This is actually a really cool thread, I like this idea a lot. Some of these were more just because of one song but I heard the full album at least once and pre-youtube my music intake was nearly nothing, we only had a few cassettes we'd just play on repeat really.
1 Rubber Soul by The Beatles
2 Digimon Soundtrack by Various Artists (while this had the digirap it was mostly ska punk)
3 Sweet Baby James by James Taylor
4 OK Go - OK Go
5 Abbey Road - The Beatles
6 American Idiot - Green Day
7 Soul's Core - Shawn Mullins
8 Imagine - John Lennon
9 Monkey Business - Black Eyed Peas
10 Blink 182 - Blink 182
EDIT: There was a John Denver album for me too that should probably be here instead of Soul's Core but I can't remember what album. My mom adored him and he actually died in the town I was born in - we went to his memorial when I was about 9 months old, I was on the news as the "youngest mourner" supposedly. _________________

I'm guessing some of this is your parents and some of it is older siblings? Cool stuff.

Looks like we both grew up on Graceland.

Fortunately, I was born into a (big) family with a taste for music. I had plenty of influences, from my parents, cousins, uncles, etc...
These albums have to be the one's i most listened as a kid around the house and some family dinner parties and stuff. (I will exclude some Portuguese band albums because most of them aren't even listed here at BEA)
- The Rolling Stones - Wild Horses (Dad) (also Still Life was playing a lot)
- Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here (Dad) (also Final Cut and DSOTM)
- Dire Straits - Making Movies (Dad) (in the case of Dire Straits, my dad had all the records, but Making Movies was the one that influenced me the most.
- Bruce Springsteen - The River (Dad) (sometimes would just put the greatest hits)
- Santana - Abraxas (Dad) (Also Supernatural was out in that time)
- Billy Joel - The Stranger (Mom) (also The River of Dreams)
- Roxy Music - Flesh and Blood (Mom)
- Sade - Lovers Rock (Mom) (I was already 10/11 at this time but also huge influence)
- Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Green Day, Alice in Chains (cousins) (Hard to come out with just a record, they introduce me to Grunge and Punk)
- AC/DC - Highway to Hell (uncle) (had a crazy metal head of a uncle! thank god!)

I don't actually have any older siblings! Beatles was a combo of parents, digimon was just something that was in a theatre and I loved, Taylor is my mom, OK Go was my cousin introducing us to a thing called "youtube" back in like 06 and us then buying the album as a family, Green Day was a friend of mine from 2nd grade (as with yellow card but that was just that one song people know), Shawn Mullins' Lullaby was the singular song my younger brother liked growing up, imagine was the first cd I was given, I think we had a few by then but that was a gift to me and special, and black eyed peas and blink were my mom liking Gone Going and I Miss You respectively and buying the albums. Denver was my mom too. My taste is now much closer to my dad's, but that's somewhat less child friendly I suppose _________________
