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!

Circa 1968, The Byrds Greatest Hits was one of my first albums; it helped shape a life-long enjoyment of jangly folk-rock (and later indie pop).

More recently, Beth Orton's Trailer Park and Sugaring Season, along with Molly Burch's First Flower, helped introduce me in retirement to a newer generation of singer-songwriters.

The Celtic Music of Brittany by the Celtic Angels pushed a bit on my understanding of what Celtic music can be (beyond old school Irish styles).
