Good (old) thread!!

For me (and many others, I suspect) it was a SERIES of albums that caused us to take left turns. It's very hard to pinpoint just one album that "changed music for you". I'd like to think that music is a lifetime journey of discovery.

But, if you put a gun to my head, and force me to pick the biggest turn/realization, I would have to say......

My discovery of Dylan's Blonde On Blonde when I was 18 years old.

My friends laughed at me when I played it for them. Fuck them!!

This album changed my world view of singing, lyrics, composition, and....yes.....popular taste. It blew my world apart. My friends had to (or maybe they never did) catch up. (We are talking 1980 here. Yes, I'm old.)

Love - Forever Changes might be the album that blew me away the most, but Dylan sent me there. I swear.

How many albums can sell five million copies and yet still be called underrated?

Another starting point for my musical taste was probably a compilation album, the Triple J Hottest 100 Vol. 5. Annual music poll on an Australian alternative radio station, which in this case was the listener's favourite songs of 1997. A very fun compilation.

(But ground zero was this.)

Just got a massive rerelease, or three of them, in 2013. With Albini mix that prompted a ton of hype and praise. Several options, from 1 to 3-CD+DVD.

I wouldn’t say it’s criminally overlooked.
It’s 5x platinum in the U.S. and 15x platinum worldwide, and will probably be certified at way, way more than that next time the RIAA reviews it, what with the reissue, streaming, etc.
It’s about as overlooked as Abbey Road. Sure, people don’t talk about it every day, but it’s 26 years old.

I mean, what more do you want?

Can’t name one album definitively above others, but White Light/White Heat reprogrammed my brain for sure. Been listening to music for a long time, though, so more than one album has changed music for me.

Um....2013 was 6 years ago. :0

Let's face it....In Utero is almost an afterthought when most people talk about Nirvermind.

WHAT WOULD BE REISSUED?!

My wallet can’t afford for these things to be deluxified every goddamn 5 years.

Be happy with why you have. We waited TWENTY YEARS to hear an Albini version and we got it. The fuck more do you want?

And no, I don’t think In Utero is an afterthought. Most musically minded people acknowledge that it’s Nirvana’s masterpiece.

What else can be added to what has already been released? The 13 minute version of Scentless Apprentice was all I need from that last set.

I'm glad we are acknowledging In Utero in this thread.

I maintain that Nevermind overshadows it monumentally in most people's conversations about Nirvana.
