This post is a joy because it is so packed with great listening ideas. I have several in different eras of my life but most have been listed above. When I was a child, six or seven years old, my parents took me to the movie theater to see Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey. I was so enthralled by the images and music even if it didn't exactly have a narrative aimed at kids. That Christmas, in the early '70's, I received my own copy of the MGM soundtrack. I played it on our Sylvania phonograph hundreds of times; I was allowed to use the stereo from a young age. I've loved stereos and music since.

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.
