Albums that actually made a significant impact on your life and not just some high school melodrama bullshit that "got you through"
I'd rather not specify, but I've went through a lot of similar things that happened to poor Daniel...so this album was like a hug
This album made me appreciate harsher sounds in music.
Without it, I probably wouldn't even appreciate early AnCo.
Pic related really broke me into hip-hop for about two and a half years, showed me to how to appreciate an album. It was all I listened to. Then dalek's Negro Necro Nekros got me into krautrock and noise rock.

What made this have a significant impact on your life?
>>63842697
I can't tell if you're serious or not
>>63842741
It's not my favorite album by any means but it's the only album that I can say that has a "before I heard it" and "after I heard it" thing you know?
>>63842598
I'm not even memeing. This is the album that got me into music. Thanks /mu/, without you assholes, I never would have started listening to albums. I'd just keep listening to the hottest singles from old rock bands.
>tfw /mu/ has positively influenced your life

I can see why you would think that, especially because Whitehouse has a reputation for "lol screaming man over noise" or some bullshit, but I assure you I'm serious.
I originally liked Whitehouse as a joke and only listened to Wriggle Like A Fucking Eel, but I eventually found a record store that sold Bird Seed on CD for pretty cheap and I picked it up.
The album really clicked when I listened to it as a whole and I was able appreciated noise music a lot better thanks to it.
This, along with every Portishead album, gets me through every stumbling second of 30+-something melodrama bullshit relationship angst.
Why am I such a feckless psycho

not him, but I don't know. explain

It's like the album that changed my whole perspective on not just music but life as well. I was lost before I heard it and now things are just less foggy
Hard to say because I haven't really done anything significant in my life.
I realized there's more to life than money and dropped out of college to pursue my dreams. after spending a year reading alan watts in my bedroom i then started my life in a new direction. I befriended a group of friends who all had also dropped out of school for various reasons, mostly intellectual, and we traveled the country for about a year, making money selling one of our guy's art and panhandling. unfortunately this ended when I landed in jail for marijuana possession. I'm now living happily with my parents and had I not been inspired by this music I would never have made that soundcloud account.

How'd you meet your friends bro? that sounds pretty awesome
The first 30 seconds of God Save The Queen mean more to me than the entire Pink Floyd discography
>>63845232
Bodies is also an extremely important song in my music journey
I learned how to smoke cigarettes to this. I would walk over a mile to a park from my grandma's house with a marlboro ultra light that'd I would steal from my mom. weird time.

Talk about art imitating life
goodbye mommy issues (hello, paranoia)
>nobody can articulate the impact
quelle suprise
>>63845350
haha yeah I think it's quite fitting now looking back on it.
>>63844557
wow interesting story. alan watts is great. I wish I had the guts to follow my feet.
I've thrown this on so many times since I first got ahold of the reissue CD. It just became the background music for everything in my life then on.
Years later I finally "got" it, or maybe it got me. During one listen suddenly every song just clicked, I associate this album with so many points/memories/emotions in my life. It's like a little old familiar lane I can revisit now.
I don't know if it's the music itself or what its become for me. I can't explain it without sounding corny as fuck. I need to meet Gary in person at some point in my life.

pretty much got me interested in everything electronic, hyped for Junk coming out friday
about three years ago, i was homeless and squatting in a run-down filthy shack with no lights or running water
i listened to this until the battery on my mp3 player ran out and sat alone in the dark smoking cigarettes

These albums got me through some shit. Especially OP.
>>63842926
I feel you, ITAOTS and other /mu/core albums are what really got me into music and I'm thankful for that.
>dark side of the moon
>got me into rock
>began playing guitar
>formed band
Pic related was like the literal 4th album I listened to as just that, an album. Before this I listened to songs and shit, but when I found this I discovered the concept of albums as a whole.
It was amazing listening to this shit as a complete newbie in music. I'd literally have some very shitty brostep songs, shit dadrock songs and this full album.
>>63842926
This to be fucking honest family.
I've had two musical shifts in my life: first one was my growth in interest of music itself (mostly dadrock) and then the second shift was a move to being more discerning about the music I listen to and expanding my interests.
That said, this album was the first one I ever really listened to and I would not be on this board had I never heard it.
>>63845711
I listened to this right before a bad acid trip, so now it's kinda ruined for me. Still a great album.
THIS. Getting some related tattoo done soon. The sound, the culture, the Edda, it all feels right in my life.
Any anons relate?
>>63842598
This album is my best friend.
Minor Threat's Discography got me into hardcore punk. I listened to nothing but punk for 2 years straight, then went on /mu/ and heard ITCOTCK. That's the album that got me expanding my horizons

Gary Wilson has been a top favorite artist of mine for years now, I can easily understand now why he has a tiny group of people that practically worship him, his music has that sort of "charm" to it that I fucking love.
"New York Surf" is by far his best song of all time. I play it while people watching and it makes me just reflect on humanity for a minute or so.

Anything by Elliott Smith because it helped "get me through" highschool, but also because my mother was an alcoholic and died recently. She really liked Elliott ,so it reminds me of her.

Same album for me, family. Discovered it in Limewire's heyday. Before this, I listened to dadrock and trance exclusively. My cousin fell in love with this album as well, but now he only listens to bro-country and trap. He still loves NMH though. It's so fucking strange.
>>63842634
i recently got into his music and i've listened to about 10 of his albums over the past 3 days. I just cant stop listening
