Music changes things. At least for me, music has always played a very strong role in my life. So I'm working on a chart like nothing I've seen before - the albums that changed me the most. How about y'all? What changed you? _________________
For me I would say the albums that really changed my life and the way I operate in life and my worldview etc were
when I was 13 and I first picked up a CD copy of "London Calling" from the library, that changed my life a lot. Made me feel a certain rebelliousness. Rather, I already was rebellious, but it gave me an outlet or a symbol of how I felt in a way.
Obviously when I heard Bob Dylan's "Ballad of Hollis Brown" off "The Times They Are A-Changin'" that was pretty revolutionary to me. I had never heard anything like that. It was almost like in that instance I found someone I could totally connect with and I also felt like I was finally looking past my own little idea of life in my own little box. Bob Dylan completely changed me. That was when I was 12. Also got that from the library.
Just earlier than that the first record I remember TOTALLY obsessing over and the first album that made me feel like I was really part of something and that I had something most people didn't have was "Ride The Lightning". That blew my mind! I was 12.
And besides that there have been lots but the last one i will mention is when I discovered The Tallest Man On Earth. I remember going out and finding a copy of "The Wild Hunt" and being completely transfixed by the austere beauty of it. I have been obsessed ever since. But even more than that, that album made me feel more assured and relaxed. It was sort of a spiritual record for me. I found a kindred spirit in that record and in that artist which I hadn't found since discovering Bob Dylan. There ya go...
