Name a few albums which helped determine your musical tastes


How about a short list of albums that shaped your listening from early on in your life?

Not just albums that became favorites (though they could be now). Let's call them historical turning points for you that shaped you as a listener, now.

Me:
  • Quadrophenia or Who's Next
  • Sgt Peppers Beatles
  • Floyd, Wish you were here
  • Jethro Tull, Thick as a Brick
  • Metheny, Offramp
  • Glenn Gould, Goldberg variations
  • Joni Mitchell, Court and Spark
GO!

You all are stocking my next playlist "Audiogon Pantheon"

+1 Hendrix, Axis Bold as Love
Bowie, Ziggy Stardust
Lou Reed, Transformer.

Solti's Mahler cycle with the Chicago symphony.

I think I nearly memorized those LPs.
As I look back at my list, I can’t believe I left off Bob Dylan, Simon and Garfunkel, Jackson Browne, David Bowie, Lou Reed, Moody Blues, Van Morrison, CSNY...it never ends! I still feel like I’m forgetting someone.
