What were the top three albums of your youth, not just the 'trendy ones', but the discoveries that changed your musical tastes to this day?

Hmmm...that's tricky you know...let's see, albums that changed my 'youth'...

1.  Steeleye Span: Below the Salt
Always was a bit of a folky, but this album broke the camel's back on any resistence i might have had.  Still have the record although no player to play it on!

2.  Billy Bragg: Talking with the Taxman about Poetry
From this album came my change from a disaffected moaner to a political activist.  Cheers Bill.

3.  Frankie Goes to Hollywood: Welcome to the Pleasuredome
Because it led directly to the end of my 'youth'.

Hi

Parallel lines for me too

but then ditched pop for bashing my eardrums with AC/DC

Back in black

Let there be rock (which is quite frankly the greatest album of all time)

I'm sure I will sound like a heretic here, but music has never featured that much in my life. Books however are a completely different matter :).

Love books too, but music and sex are the real thing.

Haven't you realised yet, there is no "real thing". We're all living in the Matrix.  :o

I've been trying to think on this one, I seem to have forgotten most of it!

So, the ones which stick out are:

Queen - Greatest Hits II: We had some of the other albums, but this one got the most play.
Dire Straits - Brothers In Arms: Awesome album, still listen to it regularly now.
Alanis Morissette - Jagged Little Pill: One of the first albums I ever bought on CD!
www.pendraken.co.uk - Now home to over 10,000 products, including nearly 5000 items for 10mm wargaming, plus MDF bases, Battlescale buildings, I-94 decals, Litko Gaming Aids, Militia Miniatures, Raiden Miniatures 1/285th aircraft, Red Vectors MDF products, Vallejo paints, Tiny Tin Troops flags and much, much more!

my youth was a mix of Reggae and Ska 8) even though I was a skinhead in the 80'S  :o I wasn't very conventional liked to read and grow Cacti not your typical Skinhead I admit LOL
but main three
Hazel O'connor Breaking glass
Bob Marley any album
Madness

but my musical tastes changed a few years ago to listening to Rammstein (German industrial metal) now I have no eardrums left

Adgreed, although i actually preferred the more intimate Love Over Gold album.
