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
