Honestly, I've never been blown away by an album on first listen. Usually I'm indifferent to it at first then it eventually becomes my favorite. If I think it's good at first listen, it probably means it won't become my favorite and it will become stale.

Definitely "Aja"

I'll add...Brad Paisley's "Mud on the Tires",
Tedeschi Trucks Band "Revelator"
The Gathering Field "Lost in America"
The Police "Regatta de Blanc"
John Scofield "A Moment's Peace"

But I'm not actually that easily blown away ...

I was kinda ready for it because I first saw Jimi play a week or so before it was released, but still...

Drifting into the relative future, I'd nominate "Wrecking Ball" and "Aenima/Lateralus" for discs that lit my lamp right from the first listen.

Tool and Emmylou.

Now that's a prime double bill for me...

middy · April 25th, 2012, 09:14 AM

The Beatles - White Album
Jimi Hendrix - Band of Gypsies
Led Zeppelin IV
King Crimson - Court of the Crimson King
Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick
Charles Mingus - Ah Um
The Minutemen - Double Nickles on the Dime
The Pixies - Surfer Rosa

Throttleneck · April 25th, 2012, 10:03 AM

Each one of these stunned me when I listened to them for the first time. I think some of it might have been the time when they came out.

CancerLeoCam · April 25th, 2012, 10:05 AM

pondcaster · April 25th, 2012, 10:16 AM

Not saying it's my all-time favorite although I really like this LP... still remember exactly what I was thinking when I heard Mr. Jones the 1st time on the radio... then was blown away by the whole thing.

Bar set too high, unfortunately.

Fret Wilkes · April 25th, 2012, 10:21 AM

Lucinda Williams - Car Wheels On A Gravel Road
Rodney Crowell - The Houston Kid
Rodney Crowell - Fates Right Hand
Rodney Crowell - The Outsider

Deeve · April 25th, 2012, 10:41 AM

EC Was Here - live Clapton singing and playing pretty well, in my opinion.
Watershed moment: Have You Ever Loved A Woman.
Never heard a better version.
Never.

Odd detail re: vinyl (wore it out, of course) and CD - the CD contains additional time playing Driftin Blues (wisely) edited out from the vinyl. Vinyl fades out "mid song" ostensibly to accommodate the time limit of a LP - okay.
CD includes this "missing" music and it's a series of horrendous clams, EC re-entering the tune in the wrong key (face-palm moment) and doesn't correct for a while.
Oh, to have been a sideman on that show. Carl Radle, Yvonne Elliman, George Terry were...

Peace - Deeve

rcole_sooner · April 25th, 2012, 10:50 AM

Really, there are quite a few, that did, but I'll limit it to these. In the order I listened to them.

RUSH - 2112 (The whole intro just got me. I was young and it seemed exotic[?].)
Journey - Infinity (This one still does. I just love this album. Can't play much of it.)
Van Halen - Van Halen (It was amazing!!! I could hear the whole falling down stairs and catching himself at the bottom.)
Queensryche - Operation Mindcrime (Still my favorite concept album.)
Ministy - Psalm 69 (Came at a time, when I needed my brain melted.)
D/C Talk - Jesus Freak (TobyMac can write some songs.)

I won't mention Foreigner - Foreigner and Steve Miller - Book of Dreams, because that would be too embarrassing.

Hey, I was young.
