Your three favourite music albums please

[byke95]

Afternoon,

Simply really, I'm after some music I haven't heard before, and wondered what three albums shaped others' lives:

1) What album shaped your life as a youth?
2) What album (or artist) do you keep on going back to (i.e. you own most of his/her/their discography)?
3) What's the new album you've bought (I use the word loosely) that stops you believing music was better in my day?

I guess implicit in the above is that you need to to be old enough / have been around a while to answer all three properly. As a side 'rule', I just want your music, not your life story as to why you love the album, so just the artist name and album title please

Hmm, possibly not qualified to answer this as I'm only 25, but I have always listened to music from the 70's and 80's so I'll have a stab. Obviously though, not living through it I only know the major stuff really.

1) Queen Greatest Hits (1 & 2) in my early youth, mid to late teens was Led Zep 4.

2) Change every few months, probably Dire Straits.

3) Imelda May, Love Tattoo. She's just released a new album but it's not as good as the first.

[pa_broon74]

In no particular order...

Jean Michel Jarre - Concerts in China or Zoolookologie

Queen - Greatest Hits

And probably Pet Shop boys - Introspective

Later in life; Kick up the fires and let the flames break loose from Cooper Temple Clause because it is an utterly miserable and very angry album.

I love it.

[oldpink]

1) Pink Floyd - Dark Side of The Moon
2) Pink Floyd ( I have every album, inc solo's by band members and over 500 bootleg albums)
3) not an album but A video of a concert by Noel Gallagher doing an Acoustic set

Dark side didn't shape my life but it did change the music style I was listening to
as I was more into heavy metal, DSOTM showed me it didn't have to be busting my eardrums to be good

Music isn't any better or worse these days "when I were a Kid" there were lots of crap bands about
still the same today but now I have the Ability to listen to music I'd never have listened to or purchased
due to the Internet (youtube in particular) so I think there's a lot more choice these days

and more lesser known artists can reach the general public that would otherwise be overlooked by radio stations
that only play chart music or what you can buy from the record shops

A lot of classics in there - Prodigy...Supergrass...Killers and Hot Fuzz (real shame as I dislike everything of theirs since Hot Fuzz)

Also loads I've heard of but never pursued for some reason, and even some I'd never even heard of (none of Ed Case's three, something I didn't think would be possible!). Great stuff though - keep um coming!

Queen seems up there as a common variable (somehow I own none of their music)...best make my way over to Youtube to listen to some as well as some Pink Floyd...might check out Elecrtic house Orchestra while I'm there too!

Chosing 3 albums that shaped my life....hmmm.....

Pink Floyd - The Wall. I was introduced to this album at the tender age of 13 and it struck a chord with me. Its not the best Floyd album there is but its my favourite. (even though my favourite Floyd song is Wish you were here)

Wasp - Live in the raw. As the opening intro announcement says "the final night of their 1986/87 world tour. I was 12 years old and it was the first heavy album I listened to. A friend had it and I took a copy on cassette. As a result of that cassette I became a metal head though out my teenage years and although the music sounds outdated now Wasp were one of the most underated rock bands in the 80's.

Metallica - Ride the lightening. Probably my introduction to proper metal after going through the usual suspects. Wasp, Thunder, Maiden. A friend and I were out one day and she put ride the lightning on my ghetto blaster and I couldnt get enough. I could have went with master of puppets but I heard ride 45 minutes before I heard master.

2) What album (or artist) do you keep on going back to (i.e. you own most of his/her/their discography)?
The Empyrean, by John Frusciante (the japanese version though with the bonus tracks Today and Ah Yom). Its incredible.
