I don't know. I guess Metallica-Metallica, as the first metal album I ever heard, which pretty much set off my interest in music for the rest of my life.
I don't know about that. Heavy Metal certainly changed my life, first metal album I heard was Are You Dead Yet - Children Of Bodom. And Painkiller - Judas Priest REALLY got me into metal, after hearing that I fully embraced the culture and everything that goes with being a die hard metalhead.SantoUno said:
edit: I love how many metalheads I see posts from.
Sort of proves my point, music is our life.Music really can change your life. I was all into clasic rock for the most part and then when i started getting into more metal music i started changing my style of clothes and going to shows and made freinds. I think that would constitute changing my life.Woodsey said:
A Hangover You Don't Deserve by Bowling for Soup. See, this was a time when I was younger and listening to horrible rap music on the radio trying to convince myself that I liked it so I could be cool like the other kids. I didn't know how to be an individual. I thought that since everyone else liked it that I should too. Then I heard a friend talk about this song called 1985 so I looked it up and I really enjoyed it. I then bought the album that it was on called A Hangover You Don't Deserve. It was offensive, funny, and had a lot of power in the riffs. It was sort of like a gateway band. After I really started getting into alternative, I got into hard rock like Guns N' Roses. After hard rock, I got into metal like Strapping Young Lad and Dethklok. I am so thankful that I bought that album when I did because it shaped who I am today. I still go back and listen to those songs to this day and I bought the album back in 2004. I'm serious when I say I needed that album.
You know, if I hadn't have bought that album I would be a no good white trash clone of everyone else. So I'll have to respectfully disagree with you.SantoUno said:
Probably Warning by Green Day five or six years back
I loved that album, and i still do, along with at least 100 more albums

Did you ever listen to it in it's original state? The Albini mixes exist on the internet, I believe they were told they had to change it or it wouldn't be released.SonicKoala said:
Personally. In Stereo, by the Flat Duo Jets is my absolute favourite. They play so viciously, and with great confidence. Which I try to emulate in my own music...badly.
Here is a Buddy Holly cover from the album.
Both 'The Wall' and 'Dark side of the Moon' by Pink Floyd (although more the former). I wouldn't say changed my life but the way I viewed music.
American Idiot. I bought it to listen to on a bus journey about five years ago, blew my mind. It wasn't the first album I ever bought or listened to but it for me a new standard for how good an album could be. I think it was the first time I ever really felt involved personally with a piece of music rather than it just being an agreeable noise.
Me being one of those freaks who doesn't listen to music at all, I can't say that a specific album has changed my life.
I can, however, identify certain albums that conjure strong memories of life-changing events from two parts of my life:
1) Aquarium by Aqua. This album epitomizes my views on music, and set the tune of my life in general. When this came out, everyone I knew became instantly obsessed, and I felt like the only person who hated it. Having to put up with endless repetitions of "Barbie Girl" made my formative years suck something fierce.
2) In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3 by Coheed and Cambria, and Billy Talent's self-titled album. These were pretty much the soundtrack to my summer in 2004, and while I only kinda enjoyed the Billy Talent and hated the C&C, they still remind me of that time, where I first started to turn my life around.
