Taking it as only ALBUMS...
The Who My Generation. Summed up my teenage feelings and Im loved the NOISE of their early records. Revolt into style.
Grateful Dead Anthem Of The Sun. I realised that music could be so much more than I had thought. I'm pretty certain it's not their finest moment, but its effect was profound back then.
Curtis Mayfield There's No Place Like America Today. By the 70s I was over "ROCK", too sludgy, to conservative. Here was a way out without just heading back to old soul and country.
Sex Pistols Never Mind The Bollocks. Between the music and the actual personal connections, it in quite a real sense showed the way forward.
Kraftwerk Trans Europe Express. A completely European record and the other side of the Neu heritage to the Sex Pistols.
Global Communication 76:14. Where I found my crossover between contemporary classical and dub dance and I stopped listening to genres.
Paul Schutze Apart. 2 CDs, one like an updated early 70s Miles Davis and the other a perfect ambient late night in the dark with 4 tracks, 3 of which are called Sleep.
I seem to have lost track of why I picked them. So it goes.
