A news breaking item is on cnn.com today. It reads "Love At First Listen: Albums That Changed Your Lives".I'm still trying to think of one. I remember the first time I heard Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band... I did like it very much (years after it was first released). There were bits and pieces, but no albums. No (original) album would or could have 'changed my life'. May I say that would be one tall order!
I just remembered the time a friend played his Frank Zappa album "Sheik Yerbouti" for me; the one with the song about chutes...

Well most of my favourite albums became so by growing after a few listens. Having said that, one of my desert island picks became a favourite the moment I put it on the turntable: Brian Eno's Discreet Music.
It was Who's Next for me. And In the Wake of Poseidon. Until got older and found Kind of Blue and Saxophone Collosus.
Maybe it's a format thing, but no CD, no matter how good the music on it, has ever thrilled me the way playing those three LPs did.
And, though I don't care much for the music now, there were a few Yes albums in my youth that were also in heavy rotation.
