Loveless by My Bloody Valentine
Introduced me to the musical world of atmosphere and density, haven't looked back since.

Is a fricking great song! Haven't gotten a chance to watch the documentary but I rank them among my favorite bands and consider Spiderland one of the greatest records ever.

Bon Iver's self titled album. Justin Vernon went into a cabin in Wisconsin and wrote the entire thing himself. To me, he is the greatest artist of our generation.
Also, "For Emma, Forever Ago" also by Bon Iver had a HUGE impact on me when I was younger

There are probably quite a few albums that had a great impact on me, but one that really changed my outlook on music was Animal Collective-Merriweather Post Pavilion.
Not only could I not get into Animal Collective, but I resented them for whatever college-kid angsty reason.
But one day, I gave that album one more chance, and it clicked HARD. It is now one of my all-time favorite albums, and it taught the valuable lesson to not hate on what you don't understand, because you just might actually love it.

Not to a major extent. Maybe Aqualung had some influence. I was really just starting to think for myself and a freshman at a small religious college. Aqualung went over like a turd in a punch bowl with a lot of people there. Needless to say I played it often.

I got the doc for free when I bought the record. It's really well done. The whole album is basically one take, they recorded it in less than a weekend. Amazing how a group of kids churned out a masterpiece considering they only had 1 or 2 shots at every song. Those guys totally had their shite together.

It's cliche, but - outside The Wall, I didn't listen to much Pink Floyd as a kid. I first listened to Dark Side of the Moon as an adult - in my 20s. And, because of reviews, the reputation and just the way the album is arranged, I listened to it as a single album (albeit on CD), in a single, uninterrupted session.
It literally changed the way I thought about the album as an art form. It is really only comparable with Abbey Road, Pet Sounds, Sgt. Pepper and perhaps other Floyd albums.
Wish you were here changed my thinking a lot. I must have listened to Shine ON about 1000 times trying to figure out what it meant to me. I know Roger wrote it about Sid but It was something different for me.

When I was in high school I did auto body work for a guy in town, part of my payment for working there was this 1990 model jeep he had.
He paid me 200 a week and 100 of it went to paying for the jeep.
First day I drove the jeep Crash by Dave Matthews band had been left in the CD player. I loved it, eventually started listening to their other music and bought concert tickets three years later.
I was introduced to the girl that would become wife at that show.
So In a way that album changed my life.

Live Dead completely changed everything I thought about music and sent me deep onto the bus ride

Metallica - Master of Puppets
I'd never heard music at that speed.
This is the one that did it for me...and this was 1986.
Actually, it was "Battery" itself. I was slayed. Totally.
Only other album that hit me that hard was "Undertow" in 1993. A visceral masterpiece that Still holds up.
Honestly, I saw both bands live before I ever heard of them.
Metallica with Ozzy and Tool at Lalapalooza. Went and got the albums the next day...and they both changed my life.

Aquimini Outkast - taught me that Rap could be great
Throwing Copper Live - transitiioned me at a young age off of garth brooks and country
Aeroplane over the Sea - how strange it is to be anything at all
Lonesome Crowded West - Cowboy Dan helped me see the cost of progress and was a song that I still relate with today "Didnt move to the city, the city moved to me, and I want out desperately"
Midnight Organ FIght Frightened Rabbit - this album came out in the height of my sexual explorations and helped me through a many a night sleeping with a stranger.

Kind of Blue. Expanded my interests beyond rock pop and country. Given to me as one of the first gifts from the girl who I eventually married.

I will also say Radiohead-OK Computer
It opened the door for me to more experimental, interesting rock. Blew my 10th grade mind.

Opeth's Blackwater Park really opened my mind and left me in awe. I didn't know their music, but I was in the mood for something new, so I got that album not too long after it came out after reading something about it. It was like nothing I had heard and I quickly got obsessed with the band. The atmosphere that album has when listened to in the right moment and setting is pretty incredible. Same goes for the albums they did prior to that one.
The Flaming Lips' The Soft Bulletin and Yoshimi are albums that came close to actually "changing my life." I was a freshman in college and was going through a rough time. I got those albums on a whim and the lyrics and overall message really spoke to me. Then I became obsessed with the Flaming Lips. It's too bad that I've despised most of their music from the last few years though.
Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness is the album most responsible for my music taste though. Got it in 5th grade. The album has it all - hard rock, metal, glam rock, symphonic rock, electronic, folk, pop, prog...

Ha
I was obsessed with 1979 when I was in about the 5th grade. I had the single on cassette tape, and wore that shite out.
Earlier than that, around the 2nd grade, I was obsessed with Peaches by the Presidents of the USA. I had that single cassette tape as well, and brought it to show and tell to listen to.
I suppose those aren't albums, but those two songs definitely shaped my very young mind as far as what I enjoy in music.
