Name a few albums which helped determine your musical tastes

How about a short list of albums that shaped your listening from early on in your life?

Not just albums that became favorites (though they could be now). Let's call them historical turning points for you that shaped you as a listener, now.

Me:
  • Quadrophenia or Who's Next
  • Sgt Peppers Beatles
  • Floyd, Wish you were here
  • Jethro Tull, Thick as a Brick
  • Metheny, Offramp
  • Glenn Gould, Goldberg variations
  • Joni Mitchell, Court and Spark
GO!

Cannot help but to comment on Lyle and his large band:  in the summer of (about) 2004 in Madison, WI, Aretha cancelled with short notice as the headliner in the summer MusicFest on the lake.  I had two tickets, and decided to go even though I could not see the Queen.  Lyle and large band subbed.
Holy crap.  Their comprehensively massive soundstage was mind-blowing.  The power, balance, articulation, and precision of every musician was flawless.  Barely noticed Lyle singing, leaning up against things in his body cast after breaking his hip in a bull ring(?).
His audio engineers have to be the best around.
