as I heard that song, a switch inside me flipped. I guess you could say I finally "got it". That was the one that got me started down the prog rock rabbit hole.

Definitely DSOTM.
Not really in a "life altering" kinda way, but it was very important during a time period of my life. I first got into older music (ie, stuff not on the radio) when I was in about 9th grade and DSOTM is one of the first albums I really got into. There was a lot of less than pleasant stuff going on in my family at the time, and many times, almost daily, I'd come home go to my room and just listen to dark side to get my mind off things.

Zep IV. It blew my 7 yr old mind and I got a guitar that very same week.
