42 posts and no attempt at a Rick Roll! You're slipping CP.
Lots of choices others have mentioned has brought back memories for me (Replacements, Living Color, Sugar, Live, Supertramp, REM and others. Probably my biggest influence would be Tom Sawyer or YYZ. They were my first introduction to Rush and the start of a life long enjoyment of their music and especially their lyrics. Nobody's Hero always gives me chills.
Wheat Kings by The Hip also does it for me. Sarah McLauchlan Ice Cream was our wedding song. To round out the Canadian content I'll add Goodbye Grace and Rites of Man by Spirit of The West. Both of those songs are so personal to the writer and evoke huge emotion.

Jeff beck- pay me no mind
I have been listening to Jeff Beck since elementary school, but this took me deep into fusion and jazz.
This album is almost a whole new genre, the "same old Beck with a kick in the A**

Radiohead - Let Down
I never knew music could be so beautiful. Made me a fan of music in a way that I never was before.
The Beatles have never really changed it all for me, but that's because I've been listening to them as long as I can remember. My parents used to play it for me as a baby and a tot.

A friend of mine went into the city and the Southcentre HMV. Asked the guy at the counter for something new and good, and was given Copper Blue, by Sugar. I will never forget hearing that record for the first time.
I'd never heard anything like it. I new in one of those complete epiphany kind of moments that 1) if there was more music out there like that, I'd have to hear it, as much of it as I could, and 2) that I would have to learn how to do it myself.
So yeah, that record changed my life probably more completely than anything else that's ever happened to me.
There were other songs that would have similar effects (I can still remember equally vividly the first time I heard Heroin by the Velvet Underground, Silent Kid by Pavement and the first Drive Like Jehu record) but the first chords of Copper Blue were the real defining thing, the 'everything is different from now on' moment.

Copper Blue is definitely one of the biggest influences on my musical path.
Hearing Limelight for the first time was a revelation. Pavement asked, " what about the voice of Geddy Lee, how did it get so high?"
Hearing Brian May's solo on We Will Rock You made a big impression - I never heard a guitar sound like that.
I remember seeing Tommy Gun by the Clash on FM Moving Pictures, and it blew my mind. That show introduced me to music not heard much on commercial radio at the time - Talking Heads, Roxy Music etc.

I think what really saved me from bad taste in music was listening to London Calling in its entirety when I was about 14 years old. Absolutely blew my mind that a "punk" band could just about do anything with their sound. Songs like "Revolution Rock", and "Brand New Cadillac" helped introduce me to entire other genres of music.

Radiohead - Just, mostly for the video, but this was the song that got me into what is now one of my top three artists.

No one actually knows besides the director. I think the point is that the sad alienation of life pulls us all down. That's all I could intuit about the video.

Oddly enough the song that changed my perspective on music drastically was "Wish" by Nine Inch Nails. That band went on to define my adolescence.
Also some credit to the Grateful Dead with "Terrapin Station". My dad played that record when I was a kid and it always blew me away.

Here's a few, each from different periods of my life which have had a profound effect on me at that time.
"Smells Like Teen Spirit" - Nirvana
"Bittersweet Symphony" - The Verve
"No Cars Go" - The Arcade Fire

"Path of Thorns" from Sarah Mclachlan, I was 16 when this was released and as soon as I heard it I knew what GOOD music was.
2nd would have to be "Time" from Dark side of the moon, most definitely life changing.

Playing Danny Boy in the hospital room as my mom was dieing. I will never be able to hear it again, period. But songs that mean alot to me, or get me emotionally or affected me:
River-Robert Downey Jr.
What a Wonderful World-Louis Armstrong
Wind beneath my wings-Bette Midler
The one song that took my breath away, was Free Bird, playing at a funeral. Boy did that ever hit me, like no song before.
