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!

Major influences for me,

Janis Joplin - Cheap Thrills
Cream - Wheels of Fire
Steve Miller - Nr 5
Dave Brubeck - Time Out
Allman Brothers - Live at the Fillmore East
Jethro Tull - Aqualung
Rolling Stones - Beggers Banquet
Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited
John Lee Hooker - Hooker and Heat
ZZ Top - Tres Hombres

I left out my classical side and only took the top ten of what truly influenced me as I heard 9 out of 10 of these when they were released and very much formed my musical preferences.
