here's an idea I stole from another board. Name the top 5 albums that helped influence your taste in music. They don't necessarily have to be your favourites, just the ones that pointed you in the musical direction you've chosen. Here are mine:

Led Zeppelin - untitled (usually known as Led Zeppelin 4) - dad used to crank this one when we were kids. Black Dog ruled!

AC/DC - Back in Black - one of the first albums I bought with my own money. Despite some obvious overplay, I still count this as one of the best albums ever made.

Black Sabbath - Paranoid - Iron Man got played to death in my grade seven year. This is not their best album, but it opened my eyes to the other great Sabbath stuff, and later Ozzy's solo work.

Motley Crue - Shout at the Devil - forget the silly image, the sound on this album flat-out rocked. So-called glam metal gets laughed at, but I was a big fan of some of it. Ratt's Out of the Cellar was decent from that era as well

Metallica - Ride the Lightning - the first time I heard it, we laughed our asses off at how ridiculously fast the guitars in "Fight Fire with Fire" were. Then I listened to the rest of the album and loved it. Master of Puppets was their best, but this one got me hooked.
