[Jacob]

huh, I just looked through this thread thinking I've probably posted something I wouldn't completely agree with if I read it now... but realized I haven't even posted in here.

albums that have changed me, some more than others:

Faith No More - Angel Dust
Pink Floyd - The Wall
Jane's Addiction - Nothing's Shocking
Tool - Aenema
Led Zeppelin - Remasters
Type O Negative - October Rust
Alice In Chains - Dirt
Deftones - White Pony
Talk Talk - Colour of Spring
Pearl Jam - Ten
Nirvana - Unplugged In New York
Dredg - El Cielo

there are more but I can't come up with anything right now.

[Shaye]

STP- 12 Gracious Melodies (I think this is the 1st CD I ever bought and it's great still)

Sneaker Pimps- Becoming X ( I still love this entire album even after 12 years of listening to it. It was my first encounter with techno/trance/trip hop genre)

311- Music, Grassroots, Self Titled, Transistor ( I love 311. LOVE them. But these 4 albums were my soundtrack for so long. Most girls were freaking out about Backstreet Boys and all I could do was listen to these albums)

Limp Bizkit- Significant Other, Results May Vary ( Regardless of people opinions on LB these two albums def changed me. 'SO' got me through my angst-ridden teen years and 'RMV' got be through a very bad breakup)

Sublime- 40 oz to Freedom, Self titled ( It's Sublime. They're fun and timeless IMO. Enough said)

That's it for now. There are so many other artists/bands that have changed my life but not necessarily entire albums.

Weird and awesome.

[No More Sugar]

I forgot Mer De Noms

[Urantia23]

korn - korn (1994)

[BillyNo.9]

Around the fur for sure. I'd never really listened to anything from Deftones' apart from their music videos on youtube, Around the Fur was their first album I ever bought and I listened to it start to finish for months. I was 13 and feeling all those angsty teenager emotions. At the time I didn't really consider the lyrics, just the music and dynamics of the vocals, still, I'd say this album changed me. I felt like I could actually relate to something even though at that time I hadn't experienced much of what Chino was singing about. The more I listen to it and older I get, the more I can relate to it.

Also Gorillaz debut and Moby - Play.

[Visitant]

AROUND THE FUR.  My fav. album of all time.  Came out at the perfect time for time for me and spoke to me in ways nearly nothing has since.  I bought it the day it came out and had no idea what it even sounded like.  A few kids suggested it to me cause I was a Korn fan at the time, unfortunately.  I was basically told that Deftones sound like Korn but not as good.  I think we all know how that turned out.  From the songs, the sound and tone of every instrument, the production, the vocals/lyrics... even the cover art and song titles.  It's all very ME and if any album could describe me as a person in every way, it'd be Around the Fur.  I love all kinds of music and many albums and artists changed my life but nothing will ever touch Around the Fur to me.  Ever.

Also, 'Louder Than Bombs' by The Smiths.  Close second.

[sing blue silver]

Pink Floyd - The Wall

that album alone changed my entire view of music as a kid.

[Corleone]

Deftones - White Pony
The mars Volta - Deloused
Tool - Aenema
M83 - Saturdays = youth
God is an Astronaut - All is violent all is bright

[theis]

I can't say that any album has ever changed me, but these albums were pivotal in shaping my musical preferences and expanding my horizons.

Tom Waits - Bone Machine
Mastodon - Blood Mountain (this album basically got me into the more extreme side of metal)
Isis - Panopticon
Jeff Buckley - Grace
Dredg - El Cielo (this holds a special place in my heart. I will never forget the first time i heard it. I'd never heard anything like it before and it simply blew my mind)
