re: Has there been an album that has literally changed your life?

Led Zeppelin's Physical Graffiti didn't change my life, but I still vividly remember being that pre-teen kid in the mid 70's lying on the shag carpet of our living room floor playing that album over and over again, specifically Kashmir, which really did take me away to a faraway place. And still does, all these years later.

MBV Loveless + LSD did completely change my world view.
But I think that was the LSD. I don't think any album really stands out as changing my life, more than 20 or 30 other albums

My buddy Colorado bringing down a recording of Panic Huntsville '96.
shite fricked me up good for about 9 years.
100 shows later and I finally retired around 2006.

When I was 13 I was at best buy and I used my allowance to buy Dark Side of the Moon.
I went home and listened to it all night on loop and it blew my fricking mind.
I had my dad start teaching me guitar the next day and I listened to all the Floyd I could get my hands on.
To this day, I've never heard anything that knocked me on my arse like the first time I heard Dark Side all the way through.
It shaped my taste is music, it shaped the rhythmic hypnotic way I play my guitar, and it shaped the way write poetry and lyrics.

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
This sounds like my story! Late at night in New Orleans listening to WNOE (then an album rock station, now country). That 23 minute live version of Whipping Post is still one of my absolute favorites, and introduced me for the first time to what "jamming" really was.

Metallica - Master of Puppets
I'd never heard music at that speed.
Jane's Addiction - Nothing's Shocking
Literally tranced out as Up the Beach turned into Ocean Size
Pavement - Watery, Domestic EP
Ordered this and Slanted & Enchanted at the same time from Matador. Opened the gate to indie that I've never closed.

Black Sabbath - Paranoid
I was a pretty hardcore country music fan and then....my brother had me listen to War Pigs one day.
War Pigs blew my 16 year old mind to pieces.
Then to end it with Fairies Wear Boots. 8 songs of Iommi's rifts and solos, Ozzy's haunting vocals, Ward beating his drum set into submission and Geezer's thundering baselines. I have been hooked on hard rock, heavy metal since then.

As a teen...Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms. It was the first digitally recorded album I listened to, and it had the extended version of Latest Trick.
About that same time...The Big Easy Soundtrack...as a kid growing up in Appalachia, there wasn't much Zydeco music around.
In college...10 Summoner's Tales - Sting.
Forgot to add...as a kid, I would ride around with my older brother in his car...he would crank up Led Zeppelin IV. The first time I heard Black Dog, it blew my mind.

hank 3- straight to hell I always dabbled in a little C&W style music. Skynyrd, 38 special ect.... This is the one record that made me realize there is some really good country music. Hank 3, Blackberry smoke, David Allen Coe ect.... Nothing at all like the pop-country crap on the radio.

There have been 4:
Kiss Alive II
I was 10 years old. I discovered the album on my own, was the first on my block to have it, and it was mine. And it was awesome. And nobody could take it from me.
Wynton Marsalis Trumpet Concertos
Really pushed me to try to be a great trumpet player. I ordered the sheet music and, after a LOT of practice, I could play along with the best trumpet player on the planet.
Sade Promise
Helen Folasade Adu's silky smooth voice and Stuart Matthewman's plaintive sax riffs really hit the sweet spot on my eardrums.
Diana Krall Love Scenes
I heard "Peel Me A Grape" in 1998, shortly after my first marriage dissolved. and couldn't believe how amazing this middle aged black woman could sing. Ordered the CD from Columbia House (Yes, the clubhouse!) and found out it was a young white woman. I had lost "my music" during my marriage, and Diana Krall and this CD made me realize how much I missed it and how much music had to be a part of my life, and no bitch would ever take if from me again.
Honorable Mention:
Van Halen Van Halen
Adele 21
First Aid Kit Stay Gold

I respect your opinion. No matter how wrong it is.

You think My Chemical Romance changed pop music in the 2000s, yet I am wrong. It is to laugh. I would venture to say that most people cannot even name 2 MCR songs, but they had a profound impact.

i had been in and out of juvy for most of my formative years. i was running with a bad crowd, tagging any empty wall we'd see, huffing the residue, and always blaring shite like Lifehouse and 3 Doors Down. you had to be that way to survive in my neighborhood. it wasn't until i got to my second foster home when i heard my new dad listening to Oasis - (What's the Story?) Morning Glory. the first couple of tracks were ok i guess, but "Wonderwall" stirred something inside of me. i started doing better in school and ditched the bad influences. i held on long enough to finish high school and get a good job as a pipe fitter. i probably would have ended up dead if i kept going down that path. i pretty much owe my life to the Gallagher brothers.
