After waiting nearly 20 years to hear something that made me feel like that record did, I found Pearl Jam's Ten. I'd say that's a pretty nice musical evolution.

For all of the "Quadrophenia" lovers, I'm with you! This album, more than any other, made me feel connected to other people. It was just a big "hey, someone else out there feels exactly like I do!" moment in time. Kind of strange really because it's such a selfish album. Jimmy is so self absorbed, like many teenagers (not a putdown to teenagers, it's just part of life), but the music is so beautifully written and the feelings expressed are so real. God, it's glorious!!!
"I'm one... and i can see that this is me, and I will be, you'll all see I'm the one..."
it´s a bit strange, for me it´s not one album, it´s three.
my boy-friend introduced me to his music and gave me a package with
Pearl Jam - Ten
Faith No More - Angel Dust
Nirvana - Nevermind
So those three albums really changed my life. I was listening to Queen for years and then jumped into this new, crazy (to me at that point) world.
I was shocked - and I loved it.
...a pearl, turning dirt into something beautiful - e.v
My first real memory of listening to music was actually Appetite for Destruction so I have to give it props. Next I would say Ten because like many of you here, it completely opened the door to so much kickass music to come
Finally I'd say Led Zeppelin II. Turned me onto the whole classic rock scene
I those are probably the biggest ones
saw things so much clearer...

"I'd rather be with an animal." "Those that can be trusted can change their mind." "The in between is mine." "If I don't lose control, explore and not explode, a preternatural other plane with the power to maintain." "Yeh this is living." "Life is what you make it."
this album has been with me for so long and through many incarnations. it's a constant. a boy(natch) introduced me to it and throughout our relationship and a few since it's been the soundtrack to a lot of stuff, some of it illegal, in public and in private. every time i listen to it it takes me back to a very informative time in my life. it brings me both joy and sadness.
hear my name
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
i would have to say that it wasn't so much one album. i've always been a music fan since i can remember. So not so much did one thing change my life, but the way i heard and listened to music and what i look for in it. and how it has shaped the way i write my own music.
i will have to say when i heard "smells like teen spirit" for the first time ...it stunned me.....all i could say was " hey , play that track again" With a look of amazment..... I'd never heard anything like it before.
then came "TEN" .....my god .........for the first time at 16-17 years old i was looking deeper into the music and finding a bond between the lyics/music and myself. it was quite a powerfull time for me. It really shaped ALOT of how i listen to music today.
But one other moment i can't ignore was when i heard the song "Demon Cleaner" from KYUSS. something about that track just blew my mind. and has really had an impact on me and my writing.
after all these things .....music was not just music anymore.......
now it's 2006.....i havn;t heard anything that has stunned me since Lateralus.
Would have to say Nirvana Nevermind changed my life because it helped change my tastes from just rap to rock also. Then I would have to say Oasis Definitely Maybe made me the huge fan of rock and roll music that I am today. The most life changing concert for me.................Pearl Jam at Alpine Valley in 2000. That concert opened my eyes to how awesome live music is and since then I have seen many shows.

As a teen, I found myself always going back to this album. Even now at age 35 when I listen to it, all the turmoil and teen angst comes flooding back.
