What album changed your life?
I saw an article in the newspaper and I thought it would be a good topic for discussion. For me, I would say it was Nirvana. It wasn't the first album I owned, but it was the first one that really inspired me to create my own music, and then later decide that was what I wanted to do with my life. I don't know if that's what I'll end up doing with my life, but I have no backup plan, so one hopes. Anyway, what about you allz?

The album that really got me into music was The Very Best of Simon and Garfunkel.
The album that made me plug in an electric guitar was Odyssey Number Five by Powderfinger.
But the album that really had the biggest impact on me, and made me the frothing mad strange-music lunatic that I am today, was Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon.

"Crime Of The Century", Supertramp.
First time I noticed stuff like sublety, hidden meanings, harmony and recording techniques.

there have been a few...
Green Day-Dookie, was the album that got me into music in the first place.
Bright Eyes-Digital Ash in a Digital Urn, was the album that got me really listening to music (much like Schmange was saying about Supertramp)
And
Cat Stevens- Tea For the Tillerman, was the album that got me feeling music.

There've been a few that changed the way I play, though only one changed my life, because it made me determined to pick up the guitar in the first place: Still Got The Blues, by Gary Moore.

Michael, you owe me big for introducing you to Nirvana.
Although I must say, it was probably the same for me, Nirvana by Nirvana. I bought it when it came out because "You Know You're Right" was constantly playing on the damn radio and I liked it. That was about when I said to myself "Sweet Jesus, I must be a part of this so-called 'music.' "
Another crucial one is Zeppelin II. When I was in grade 7 (I think), my gym teacher lent me Zeppelin II and The Grand Bazaar by the Tea Party for the weekend, saying I'd like them a lot. I listened to Zeppelin II first, and ended up with it on loop all weekend. I never did listen to that Tea Party one. I think that was the point when I realized there was more to music than Nirvana.
I'm gonna throw a couple others out there, 'the White Album' and Dirty, just because those were the ones that got me into the Beatles and Sonic Youth, respectively, and now they are quite possibly my two favourite bands.

+1 for Rage Against the Machine; Rage were the first rock band that I was absolutely crazy about.

Bob Dylan's Blood on the Tracks' - it was the first album I had heard where I was blown away by the lyrical content. Each song tells an almost perfect story.
Stevie Ray Vaughn 'Couldn't stand the weather' made me want to learn the guitar.
The Doors 'The Soft Parade' was, to me, the perfect album to sit and listen to after, *ahem*, partying a bit. As soon as I hear the first strains of 'Follow me down', I can actually smell the patchouli oil.... :D

Californication...my first cd. Asked for it in grade 6 cause my friend had it. One of those cd's were every lyric, melody and riff are melted into my brain. It's diversity really appealed to me. The funk of 'around the world', the mellow to raging heaviness of 'parallel universe' and 'this velvet glove', the eerines of 'savior' all the way to the acoustic tune 'road trippin'. The ultra-original lyrics appealed greatly to me too. Mind you, there are filler tracks ('I like dirt') but...you know.
Toxicity was also huge for me.

The first album I bought with my own money was "If You Can Believe Your Eyes And Ears" by The Mamas And The Papas. I've always been a major fan of tight vocal harmonies, and John Phillips was a Master. But that album didn't change my life at all - it just fed musical tastes that were already in place. The Beatles, most of the rest of the 'British Invasion', Motown, Simon & Garfunkle, Cat Stevens, all continued that trend. Led Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix sounded bizarre to me at first, but they were soon absorbed into the musical landscape.
The one that ripped out all of the wires, and turned me into a raging Rocker was the self-titled >Grand Funk< album. This power trio changed the way a lot of people listened to live bands, and they certainly changed the way I played music. In fact, my last pro band was named Railroad, picking up the word discarded by our heroes when they shortened down their band's name from Grand Funk Railroad.
I just bought another guitar like the one I was playing back then. I was reminded of GFR when I was trying it out. Instinctively, I started playing the riff from "Inside Looking Out". Our cover of that tune was our signature song.
