Name a few albums which helped determine your musical tastes


How about a short list of albums that shaped your listening from early on in your life?

Not just albums that became favorites (though they could be now). Let's call them historical turning points for you that shaped you as a listener, now.

Me:
  • Quadrophenia or Who's Next
  • Sgt Peppers Beatles
  • Floyd, Wish you were here
  • Jethro Tull, Thick as a Brick
  • Metheny, Offramp
  • Glenn Gould, Goldberg variations
  • Joni Mitchell, Court and Spark
GO!

Thanks Mapman, you're damn right about “Machine Head” by Deep Purple followed by “Demons and Wizards” by Uriah Heep. How could we forget?And one more, Black Sabbath's first. My Catholic neighbor bought it and was so afraid his parents would find out we waited a week before we could listen to his on his dad's high end system. Blew our minds...He's since become a musician, and has worked with Jon Anderson (YES).
