here i go hoe!
some choices... dead kennedys -plastic surgery disasters I got this while I was in middle school. I listened to a lto fo green day, offspring, things of the such. I started getting into more punk but it was all over with this one. Up to that point this was most brilliant punk album i'd heard. Jello couldn't sing but kicked asss at it and east bay ray was a guiatr master. i used to bop around my room yelling "NAZI PUNKS! NAZI PUNKS! NAZI PUNKS FUCK OFF!" and "riot the unbeatable high riot shoots yr nerves to the sky!". It was awesome. Beach Boys-pet sounds From the moment I heard I liked, at college I learned to love it. One day while I was walking to my class with it on my headphones everything clicked. Every word and melody fit my displacement. I left home to go to a nowhere town to a college that I really didn't have a reason to be there, I realized this during "that's not me". I left the girl I love and no one else mattered, I was loneyl, but pet sounds made sense. Sonic youth-BMR The only SY album I always have in my top 3 SY albums. It's the wierdest thing they've done and that's why I love it. The songs are more explorations of the noises they could tear out their guitars. COnfusion was just fucked out of the universe punk rock dirge, but BMR was an expansion of the sound. Mix the two together and presto! EVOL and most everything on. But without the abrassive avant-garde sounds it's less intresting... and there's no better place to observe and learn them than "i'm insane", "I love her all the time" and "society is a hole" boards of canada - music has the right to children. the first electronic album I got into. APhex twin is a close candidate but I fell for this one first. A real ear opener (and eye opener when yr high... the first time I had that "i love you" track near the begining I was seeing a wall a rainbows light making hearts) to the field of digital music... before I didn't give it much credit/ sebadoh-III I just love this album and it made me buy a four-track. Now i make music.

umm thats a tricky one. probably some "77punk" album... like Sex Pistols: (isn't a proper album, but) "Indecent Exposure" (i heard it WAY before hearing NMTB's) or The Ramones: Leave Home or the Clash: London Calling. I know these are probably obvious, but with them, i learned that bands like Nirvana and Sonic Youth and huge legions of bands i listen to now were big fans of these bands. so they ultimately led to my present/future musical tastes..

I want to say it's not a record but a person - John Peel. But then I remembered that I bought The Fall's levitate when I was 14 or 15, and it confused and scared me like no record before. I had weird or experimental music before, but nothing that was genuinely very, very good.

Ya know Sonicl I really wanted to contribute to this but I'm still thinking about it... it's given me a real head fuck (In a fun kinda mixed up way)... I keep changing my mind.
I first started buying records in 1972 and therein lies the problem... the 70's produced so many seminal groundbreaking chunks of vinyl that my mind is permanently blown trying to figure out which one definitively changed my life. I already have Road Movies so I would have done this just for fun.

Steppenwolf Gold (Greatest Hits) - My first rock record. It moved me away from my radio induced pop-rock obsession with Elton-John when I was a kid in the mid 70's.
The Cars (their 1st album) - Snapped me out of my Led Zeppelin obsession of the my teen years. It sounded so different and new and it alerted me to the ongoing revolution in rock known as punk/new wave. The Psychedelic Furs- Talk, Talk, Talk - The wall of sound that I still love today. |

I think perhaps it might be "Oh, No! It's Devo," which I purchased on its release about the time truncated was having her umbilical cord cut. This album, while not my favorite Devo album, was my first. It opened up any number of doors to weirdness and adventurousness in music for me. I was barely 12 at the time. I was already a bug music freak, but this sort of put me on a good and obsessive path. Devo might be the only band I liked in 7th grade that I still like now.

NIRVANA - FROM THE MUDDY BANKS OF WISHKAH
nirvana, and esspecially this cd. previous to this i was a fan of creed and some other over hyped, polished bands. i was in the 5th or 6th grade and a friend who had just started to play the drums was gloating about how he could play smells like teen spirit and played it for me. i had of course heard of nirvana and the song but was in no way familiar so i downloaded it. my fluke i downloaded the version from this cd... fuhhk it blew me away, so DIRTY and RAW i could have only experienced this from a live cd. just the passion, grit and grime was so invigorating. as it turned out my sister had this cd and i listened to it over and over. at that point only the easier listening songs were appealing, songs such as lithium, breed and smells like teen spirit so i listened to those much. they just shook the house the way they rocked. eventually i downloaded the nevermind versions and i was DISSAPOINTED! they sounded terrible! how could they buther such purity? regardless i bought all 4 of nirvanas studio albums on ebay for 20 bucks after... i guess you could call that my "left turn".

We have a winner!
It was incredibly difficult choosing a favourite post on this thread. I wittled it down to three, but after that I was totally stuck, and called upon the help of my girlfriend to make the final decision. The three that reached the final shortlist were Lux Interior, Rob Instigator, and Danny Himself. Guys, all three of your writing amazed me. I was on the verge of PM-ing each of you to see if any of you wrote for a living your stuff was that good. If you don't, well you should, or failing that you should at least contribute regularly to zines or something. Anyway, as I said, the final decision as to who gets the Lee Ranaldo book went to my girlfriend. She read the three posts, clearly enjoyed them 'cause she laughed several times, and finally finally told me who she thought should get the book. And the winner is... Quote:
Danny, check yr PMs. |

May I be the first to offer Danny Himself congratulations. Couldn't have gone to a more deserving person.
Oh, and I will be appealing against the decision. |

Pookie, your entry, while it warmed the cockles of my heart, had to be disqualified on because I identified too closely with it and I felt that that may affect my impartiality as judge. The first album I ever bought with my own money was Showaddywaddy's "Red Star". Anyway, you work in a book shop. If you want the book you can probably get it for about 50p if you use your staff discount. |
