I don't mind a few Metallica songs, the rest just sound the same. Master of Puppets was the only album that ever really enticed me.
Add to that I despise Lars Ulrich with a passion
Korpiklaani is the best metal band ever, all their songs are about alcohol

Exile On Main Street,

But for me, Power, Corruption & Lies and Surfer Rosa were two albums that completely changed the direction of my listening when they came out. So did Kind Of Blue now i think of it.

Hotel California
Frampton Comes Alive
Tubular Bells
Back in Black
and most Deep Purple songs

Should also add any Steely Dan album from "Can't buy a thrill" to "Gaucho" is a winner for me.

If we're talking Opeth I'd cast my vote for Blackwater Park without question.
Absolute masterpiece.

Led Zeppelin 4 is an album of great tracks, however Dark Side of the Moon is a great album and was the absolute obvious answer to the question. The Wall is as good but was not ground-breaking is the same way.

Earth Wind And Fire - "That's The Way Of The World"


I think Meatloaf's "Bat Out Of Hell" should be up there amongst "Dark Side Of The Moon" but that's just my thoughts

Had the pleasure of meeting Nick Mason and sharing his BBQ a few years ago, what a thoroughly nice chap. His daughter was quite nice too
