My Bloody Valentine Loveless
For me, my life so far is in 2 parts: before Loveless, and after. That's how important it was. I was 16 and I must have listened to it daily for a full year. I just couldn't believe what I was hearing: this extraordinary, beautiful, mindblowing sound. I knew then that music was going to have a profound effect on me for the rest of my life, but it also woke me up to the fact that art can provide this whole new dimension to your existence. Up until then it was just football, school, girls...the usual teenage preoccupations, then Loveless came along and changed everything.

The first Crowded House album. I'd been a music nut since my teens but that album was the one that finally made me realise that I wanted to be a songwriter myself.

the first record to actually make me get more deeply involved with music was yank crime by drive like jehu, released in 1994, and which today i still ranks as the finest punk rock hardcore rock record ever made. it made things like beefheart make sense to me, the guitar playing is extraordinary, yet never overblown and histrionic, just vicseral and thunderous.
it's a hard listen at first, but check out some tunes on itunes or whatever. incredible work of art.

Pearl Jam's Ten.
Altered the path of my teenage years quite drastically, stopped me listening to Scooter for one thing and turned me on to rock concerts and other noteworthy bands. Found a whole new world after listening to it. Completely changed my social life to this day in terms of friends etc.
Which is why I can't wait for next Wednesday :)

I feel exactly the same way about it. It just took my whole enjoyment of music to another dimension. |

Well it would have to be the first album that made me want to make music - which was The Bends by Radiohead

Yeah, was there also...it was great seeing TF and The Breeders, such great support bands in their own right, I thought Nirvana were slightly disappointing though!!!!!Kurt seemed to be miles away, only Krist and Dave Grohl spoke to the crowd. Little did we know...... |

Holy Bible would not be my first choice, I only got into the Manics during the Everything Must Go time but once I heard The Holy Bible and read the lyrics coz it is fairly hard to comprehend what the hell James is saying, it just opened up another world in terms of human suffering, tragedy and other things that left me feeling not so sweetly towards the human race.
