I like this idea.


I start from my childhood.

The first album that changed my life was.... 

GIUSEPPE VERDI: LA TRAVIATA

Every sunday morning my father listened to this opera. It entered my ears.

I give you an example:


Amos Goldberg (professor of Genocide Studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem): Yes, it's genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion.

Didn't "change my life" but Allan Holdsworth "I.O.U." was a mind bending album. The way he played chords, like a piano, and his style was unique. Still is to this day. No one has been more innovative on guitar than Allan.

"The Inner Mounting Flame" - Mahavishnu Orchestra (1971).  I've NEVER listened to any music the same way since I heard this album.

Thank you! Big smile I'll not.

BTW, I would wish to have a more casual and less "snobbish sounding" username like "Sorcerus" instead, but already taken by another as one would expect. Not taken here perhaps, but I render my username the same in all the platforms that I'm a part of. So I'm the Archisorcerus who ever will memorise new spells and won't forget his password. Star

1005! Tongue (and don't forget your password again...)

No album really changed my life, but some have had a major influence on my music listening experience. Starting, maybe, with the Jesus Christ Superstar soundtrack when I was still a kid.
Then, in some way, 90125 by Yes. Not so much for the album itself (although I still like it very much), but it made me dive into their back catalogue from which CTTE and Relayer had that famous "Whoah"-effect on me...
In other territories I should mention Éclat by Pierre Boulez, which let me to explore a lot of contemporary and later also electronic music.

Mine (at least the most prominent one) was Bruce Dickinson's Balls to Picasso album. It was the year 1997 where I discovered that album. It is not my favourite BD solo album (3rd or 4th favourite) but it really shaped me in a way like no other.

This post will grant me my 1000th points with this account, so I wanted to share this song (see the video below). This is not one of my favourite songs off of Balls to Picasso either. But hey! Let us celebrate my unprecedentedly high (!) points! TongueLOL
