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.
Yes, Fragile Genesis, Foxtrot King Crimson, Court of the Crimson King Miles Davis, Kind Of Blue Dave Brubeck, Time Out The Allman Brothers, Live At the Filmore The Doors, First album Led Zeppelin, II Blood, Sweat and Tears, First album Pink Floyd, Dark Side of the Moon, Aaron Copeland, Appalachian Spring Dmitry Shostakovich, Symphony No. 5 and all the countless stuff my dad exposed me to. He listened to everything (except Country).
This post is a joy because it is so packed with great listening ideas. I have several in different eras of my life but most have been listed above. When I was a child, six or seven years old, my parents took me to the movie theater to see Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey. I was so enthralled by the images and music even if it didn't exactly have a narrative aimed at kids. That Christmas, in the early '70's, I received my own copy of the MGM soundtrack. I played it on our Sylvania phonograph hundreds of times; I was allowed to use the stereo from a young age. I've loved stereos and music since.
