Album that got you into music?

I revisited music after a thirty year hiatus, back in 1985, when I heard ABBA sing Super Trooper on my car radio. What a fresh and unique sound. I got a big WOW. I missed the artist and the song. Called the radio station got the DJ, he told me and I went directly to Tower Records. I bought the Singles album.

Hey man, this thing was chockful of stuff I wasn't hearing out of Top 40 at the time when I was like, what, 8 years old? Got me hooked on pop music when my sister's santa sock had this cassette in there. Mine had a Beegees tape in it that I don't even remember the name of. Bright Eyes maybe? Who knows. I still like ABBA to this day!

Edit - oh, it was called "Living Eyes." What a dud.

Bloodsugarsexmagik by the Red Hot Chili Peppers turned a blossoming interest in music into a full-blown obsession. I spent 75% of my teenage income on CDs and, even before I could work, I spent all of my allowance on CDs once I gathered enough.

I guess you could say the album also got me to stop spending my money on candy and Samurai Showdown.

I spent about 30 minutes staring at the screen before I came to the conclusion that the one album that REALLY got me into music was "True Love" by Toots and The Maytals. When I first heard it I was 15 years old, I was staying at my sister's place and I was kinda bored. She had to go to work so I was home alone. I started raiding her CD collection and found that album, I don't know why but it cought my attention. I popped it in her cd player and was swept away by the first song. It literally cought me off guard. "Still is Still Moving to Me" (with Willy Nelson) was the title of that song. I still listen to that album a lot now.

I hereby reccomend everyone here to give this album a try, it's great

I'd say Portishead - Dummy. I can remember my brother got this when it came out and I was constantly nicking it off him.

It was completely alien to me back then since I was solely on a diet of crappy pop music with little hope of escape.

For me? Queen Greatest Hits Part II. First full album on tape when I was a nipper!

First album to REALLY get me in to music after I purchased was Moby - Play, though U2 had quite a few singles I liked. Hold me, thrill me, kiss me, kill me was ace!

I was 4 years old when my mother showed me how to spin up the Beatles White album on a Dual turntable. There was always music and musicians in my home in those days and consequently the love of music is as natural as breathing for me. The first record I ever bought with my own money was Variations by Andrew & Julian Lloyd Webber.
