Sign "O" The Times by Prince -- Like taking a trip through his head ... just an amazing set of weird and funky songs that sounded like nothing else on the radio at the time.
Achtung Baby by U2 -- The sound of four men chopping down The Joshua Tree with a lot of dark, sexy distortion amidst the ruins of the Berlin Wall. The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion by the Black Crowes -- In the early 1990s, there weren't a lot of people getting those guitar tones. Hallelujah! |

There a lot of albums I love, but blown away on first listen is a different thing. You guys must be better able to remember such things than I am.

The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion - The Black Crowes
Amazing from start to finish. I listened to it regurally for about 20 years. Aenima - Tool Undertow is great, Lateralus is great, but this one just does something to me I won't even begin to explain. Fire and Water - Free All the Free albums are great, but this was my first. Changed me forever. Brothers - The Black Keys I didn't expect the record to sound like this. I couldn't quit playing it for months. Absolutely brilliant modern rock record. From Beale Street to Oblivion - Clutch As much as I like all the others, this one may be my favorite. If you haven't heard it, you really should give it a try. Magnolia - The Screamin' Cheetah Wheelies It takes me to the summer I graduated. It just makes me feel free, love it. Beggars Banquet, Sticky Fingers and Exile, I love that era from the Stones. Meddle, Dark Side, Wish You Were Here. I shouldn't have to say anything about these. That seems like alot. Maybe I'm easily blown away?

Pink Floyd, Wish You Were Here.
My brother came back from summer camp with that tape in his backpack when I was in high school. I played it one day and was hooked.

I suppose it's a bit biased sounding, but actually being blown away on first listen, and then every listen thereafter, I can only think of a couple....
Beatles "Abbey Road" Pink Floyd's "DSOTM" There are many more albums that I really love, but they sorta snuck up on me over time. The two mentioned above were a complete shock to the senses. To this day I still listen to them in completion when I need a musical escape

"Treasure" by The Cocteau Twins. Up to that point, I never knew music could sound like this. To this day, this album (and "Blue Bell Knoll" by the same band) never cease to amaze me with their beauty and textures.
"Some Great Reward" by Depeche Mode. Another complete shock to my system. Pure brilliance from 1984. While I don't think this is their best album (that goes to Violator, followed by Black Celebration), this was my first exposure to Depeche Mode. |

The first album that came to my mind for this thread is Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band. I read about it somewhere--maybe in one of those magazine lists where music writers would talk about the most far-out albums or have lists of big groundbreaking albums...else maybe I heard of it in an interview with some musician I admired, but I was around 12-13 and had heard this was such a strange but "important" album that I went to the local Peaches Record Shop in Tulsa, Ok. and bought a copy (on cassette!) I wasn't quite prepared for it, but it definitely blew me away. Like Matt Groening says of the album, when I first heard it I thought it was just kind of random improvised mess with lyrics dubbed on top (and I dug it anyway.) It wasn't until a few listens later that I realized how painstakingly tight and orchestrated of a thing it is. Still consider it a pinnacle achievement in the annals of rock and pop music. |
