Excellent thread topic. Here are a few of mine:
Meet the Beatles: My older sister had this record, and she occasionally let me play it on the BSR turntable in my dad's console. I was 7. The fire was lit.
Crosby, Stills and Nash: This was the first album I bought with my own money, earned mowing lawns when I was 12. I was enthralled by the frank adultness of the lyrics, as opposed to the bubblegum pop I was used to hearing. And the harmonies were intoxicating.
Yes: Fragile: At 15, I was growing disenchanted with corporate FM radio fare. Roundabout helped me to realize that I could find plenty of music to love if I took control of my listening instead of deferring to djs. Also, Bill Bruford's snare drum remains my single favorite musical sound ever.
Pat Metheny: American Garage: The twin scourges of punk and disco left me feeling disenfranchized by the music industry in the late 70s. Metheny showed me that the musical values I cared about were alive and well in the jazz aisle.
Happy listening,
Jim
