First time I heard the album I was living it. It's old school down and dirty rock done right. I'd love to see them support AC/DC, would be an evening to remember.

SouperComputer

I think the defining moment for me that cemented my commitment to Metal/Thrash was when I heard Master Of Puppets.

Like a lot peeps in the early 90's, Nirvana/Nevermind cought my attention, then listened to the Black Album over and over, but the first time I heard MOP on a third generation copy it blew my mind. TBH, when I listen to Battery, almost 20 years later, it still gets me going. I love the dyamics, the aggressive riffs, cliffs bass the odd and original guitar sound blah blah.


Other albums that grabbed me by the danglies and still do..........

AJFA
RTM
Adrenaline
Electric Ladyland
Black Sabbath
Beneath the Remains
Arise (first time I heard this, "almost" matched MOP, SOOOO aggressive hehehe, this tape got well used)
RATM


But, man ill never forget the feeling I got when I heard MOP the first time. I was zoned, would have loved to see the look on my then 11year old face.


Some others that grabbed me......

Peace Sells.........
Draconian (SP) Times
The Bends
Decade of Aggression
Devine Intervention
Chaos AD\Schizophrenia
Burn My Eyes
Pulse & DSOTM

ac/dc "if you want blood..."

great live album

Dero

Haha, so weird. Just as I clicked the reply button, what comes on the shuffle only Orion. Anyway...

AC/DC - If you want blood... (You've got it) Which led me towards...
Iron Maiden - Live after Death Which led me towards...
Metallica - Ride the Lightning This was the biggest single Hell Yeah album for me
Metallica - Master of Puppets Obvious, but Hell Yeah!
Metallica - ...And Justice for All The first Metallica album I got at release
Bad Religion - Recipe for Hate/Suffer/No Control/Generator/Against the Grain Great albums, and still one of my favourite bands
R.E.M.- Out of Time Losing my religion made me get it. My first real foray outside metal and I still love R.E.M. to this day
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon Cliché of the century, but hey, it blew me away
Pink Floyd - Animals The one that showed that there was more than DSotM & The Wall...
Tool - Lateralus A major WOW moment
Rory Gallagher - Irish Tour '74 My first Rory album, still listen regularly

I'm sure there's loads more, but those are the one that stand out for me as being major milestones in my listening experiences. Albums that altered the way I approached music and influenced what else I listened to.
