I'm looking for albums that've changed the way you approach music, your outlook on music, or your life in general.
This is not a "your favourite albums ever" thread - consider the thread title carefully: Albums that've changed your life. Alright?
Mine are -
Dave Brubeck Quartet - Time Out Autechre - Amber Aphex Twin - DrukQs Frank Zappa - Hot Rats, Grand Wazoo Martha Argerich - Rachmaninov's 3rd Piano Concerto / Tchaikovsky's 1st Piano Concerto
The Beatles - Abbey Road Metallica - And Justice For All Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream, MCIS The Redneck Manifesto - Cut your heart off from your head Jeru The Damaja - The Sun Rises in the East A Tribe Called Quest - Midnight Marauders Joe Pass - Virtuoso Al Di Meola - Elegant Gypsy Joni Mitchell - Blue

i'm 30, and a vinyl junky
but i'd have to say the albums that did this are the first 2 i got as a kid, Duck rock by Malcolm mclaren
Invisible silence by the Art of Noise and
later 90 by 808 state and then in 91/92 i heard pacman and Digeridoo by aphex twin :)
and the Orb also influenced me greatly,
hope this helps

Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells, Ommadawn, The Songs Of Distant Earth, Amarok (actually, all his albums with 1 or 2 exceptions)
Jarre - Oxygene, Equinoxe Dead Can Dance - Spiritchaser, Aion Cocteau Twins - Stars And Topsoil, Blue Bell Knoll Vangelis - El Greco, Blade Runner Sigur Ros - () Therion - Theli Autechre - Incunabula, EP7 Aphex twin - RDJ Album, Come to Daddy H. M. Gorecki - III Symphony Tool - Undrtow Opeth - Blackwater Park Moonspell - Irreligious Prodigy - No Good (my first ever CD) Radiohead - Amnesiac (And mysterious compilation casette: "Shape rave" borrowed from a friend back in 1996)
Every album I buy, I try to treat like a human being, so it's a process of constant change, but those are the most important without whom I'd feel somehow incomplete.

After to have listened to Envane, what can you say about Autechre? I remember that was your first ep that you listened, released by them right? I mean, do you like their music now? Which are other albums you like?
Another album I'd suggest is Confield, but it's an album that will grow with time and I can understand the fear some people are feeling during the first listening. Just give it some time.

I re-listened to untilted today, it's probably the fifth time, I believe. I can say every time I re-play autechre stuff I always discover tracks that I hadn't never appreciated or I used to skip them while I was playing an album maybe.
I think you really need to listen more stuff released by them, you're on the right way to become a fanboi :)
Try We R Are Why now, great and rare ep.

My grandfather gave me hundreds of country vinyls last year including just about everything KK did and I finally got to soak up his greatness. He instantly made the hair on my chest thicker and coarser.
Now that you mention it, Green Day- Dookie probably changed my life, too... granted it was way back in elementary but I can't say they weren't important or that I can't still enjoy most of the songs on there.

26 mixes was my first aphex/electronic album and it was awesome, but once i heard drukqs for the first time that was just insanity.
tho, after drukqs i cant really think of much electronic stuff which has. changed my life
