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!

The bread of those early years:
Phil Ochs—pleasures of the harbor
John Fahey—days have gone by
John Mayall—the turning point
Leonard Cohen—songs from a room
Golden Ring—a gathering of friends for making music
The Band—music from big pink
Bob Dylan—John Wesley Harding
Cannonball Adderley—mercy, mercy, mercy
Roland Kirk—we free kings.
George Harrison—all things must pass
