What one album...?

[Mike_S]

What one album changed the course of your musical journey forever?

For me it was ZZ Top's Eliminator. I was knocked out as a fourteen or fifteen year old kid when those singles started appearing on MTV in the eighties... I mean the video for Legs... come on!! So I bought the album on cassette and played it almost daily for what seems now like a couple of years... igniting my lifelong love of rock music.

I'll have to be boring and cliched, but it really was Sgt Pepper's. I was listening to it from the age of 4 on my mum's Dansette record player, absorbing it all.

The most seminal musical moments for me weren't records though: they were Marc Bolan  doing 'Get it On' on top of the pops in a Mickey Mouse tee shirt. And seeing my Uncle Roger's band doing Back in the USSR at a  Silver Jubilee gig in '77.

Love Eliminator!

White Music by XTC i remember buying it and my boss at the time saying it wouldn't stand the test of time 50 years later still turns me on.

Leftoverture by Kansas was a revelation to me - rock songs with soaring melodies and complex, multi level arrangements.  I bought it twice on vinyl after pretty much wearing the first one out. If I had to choose just one song as an all-time favourite it would be Miracles Out of Nowhere  from this album.

Zep 4 for me not a bad song on it ?
