I came in here to say Funeral... In the sense that the first time I heard it I almost cried.

Now it barely affects me. Kind of lost impact.

When I heard this album for the first time I fell in love with it. It shows Radioheads evolution.

Going into this album for the first time it really hit me hard. To this day I could still relate to a lot of the lyrics.

I must've listened to DSOTM about 20 times, I still can't stand it.

Hmmm... I liked Dark Side Of The Moon better than the Wall.

Best First Time Listen though? Got to be Blood Sugar Sex Magic by the Chillies.

I can get behind that as an album I loved instantly.

While a lot of my fav bands/artists required repeated listening, here are some of the albums that I was able to instantly slip into and enjoy.

Thelonious Monk - Solo Monk
Minutemen - Double Nickels on the Dime
Soft Boys - Underwater Moonlight
Cocteau Twins - Treasure
Ozric Tentacles - Erpland
David Bowie - Aladdin Sane
Kraftwerk - Die Mensch-Maschine
Thievery Corporation - The Richest Man in Babylon
Autechre - Chiastic Slide
Iron Maiden - Powerslave
Elliott Smith - XO
Windir - Arntor
Porcupine Tree - In Absentia
The Kinks - Arthur or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire
Polvo - Today's Active Lifestyles
King Crimson - Red
Wishbone Ash - Argus
Kyuss - Welcome to Sky Valley

Great first time listens for me too!

Bonobo- Days To Come
Tom Waits- Blood Money
Zao- Parade of Chaos

Agreed here, I was pretty blown away by both.
