The Albums that changed my life are....








These albums had a huge impact on me, what are some albums that had a impact on you?
I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me.

Opera Ghost

"In each of us, two natures are at war--the good and the evil. All our lives the fight goes on between them, and one of them must conquer..."

BlackLagoon

Iron Maiden's Number Of The Beast....everything else followed.
"I send my murdergram to all the monster kids, it comes right back to me, signed in their parents blood"

Queen's second album,  QUEEN II.  Queen II is perhaps the most overlooked album in the Queen catalogue, & it's a shame, for it is their masterpiece. I have eclectic tastes in music, & after 30 years, Queen II has never lost it's magic. If you've never heard Queen II, if you're only familiar with their hits & signature albums, then you haven't heard Queen.

According to Queenonline.com, Queen II is guitarist Brian May's favorite Queen album.

I concur...pretty much ALL Queen has retained it's magic for me.

Also, I'd have to say all of Hank Williams changed my life, as thanks to Mom's playing them incessantly, I can't stand country, save your basic Shania or Faith.

Monster Bob


Well, there are several...


DRACULA'S GREATEST HITS, THE MUNSTERS (America's Newest Singing Group), and various Henry Mancini and Dean Martin albums were the favorites as a little kid.


The soundtrack to AMERICAN GRAFITTI was huge for me in pre-teen years. Also a K-tel record called GREATEST JUKEBOX HITS of the 50s, or something like that.

Robert Gordon's ROCK BILLY BOOGIE (1979) did me permanent major brain damage when it was first released that lingers with me to this day.

I've a feeling it was not the LP, but perhaps some sort of a accessory that might be the catalyst

I hear you Black Lagoon...

Iron Maiden The Number of the Beast

The first time I heard Hallowed Be Thy Name, that something clicked inside me...


RUN DMC Raising Hell

I killed this in Junior High, especially Raising Hell. "I cut the head off the devil and I throw it at you" What metalhead wouldn't love that line? From there my love of real Hip Hop took off.
"For one who has lived but a single lifetime, you are a wise man ...Van Helsing."
"I shall awaken memories of love and crime and death..."

Illoman

"Aqualung" by Jethro Tull. And I have photographic evidence.... ;D

Also an early Queen fan. IMO, Sheer Heart Attack is one of the best albums from that era. It was so huge in sound that they put a disclaimer saying all the music was real and no synths were used.

I wore my LP out I played it every day sometimes twice.
