Influential albums over time.

[Squidlorock]

I was going to make this thread as 'i've made 200 posts!' Unfortunately i forgot, and couldn't help posting! So this is 201! Right... What is/are peoples most influential albums from past or present? Feel free to add albums/posts as they come to mind (a get out clause for me, seeing as my memory is rather vague! )

I'll start off with a couple. Pearl Jam, back in the day grabbed hold of me and threw me around. I remember seeing MTV unplugged (that wasn't released back then) on VHS in my local record shop after i forced them to put it on&made them do me a ropey copy that i have to this day! Let's hope it isn't me just posting lol



I will add more, so many to think about. But what are YOUR influential albums/sounds from now or then?

Ok, Tool aenima really blew me away: (could also mention Undertow/Laterlus/10,000 days etc...)



Levellers, Levelling the land takes me back a bit




Roni Size reminds me of years ago

 

[Feronix]

Linkin Park - Meteora/ Minutes to Midnight/ Hybrid Theory

Linkin park is the band that got me into 'heavy' music (I was like 11 at the time) and I still feel nostalgic listening to those albums to this day.

 

[Terrifictez85]

So many albums to choose from.
Have to go with:-
Radiohead - The Bends
The Smashing Pumpkins - Machina (The machines of God)
Nirvana - Nevermind
Biffy Clyro - Infinity Land
Feeder - Comfort In Sound
