RE: Pivotal albums in your musical life?

There were Three pivotal albums for me, all given to me by my uncle (himself a pretty darned good synth programmer and B3 player) during Christmas 1983. They are (in no particular order)-

1. Genesis, Selling England by the Pound. I already was aware of Genesis at the age of 13, having bought Abacab a few months before (based on the hit "No Reply at all"), but when I heard this one at Christmas '83 for the first time, I was amazed. No! BLOWN away by just how good it was!

2. Emerson, Lake and Palmer, Greatest Hits. Hadn't heard of them (short of Lucky Man on the radio). This started my journey down the prog path!

3. Alan Parson's Project, Greatest Hits. sound quality (even for a "digitally mastered" compilation) was pretty good, and it made me yearn for a decent 'table and system. The start of becoming a music lover AND audiophile...
