Machine Head - Deep Purple got it the day of release 1972 & it changed my whole musical outlook in the first play

"Hats" - The Blue Nile's second album released in 1989.  The first album that made me realise there was more to music than guitars.  Its beautifully crafted songs, a combination of the emotive vocals of Paul Buchanan and the inventive and the atmospheric soundscapes of Paul Joseph Moore combined with multi instrumentalist Robert Bell produced an album that even more than 25 years later, remains my favourite album off all time.

It is indeed a stunning record.... And probably my favourite of all time too.

The God Machine's Scenes From The Second Storey. It was the turning point where I started to like angry music.

Fantastic album

Very early on I came across a cassette with two unidentified albums on it; one GREAT and one awful. It turned out that the great one was Bat Out Of Hell and the awful one was "Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band".

BOOH made me a rocker, and once Appetite for Destruction came out the deal was sealed.

BEANO album ....John Mayall & EC, ...my mate at school got a copy the week it came out .....LP & 50w Marshall became my goal!

Good question.

My Bloody Valentine, Loveless.

Not directly due to the music but it certainly opened my awareness for what music can be, and for its approach to sound in general.

Even now, I still like music to be a soundscape for living.

INXS's Kick. Virtually all killer tracks.

Totally changed my feel for rhythm

Hutchence was a God in his prime

One of the best rhythm sections ever and for my money the best and tightest band at playing as one unit. That phrase 'locked in' totally applies to INXS but they kept the feel and genuinely could swing.

Genuinely? Appetite for Destruction. 

Still my favourite to this day.

Too right. Really hangs together; it's a complete work, not just a bunch of songs.

Dredg's El Cielo and *shels Plains of the Purple Buffalo pull off the same trick but Scenes From The Second Storey is just epic.

Given you a wisdom for that Thomas. As long as I've known you on the forums you've always stuck to your guns with Slash and G 'N' R. That's very cool.
