Not necessarily your favorite albums, but ones that changed your life.

Nirvana was a gateway for me to get into music, I owe them a lot. As a child i was always afraid of growing up and being a teenager, because I always thought teenagers were looked down upon and I certainly did not want that. After hearing Smells Like Teen Spirit I put all that behind me and I was hooked.
For a while Nirvana was the only thing I would listen to and after getting more and more interested in them they really showed me what other kind of music was out there, mainly getting me into punk and I then became more open to a lot of music, like before I would dismiss anything labeled Pop.

These guys were truly punks with a purpose. This didn't really change me musically to much (besides me getting more into some ska) but socially. Listening to there lyrics it really hit me that fighting (physically) is stupid. I really genuinely thought about how in the world we live in we have to make consequences to some actions physical pain. Not saying fighting should be stop entirely but in my eyes it's stupid how a consequence for example talking behind someones back is "Getting your ass kicked". I just think that is wrong.

Yes, I know i put a blink 182 album on this, big deal. When i first listened to this album I really liked it but was embarrassed to say I liked Blink 182. So for a while i kept it under wraps and then I really came to realize who gives a **** what other people think about my musical taste.

Brings me back to last summer staying up late outside with my friends just listening to some carefree Sublime. It really is just good times music and lots of great memories happened while listening to this album. also helped me get more into ska and reggae.

An amazing human being, Pat The Bunny goes around the world preaching anarchism. He's homeless and lives in a van fueled by the donations he receives from shows only playing acoustic. This guy really showed me you can do whatever you put your mind to.

So, I'd love to hear what albums have changed you, you don't need to put long reasons why they changed, a sentence or two will do, or maybe just a simple list.
