Music That Blew Your Mind

[General Ken8]

Ok, the idea of this thread is to name a few albums that just blew your mind the first time you listened to them, or better yet an album that continues to blow your mind every time you listen to it.

Spoiler: These are my examples

Sum 41 - Does This Look Infected?
Green Day - Dookie
System of a Down - Toxicity
Billy Talent - Billy Talent II
Anti-Flag - A New Kind of Army

there's probably more, but I can't think of them right now

 

[MultiColouredWonder]

Pray for you - Jaron and the long road to love

It's all about finding a big loophole in religion. Why didn't I think of that?!?!

Well I recently discovered Within Temptation, and this was the first of their songs to really make me love the band. I still really love this song.

Spoiler: Hand of Sorrow

But in terms of mind-blowing music, I think Apocalyptica wins here. You know why? The music sounds like hardcore guitar, but it's not: they're cellos. Four cellos and a drummer. Seriously, look it up.

 

[DragonChi]

Gotan Project

 

[Orwellian37]

Pink Floyd - Wish you were here
Pink Floyd - Atom Heart Mother

Just Pink Floyd in general blows my mind. I personally like The Wall best.

 

[KnowYourOnion]

Red Hot Chili Peppers- By the Way and Californication
Franz Ferdinand- You Could Have Had It So Much Better
Tunng- Good Arrows
The Shins- Oh, Inverted World or Chutes Too Narrow (if you haven't heard the Shins GO LISTEN NOW http://www.youtube.com/watch#!v=GVutw8DLuD4&feature=related)
All That Remains- The Fall of Ideals

 

[HaraDaya]

Only song that still "blows my mind" after 2 years. It gets me pumped every time.

 

[Guido656]

2 track EP by 'Godspeed You Black Emperor'

1. Moya
2. BBF3

My musical mind was never the same.

Spoiler

Aesop Rock - Labor Days
B Dolan - Fallen House Sunken City
Bike for Three - More Hearts Than Brains
Cubbiebear - The Rape
Dessa - A Badly Broken Code
Elliot Smith - XO
El-P - I'll Sleep When You're Dead
Prolyphic and Reanimator - The Ugly Truth
Sage Francis - A Healthy Distrust
Sole - Exhile EP (It's an EP yet it's my favourite thing he's ever made)
Sole & the Skyrider Band - Sole & the Skyrider Band (self titled)
The Mars Volta - De-Loused in The Comatorium
Venetian Snares - Rossz Csillag Alatt Született

There's more, but my God, it's hard to beat these albums for me. Labor Days, I'll Sleep When You're Dead and A Healthy Distrust are three of the most perfect albums from start to finish I've ever listened to. I wish I had Last.fm 6 years ago because these three albums alone would be raping the top of my charts.
