I was listening to one of my all time favourite records since my teenage year and came up with this idea.
What are the most 3 important records of your life?
Which 3 records have/had the most influence in yourself and led you to the path you're taking now?
Mine are:
Setting Sons - The Jam
* Record which I had to beg my mum to lend me some money to buy.
Hatful Of Hollow - The Smiths
* My first ever The Smiths record I listened to.
London Calling - The Clash
* Record which was/will remain the sound of my life at some point.

Great question and very hard to answer!
REM - Green --- they were the very first band I was totally besotted with and I think that was one of the first ones I bought. Also, Mr. Stipe taught me how to fall in love with a voice.
Joy Division - Substance --- opened me up for a whole new world of music, Manchester!
Oasis - Don't believe the truth --- the one that sealed the deal with them for me and the passion I developed for them turned concert travelling (post Oasis of course) into something totally normal for me.

It all started with Nirvana. My first CD purchase in 1992. Then came Oasis and Morning Glory blew the roof off for me in 1995. I was a freshman in college in the fall of 2000. I was 3,000 miles from home. By myself for the first time ever. Kid A kept me company which kinda sounds horrific when looking back on it.
Nirvana - Nevermind (1991)
Oasis - Morning Glory (1995)
Radiohead - Kid A (2000)
Proud that none of these albums are like each other.

New Order- Technique
Radiohead- The Bends
Oasis - Definitely Maybe
Many great albums come and go, but these are the ones that have had the most staying power in my life. Been listening regularly since they were released.

Oasis - Be Here Now
U2 - Pop
Radiohead - OK Computer
All 1997, what a year! In music as well for me as I was 13 at the time so these were really the first albums I bought.
Great days..

Oasis- Definitely Maybe
Made me realise what an album was. Before I heard this record I foolishly thought in my 13 year old wisdom that the singles must be the bands best stuff, after hearing 11 tracks of pure brilliance and album tracks such as Columbia, Rock n Roll Star and Slide Away I knew my musical journey would be changed forever
Nine Inch Nails- The Fragile
Before somebody borrowed me this album during my A levels I was pretty much an ‘Indie’ guy and dismisses most other genres out of the Indie/Alternative circles. This album introduced me to so many different sounds and styles; Metal, Ambient, Industrial, Symphonic as well as how an album can be one collective piece of work as opposed to individual tracks.
The Strokes- Is This It?
Nowadays this album wouldn’t even feature in my Top 20 in terms of my favourites but when it was released it was massive for me. Being 15 at the time, all the music I loved had come before (Oasis, Blur, Manics etc) but this was a new band and I was getting into them at the same time as everyone else. It was so exciting

Most meaningful is more difficult than favourite, I had to really think about this.
Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures
Gorillaz - Gorillaz (Debut)
The Smiths - The Smith's (Debut)
These three albums transport me back to when I first listened to then, and the significant things happening in my life at the time, and how they shaped my music taste in the future. I like to think of them as check points in my life.
Special shout outs to The Cure - Head On The Door, and The 1975 - Brief Enquiry aswell, also heavily important to me

Oasis - definitely maybe, I was 10 in 94, but my sister was 19, thank fuck she has good taste, literally played to death in our house
Love - forever changes, given to me by a friend of my mum who was teaching me guitar when I was around 14, takes me to another world, beautiful album
Bob Dylan - the essential Bob Dylan, I know, it's a compilation, but how can you choose just 1 Dylan album? it has positively 4th street, between 2000-2004 I can't remember a single night out/party/weekend where that song wasn't played about 5 times in a row at some point

It was so exciting The Strokes in 2001 were a lightning rod of hope. A total reversal of the boy bands, rap metal and pop stars of the time. Rock was cool again for a couple of years. Probably lasted until 2005ish. I know the band has lost a lot of luster over the last 20 years but between 2001 and 2004 this band was special. |

The verve - "Urban hymns"
First rock album I ever bought, I used to listen to it every day for months as I didn't have many other CDs back then.
Oasis - "Be here now"
I discovered Oasis in 1998 with WTSMG & BHN, the latter was my favourite, still is.
Doc Gynéco - "Première consultation"
A hugely successful French rap album released in 1996, I was 12 when I bought it, managed to scrape the money somehow, sneaked to the record store & smuggled it back home as my parents wouldn't have approved of the many sexual references in the lyrics (I listened to it on the sly).
Probably the only album for me that conveys so many memories of my life at a particular time.
It sat on the shelf for years after I started listening to rock music, until one day I stumbled upon it, put it in my stereo out of curiosity & was blown away how great it still sounds: top grade, laid-back G-funk with Gynéco's melodic delivery that makes it the French equivalent to "Doggystyle". A timeless classic.

I like WTSMG more, but this was the first record I owned and listened to from start to finish, since then music has become a huge part of my daily life
Sex Pistols - Never Mind The Bollocks, Here's The Sex Pistols
The first record I bought for myself, first of many actually, it just reminds me of how curious I was and how much stuff was there for me to discover
Daniele Silvestri - Acrobati
Italian record, not even my favourite by him, but it's the one that got me into italian music, which I had completely ignored till then, and also triggered a chain of events that made me meet a lot of nice people, and a couple of important ones in my life

Oasis - morning glory made them my favourite, BHN sealed the deal, and The Masterplan made me a madferit for life.
Verve - urban hymns. Even though ANS is my favourite by them, this album cemented my style preference for British rock. Also they’ve been part of my life since 1997 which is a long time now.
24 hour party people OST - got me into Buzzcocks, the Clash, sex pistols, the jam and more interested in Manchester music.

Nirvana - Nevermind
This changed everything. I wasn't really into albums until I heard this record and it made me realise I should get rid of the mindset that only singles are "good". I liked all the songs on the album and really fell in love with deep cuts like Lounge Act and Drain You. There was both melody and raw loudness in it, and I knew exactly that's the kind of music I'm into. Looking back, that still hasn't changed.
Oasis - (What's The Story) Morning Glory?
And this was the change from American grunge to British rock music, and it ended up giving me a whole new identity. Just before I got into Oasis I had started going to football games and was in the process of changing my appearance to suit the "football casual" style more. Suddenly, I realised that Gallaghers were also into that kind of stuff and they were wearing clothes just like mine and it just made me think "This is it! This is my thing!". It was great because I wasn't really copying them at all, it felt more like we were part of the same "scene" and they were an influence. At the same time though especially Liam helped me to become even more courageous with my clothing and I tried to add some mod, rock 'n' roll and psychedelia in the mix instead of just staying as a "casual".
The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses
After Oasis I wanted to hear their influences and this was a game changer - what an album! I remember it didn't blew my mind on the first listen, instead it got me curious; what is this music? I think I didn't even listen to it again immediately but then I heard songs from the album watching a movie, Hooligans, which I had seen in the past and I was surprised to hear the songs in the soundtrack, and I was even more surprised when I realised they sound fucking amazing. I decided to play the album again and that's when it really hit me - this is actually brilliant! I've never heard anything like it. All this got me more and more into music and I'd say this is the album that really kickstarted my interest to discover more. Music was now my "thing".

Nice thread, good idea, here are mine
Oasis - Morning Glory : pivotal to my life. those 10 songs and the bsides... wow. Met friends, band members, wife and had a wonderful kid thanx to that album. self taught music playing on it, wrote songs... Played DLBIA at my wedding since it's my wife's song. What else ?
The Beatles - Abbey Road : not an obvious choice but yeah this one was a slap in the face even though i had other Beatles records before that. But this one opened to a lot of other more complex music. So thanx, guys.
Pulp - Different Class : I was gonna put This is Hardcore instead since it's a better album, but DC had the most impact on who i am today : being who you want to be and not listening to negative people, which is the theme of the whole record. That spoke to me at 15. Still does. Hats off to Jarvis Cocker.

Oasis Definitely Maybe- Massively important album to me as a 12 year old when it came out, still their best album and crowning moment. Nothing came close after for me.
The Stone Roses debut- Still my favorite album of all time, nothing comes close to it. Just everything about it, the swagger and coolness, the Roses were a proper unit. Beautiful lyrics too, not many call them out for how good they are. Great B-sides too around that time as well.
Arctic Monkeys Humbug- Could have picked any of their albums to be fair, but this one showed the balls of the band not willing to take the easy route but to rip up their earlier sound and go in their own direction. Great album.

Or death :-) I was planning it for wedding or funeral hahaha. But I broke up with girlfriend recently, I was an idiot and did using messages on Viber and then later came to her apartment to apologize and do it like a man and when I knocked on her door I heard her listening DLBIA and heard her crying. Now I cant stand that fucking song xD I hope that it will pass. |
