Pink Floyd - The Wall
Influenced me to go out and buy all pink floyd cds, and listen to them non-stop for about a year. (Only to never really listen to them again.)
The Clash - London Calling
Was good enough to get me to go out and buy every british punk album I could find. Nothing really compared though.
U2 - The Joshua Tree
Made me realize how crappy whatever music I was listening to at the time really was.
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - The Good Son
The Pixies - Doolittle
The first 2 "Alternative" CDs I bought, that got me into all the other great alternative music that was being made in the late 80s, early 90s.
Oh Inverted World (The Shins) and Arcade Fire (Funeral) may make this list one day. They both opened my eyes to the fact that there is great indie music being made these days, and really got me back into listening to new music again.
