Weekend Music. Which album influenced you the most?

[Lion Son/Husband/Father]

Sons 1&2 introduced me to FIDLAR and reignited my love of the pit.

 

[Op2]

Not even close. 5000 listens on my Walkman as a youngster

I had that one back in the day. Great album. 20 songs and IIRC no hits at all, but so what? Lots of good keyboards, organ, piano, etc, on that one.

Had an English teacher in HS that was a part time DJ, good radio gig . He'd get albums and bring some in as prizes for whatever, I won a copy of this approx. '74 . It was about a whole different world to a hs kid from western PA. I loved it within a week and still do

The Chairman of the Board and Jack Daniels got me thru so many lost love affairs of my youth. Ah yes I remember it well

One of my all time favorites. I remember listening to this on the radio when I was my grandchildren's age.

This will be an odd collection of the 4 I'd choose:

yup. Very eclectic. however four GREAT albums.

 

[ChandlerPearce]

The Monkees.....first experience in pop music
Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin......first album of greatest rock band
Styx.....Equinox
Black Sabbath......Paranoid

 

[nittanyfan333]

Started with this one. This is what got me REALLY loving the trumpet. My dad played and that’s ultimately why I played, but this drove my love for the instrument. Especially 25 or 6 to 4.

as I got older, I can remember the first few country songs I listened to regularly were from this one. This is what also started my love for country music. I remember praying that I would “draw” the cab tractor when we were raking hay so I could tune into WIOV and WXCY (southern York county/northern Harford country stations)

as I got older and started listening to grunge, of course I knew nirvana and STP and Pearl Jam, but every time a certain band was On 105.7 theX, I paid more attention. Alice In Chains. The vocal harmonies, distorted guitar andLayne Staley’s voice captivated me. Then I heard this performance and it immediately endeared the band to me and put them at the top of my favorite band list for life.Not just being able to hear the pain in his voice, but see it on stage..... powerful performance.

While being 60+ years in age.....I am lucky because I have seen so much.....so often a song comes on the radio and my mind flashes back to seeing that band live....in my high school and college days I was so lucky to see Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Heart, Kansas, ELO, BTO, Billy Joel, Styx, Paul McCartney, Eagles, Skynyrd, Moody Blues, CCR, and so many more. Later with my daughters we saw Stained, Journey, Match Box 20, Linkin Park, incubus, STP, Elton John, ++++. My life has been filled with music and sports....I wonder if ELP wrote "Lucky Man" about me!

 

[odshowtime]

I’m not sure any album really “influenced” me. Influence means, the capacity to have an effect on the character, development, or behavior of someone or something, or the effect itself.

I read the question like we have a bunch of songwriters in here. I doubt that.
