RE: Pivotal albums in your musical life?

If I spend more more time thinking, the list may change and it is hard to limit it to four. At the moment I would list (in no particular order):

Richie Havens, Mixed Bag - Representative of my early interest in acoustic folk/singer-songwriter music.

Jimi Hendrix, Band of Gypsies - No one else played guitar like that.

Black Sabbath, Black Sabbath - While I never gravitated to the genre in a significant way, I considered them the masters of heavy metal.

The Doors, Weird Scenes... - A best of LP, but a good sample of what they were about. As a youngster, I always felt older somehow listening to the Doors.

Return to Forever, Where Have I Known You Before / Herbie Hancock, Thrust - Freshman year in college (or thereabouts). Was my first real introduction to jazz on any significant level.

Special Mention: Gorecki's 3rd Symphony: Symphony of Sorrowful Songs - While I knew it at some level already, I discovered how powerful music (not necessarily with lyrics) alone can affect a person.
