Squeeze, 6 outta Squeeze. Got me into music at the tender age of seven. I remember jumping around the lounge of my house playing air guitar on a tennis bat with this on full blast.

Madness, Madness. Where I started to develop my own identity.

Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac, (as before). The album that made me pester my folks for an electric guitar. (same as no1, stolen from my dads record collection)

Anthrax, Among the living. Opened my mind to alternative music styles.

Sex Pistols, Nevermind the... Obviously

The Ramones, Subterrainian Jungle. Anyone that cant hear the beauty of 'the time has come' in relation to 'everytime I eat vegetables' needs to look at why they listen to music. Their obviously missing the fun aspect out of it. I could have picked Ramones, Leave home, or rocket from russia. Sub Ter' was their crowning glory to my tastes though.

Fun Lovin Criminals, 100% columbian. Rap and jazz with cool as %^& guitars.

7 out of me aint bad, I don't like much.

I Can't Explain

Oooohh Kay

1.Fleet Foxes' self titled debut.
It got me into more folky kind of layed back music and broadened my horizons somewhat.
2.Marmaduke Duke-Duke pandemonium
Its the only fainly electro album i would ever listen to and theres just so much going on on it from funk to hard rock with totally awesome choruses that its just awe inspiring
3.Kings of leon's first three albums (couldn't pick one of the three).
Just because they're so diverse and I've spent hours listening to them and their B sides and everything over the past year or so and they're 3 of my favourite albums.I'd definately recomend youth and young manhood (the first one) its pure southern rock, think lynard skynard meets AC/DC. I love how all of their albums is completely different.
4.Manic street preachers-Send away the tigers.
Most under-rated album of all time, definitely one of my favourites and its one I listen to to cheer myself up
5.Vampire Weekend-Vampire Weekend
Such a feel good album, you can't listen to it and not have a big grin on your face.
6.The Beatles-White album.
Loads of the tracks on it are so obscure on it that from when i heard at an early age my brain just started making connections it never made before and I thinking on a much weird level.I think it played a big part in me being the person I am today.
7.Tommy Reilly-Words on the floor.
I love how all the songs on it are written from the perspective of someone so commercially uncool, he's making lots of money despite being a nerd and it kind of gives me hope for my nerdy tendencies.
8.Pink Floyd-Dark side of the moon.
Its probably the album I've heard the most in my 14 odd years on this planet so its in the list for that reason alone, definitely influenced me a lot.
9.Biffy Clyro-Puzzles and only revolutions
These are the albums that really give me hope for modern music, if people are doing anything this awesome and its fairly popular there must be hope for mankind.
10.The Who-Tommy
The first album I ever listened to from start to finish, it made me realise rock and roll can be about story telling.And its true what William's sister says in almost famous, "If you listen to tommy with a candle burning, you will see your entire future."

Rated "M" for meaty.

Paranoid - Black Sabbath
Song remains the same - Led Zep
Putting it straight - Pat Travers
Roundabout - Yes
Dark side of the moon - Floyd
Texas Flood - SRV
Burn - Deep Purple
Eagles - The Eagles
The best of Alan Parsons project - Alan Parsons
Next - Sensational Alex Harvey Band

just a few, no particular order

As much as I love music, I can't think of one, let alone ten albums which, "changed my life". To my way of thinking, I can't even fathom how a handful of tunes especially by one band could do such a thing. Obviously, others' mileage does indeed vary.

You dig?

The Rolling Stones-Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out!
Best live album by any band ever.

ZZ Top-Rhythmeen
Possibly the best album of the 90s--sadly overlooked and ignored. On par with their 70s "hey-day" albums

The Fabulous Thunderbirds-Roll Of The Dice
On-par with any of their early pre-Tuff Enuff releases--great fretwork by Kid Ramos, too

Storyville-Piece of Your Soul
One stupendous singer, two great guitarists, and Double Trouble--what more could you want?

Arc Angels-Arc Angels
What more could you want? Two stupendous singers, two great guitarists and Double Trouble...That's what!!

ZZ Top-Rio Grande Mud
Often overshadowed by "First Album" and "Tres Hombres", this album sounds like a soundtrack to my early 20s (even though the album was twenty years old by then!)

Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble-Texas Flood
Name one bad song on the disc--I dare you! Plus, how many threads on this forum are asking how to get the tone found on this album (over 25 years later)?

Joe Ely-Live at Liberty Lunch
Great songwriting, guitar by David Grissom, and a fantabulous rhythm section

Waylon Jennings-Honky Tonk Heroes
A full album of Billy Joe Shaver songs interpreted by the original Outlaw himself

Muddy Waters-Hard Again
The album that turned me from a guy interested in blues into a blues fanatic.
