25 Albums That Changed Your Life[views:14376][posts:88]__________________________________________________ [Mar 13,2009 12:23am - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] Totally fucking ripped from Facebook. RESPOND OR YOU'RE A PUSSY. Think of 25 albums that had such a profound effect on you they changed your life or the way you looked at it. They sucked you in and took you over for days, weeks, months, years. These are the albums that you can use to identify time, places, people, emotions. These are the albums that no matter what they were thought of musically shaped your world. When you finish, tag 25 others, including me. Make sure you copy and paste this part so they know the drill. In no particular order, and possibly multiple albums per artist (because sometimes its more the artist than a specific album...). 1. Glassjaw - Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Silence 2.

| ________________________________ [Mar 13,2009 1:24am - Ryan_M ""] I could never pick 25 albums that changed my life. I can actually only think of two: Probably the biggest one that actually changed me would be Metallica's Black album. Like for most other people into metal, this album was the one that got me into this music and as a teenager, this music helped me to stop trying to be like all the cool kids and find my own path in life, and it continues to inspire and influence me today. The second is not a music album but a comedy album: George Carlin's Jammin' in New York. And it wasn't the CD I heard, but the video. But anyway, ever since first watching that tape, I was hooked on this guy's routines and his work has always inspired me to think for myself, be wary of authority figures, or anyone trying to sell something, and to never take life too seriously. |
| ________________________________________ [Mar 13,2009 2:16am - DestroyYouAlot ""] Fuck. Not exactly in order chronologically (also I cheated): 1 Iron Maiden - Seventh Son of a Seventh Son (Second tape I ever owned, after Michael Jackson's Bad.

| _________________________________________ [Mar 13,2009 5:39am - BobNOMAAMRooney ""] The first two were huge when I was in 8th grade, melted my brain on what was possible with music. The rest are a stream of consciousness 1. Boredoms-Pop Tatari 2. Bad Brains-s/t 3. Black Flag-Damaged 4. Bathory- (Let's just say everything so I have more slots on this list) 5. Guitar Wolf-Jet Generation 6. Emperor-In the Nightside Eclipse 7. Boredoms-Super ae 8.Kraftwerk-(Same as Bathory, everything) 9. Converge-When Forever Comes Crashing 10. Nokturnal Mortum-NeChrist 11. Wu-Tang Clan-Wu-Tang Forever 12. Gang Starr-Step in the Arena 13. Isis-Celestial 14. Darkthrone-Transilvanian Hunger 15. Sepultura-Schizophrenia 16. Beherit-Drawing Down the Moon 17.

Rebaelliun-Annihilation 24. Dissection-The Somberlain 25. The Crown-Deathrace King These don't necessarily have to be positive right? Because when I was first becoming aware of music (like middle school age) there was an album or two I bought because some dipshit friend told me how great some shitty band was and me not liking their faggy favorite band ruined that friendship. 25.5 would be Bush-Razorblade Suitcase, an album I HAD TO HAVE, OMG MOM as a Christmas gift in 7th grade because my friend Brian wouldn't shut up about how fucking great it was. About a week after coming back from Christmas break I was over the kid's house playing Cool Boarders when he went to put the cd on; I called Bush a "bunch of British fags", he got all mad, called me a fag for not liking a bunch of dudes who sang about swallowing loads and I punched him in the face. |

State of the World was the first one I had though. I had a friend of mine make me a cassette copy in 8th grade because my mom wouldn't let me buy it.

| _____________________________________ [Mar 13,2009 12:27pm - arilliusbm ""] question is literally impossible to answer due to so many albums and emotions captured, but here are some in no particular order: 1.) King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King (one of the greatest releases in musical history) 2.) Menhir - Thuringia (I love the atmosphere/guitar leads on this album. inspired me to no end) 3.) Alice in Chains - Dirt (overplayed, yet underplayed) 4.) Dissection - The Somberlain (huge impact on my song writing) 5.) Cannibal Corpse - Butchered at Birth (gritty brutal death that makes me want to kill) 6.) Ulver - Bergtatt (I routinely spin this everytime summer starts, not sure why) 7.) Miles Davis - Kind of Blue (one of the best cool jazz albums ever) 8.) Neil Young (w/crazy horse) - Zuma (cortez the killer for the win) 9.) Slayer - Reign in Blood (Raining Blood is my cellphone ring for a reason) 10.)Alcest - Le Secret (excellent atmosphere and emotion captured) 11.)Bathory - Under the Sign of the Black Mark (powerful record) 12.)Metallica - Master of Puppets (major musical inspiration) 13.)Nirvana - Nevermind (so overplayed back then, but now when I listen I flashback to 1991 and playing baseball and shit) 14.)Acid Bath - When the Kite String Pops (had a huge impact on me for quite sometime) 15.)SOD - Speak English or Die (such a classic.. also routinely/superstitiously listened to this before my high school basketball games to pump me up) 16.)Amon Amarth - Once Sent from the Golden Hall (I kind of wish AA still sounded like this..) 17.)Emperor - Anthems (wall of sound which infinitely inspired me on keys and guitar) 18.) Drudkh - Autumn Aurora (captures autumn on a record) 19.) In Flames - Subterranean (best IF in my opinion) 20.) Dark Angel - Darkness Descends (this is what thrash SHOULD be) 21.) Sodom - Persecution Mania ('nuff said) 22.) Hypocrisy - s/t (I like all eras of this band but this non-DM album stood out to me for some reason) 23.) Opeth - Orchid/MorningRise (along with old Ulver, major influence on my acoustic playing) 24.) Depeche Mode - Violator (enjoy the fucking silence) 25.) Mouse on Mars - Idiology (very unique) This list could go on for ages but I'll cut it short. I didn't even get that deep into the metal albums, electronic, video game soundtracks, movie soundtracks, classic rock, old country, etc. Honestly, this question is retarded. I've got at least 1000 albums that had an impact on me in one way or another. |

Sepultura - Beneath The Remains Ok well there's 15 and that's all I can think of right now that was absolutely life changing for me and pivotal as far as my musical likes and adventures go. Each album came to me at a time when I either jsut learning about metal, or needed a fresh change in direction of what's out there in metal. An example of how some of these albums changed my life would be for ex. Sepultura Beaneath The Remains. That album came out in 1989 and it was so good, like a more raw Slayer with that edge of brutality. When I saw Max playing that white B.C. Rich Warlock guitar in the video for Inner Self and holding it in promo pics, it influenced me to pick up that guitar as my first ever guitar I bought, that and it just plain looked cool as fuck. Or the first time I heard Sodom. I popped in the Expurse tape and was blown away by it because it was faster and more evil than Slayer. When I got into Darkthrone on the A Blaze album... I never heard anythign like it and that's what got me more into Norwegian stuff. I'm sure there's more though, this is a good, fun thread! |
