jane's addiction - half of nothing's shocking and the second side of ritual
Not quite sure how Nothing's Shocking can have changed your life in '87... It wasn't released until 1988 and Ritual De Lo Habitual didn't put in its first appearance until 1990
I think I've mentioned some of this information before but I'm going to do again because I love music. Starting my musical journey this year (although not epic) has been really interesting for me. In the span of months I have listened to many albums - and I've even found my favourite album of all time - to start me off on some interest that I hope will never leave me. I'll start from the albums that changed me (either musically or as a person) chronologically:

i didn't put he year by each album so basically the first group is from 1987 to 1994,
Discovering Nirvana when I was 12ish was pretty huge for me, up to this point I just got by on my Now That's What I Call Music and Brit Awards compilations 🤣 So yeah, Nevermind is what really got me into music I guess. Similar sort of time I got into love with The Libertines, Up The Bracket seemed like part of my identity at points.
I still didn't start listening to albums regularly until quite a bit later though, used to mainly just dl individual songs off limewire instead. This was the time I was getting into Nas and Biggie and stuff, because my friends were into it, so Illmatic and Ready To Die I guess had a big impact on me at this point even though I probably never heard either album all the way through until quite a bit later.
Couple other albums like Original Pirate Material soundtracked my life for a period but I couldn't say if they changed me or I just listened to it because I already connected with the music, and lyrics especially, or not 🤔
Didn't really know about The Smiths past a few big singles, started to get into them because of This Charming Man and I think it's hard to overstate how much of an impact they had, especially the self titled, on my perspective on certain things. Smiths definitely made me a happier person even though people say they're depressing.
Don't think I've heard albums since then that have changed my life in the same way but I guess life is more steady and less hectic when you stop being a teenager. Still, maybe with hindsight what I'm listening to now I'll one day say changed my life. _________________ Shut up mate you're boring!
I'd have to say that 'No Code' by Pearl Jam was the album that really changed my life.
That album was either disliked, disregarded, or completely unknown by everyone around me. But, I liked it. A lot. That album was the first time that I recall really liking an album without some sort of recommendation or vindication from someone else. That was the first time I remember that no one else really had any influence on by opinion on it. As a matter of fact, I seemed to like it in spite of what others thought. I guess that gave me the realization that I can like anything I want to like and my opinion is the only one that matters when I'm buying a new CD or whatever.
