What album(s) really started your love of albums? For me, it was Highway 61 Revisited.

When I was 13 I bought a copy of The Unicorn's, Who Will Cut Our Hair When We're Gone? after hearing the name and being really intrigued at what an album with that name might sound like. It sounded so different from all Alt-Pop stuff I was listening to at the time, that it really sparked my interest in trying to discover new music. It's still a favorite of mine.

Tough question...I'd have to honestly say "Fragile" by Nine Inch Nails. I remember stealing or rather borrowing my older sisters copy so many times and putting it on SUPER LOUD on my family's stereo. I actually recall I blew the speakers out with that album, track 7 - forget what the name was...
Anyway, it was like late 1999 or early 2000 and I was 10 and I was in love with music like never before. Still really love the big rhythmic production on that record.

Weezer's Red Album in 2008. It wouldn't be until around 2010-2011 though that I would start listening to new albums regularly. I still have a lot of work to do, to be honest.

It's hard to say... I was absolutely devoted to the album Move Along by the All-American Rejects in 9th grade, but I wasn't really into music then. The first album I was obsessed with when I started to get into music was Revolver.
I have a custom chart that tackles this question more completely: http://www.besteveralbums.com/thechart.php?c=10196

I got a few Beatles vinyls for Christmas when I was 9 years old, and amongst them, Sgt. Pepper became my absolute favourite. It was an original 1967-printed vinyl so I was very proud of it. I listened it over and over, it was the first album which I really got into. Second one was Rubber Soul.

Both Lonesome crowded west and Moon and antarctica. First LCW of course, then M&A. LCW was something I found online via listening to modest mouse songs, basically the first album I listened to and loved instantly, Moon and antarctica did the same, but impacted me more via emotion than LCW (they both impacted me on an emotional level of course, one more so than the other). While I've probably said these particular albums for a lot of different things, there are always ones you cling onto via memories and etc. and Modest Mouse just takes up a lot in that form of things.

Not to drive us off-topic, but I hate when people call YHF "alt-country."
