10 Albums That Changed My Life

- What are 10 albums that changed my life? I stumbled across this ten-day challenge where you are tasked with sharing one album a day that greatly influenced your music journey and your taste in music. I decided to take on the challenge, but approach it as a countdown here on RUclips. So I dug into my vinyl record collection to seek out the most influential albums.
These are albums that had a monumental impact on my life. I focus on some of the more formative years, from my early teens to my mid-20s... though the albums span from the mid-1960s through the early 2000s.
Vinyl Community: will you do the same? What albums changed your life? What ones had such an impact, they influenced your musical tastes from that point on?

I would love more classic recommendations!
Not only classics but in general actually...
👍
Death Cab mentioned!!!! Edit: and kings of convenience???
But seriously thanks for showing us your records! I love indie music and I feel similar to your early experience with masculinity. These bands helped show it isn't all rough and tumble, it can be introspective and soft.
Awe thanks! ☺ Yeah, Kings of Convenience is great! I finally scored Riot on an Empty Street last year...
@@AndyFenstermaker oh man what a great album! The Buildup feat. Feist is simply sublime.
I'm so glad you mentioned Perfect From Now On. It changed my life too
Glad I found this channel.
Glad to have you! Thanks for chiming in!

LOVE the diversity on your list! Misery is a Butterfly could have made mine as well; I really got into that in around 2018 or so and it helped me process some deep stuff. Falling Man resonated deeply and shook me to my core. Thanks for sharing!
This is great, thank you for sharing such impactful records in such a knowledgeable and articulate way, I'm always excited to be able to find new (to me) artists to listen to.
Awesome! Honestly, even though this is a “vinyl channel” my goal with it is to share the music I love with hopes that others who love music can hopefully discover new favorites to dig into, be it on vinyl, on CD, or even digitally. It’s all about loving music!! Thanks for stopping by!
Great video mate .Always nice to find bands i need to check out . Ten albums can dilute down to ten songs that changed your life. Love the fact you said this band lead me on to this other band . Anyway cheers mate.
I kinda perked up and thought it was funny when you mentioned Jenn Champion and her project called S. I thought "why does that sound familiar" so I went to my own personal library and yeah sure enough, I know that project when I found it back in like 2014/15 back when RUclips Music used to be Google Play Music and they would periodically do selected free songs you could add to your library and their song Vampires was one of them. I immediately liked the song and the rest of the album but didn't think much of it and now thanks to you I'm learning more about what the roots are. I never heard of Carissa's Wierd so definitely will give a listen.
You had me immediately with Siamese Dream & The Bends, 2 of the most life-changing albums for me that got me into 2 of my favorite bands, The Smashing Pumpkins & Radiohead, & also remain some of my favorite albums by those bands & in general. Melody of Certain Damaged Lemons was so nice to see here as BRH are so underrated! Again like you it was also my introduction to Blonde Redhead, another one of my favorite bands, & also like you, 23 got me further into them, being my favorite alongside Misery Is a Butterfly-both masterpieces. Sit Down for Dinner is also my favorite album of 2023 too! I also love Death Cab for Cutie-the Photo Album & We Have the Facts are my favs from them alongside Something About Airplanes-, & Built to Spill, Carissa’s Wierd, Portishead…so many albums & bands I love in your list!! You also mentioned liking other great bands such as Cursive, The Get Up Kids, Low etc. You have great taste!!
Low released my favorite album a few years ago with Hey What. Such a great record! We have a lot in common, taste wise! Thanks for checking out the vid, and can’t wait to bring you more! 🎉
great video. thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Killer video, Andy! Dig all the records that you mentioned here, and I remember being obsessed with Long Winter’s “commander thinks aloud” in the blogosphere days. Forgot about Carissa’s Weird too! Keep em coming!
Have you snagged a preorder of any of the Long Winters reissues? I snapped up the LPs but passed on the EP (all from Bandbox, though it looks like Barsuk is also reissuing with bonus demo tracks or something). Thanks for checking it out!
@@AndyFenstermakerI used to have the 06 When I Pretend to Fall release. Hadn’t spun it for a couple years and sold it for $100. Kinda regret it. Everything else was on cd-sold my collection years ago. Definitely going to check out the reissues. No-brainers if the price is right. Thanks for the heads-up
@nateschmidt8881 Bandbox is cool, but if I had known that Barsuk would reissue them with bonus content I would have gone that route instead 🤷♂️ even though those will be on black wax (to my knowledge)
The song that changed my life is you trip me up by The Jesus And Mary Chain. I was 15 and first herd it on 106.3 in NJ. At the time I was listening to typical rock. But the album that changed my life was two. Julian Cope Jahovah Kill and Spiritualized Ladies And Gentlemen We're Floating In Space. I would absolutely say are two of the best records ever made.
Oh man, I need to listen to some more JAMC, and Ladies And Gentlemen is a freaking CLASSIC!
High fidelity rules!!!
Book great!
Movie great!

Enjoyed the video, and enjoyed sharing.
Thanks for the list. You've got me not only misty with nostalgia for the late '80s and early '90s (a good time for popular music) but have prompted me to go back and revisit records by some of these bands that I either never listened to much or haven't played in a long time. I initially discovered a lot of my favorite music from scouring the musician and production credits on the backs of album/CD covers (in all genres, from jazz to pop to classical) -- and investigating other music on the same and affiliated labels is another rewarding approach: Barsuk, Sub Pop, Caroline, Kill Rock Stars, SST, IRS, Merge, Matador... (P.S. I hope you're not listening to music in that new record storage room. Lotsa echo in there!)
Actually, that’s my OLD record room! Still working on getting the new one set up and have been floored by how much BETTER it sounds!
I’m the new room, I’ve been pulling some random record from each letter alphabetically as I go to listen and it’s been a refreshing change of pace… pulling a lot of albums I love that I haven’t listened to in a bit.
@@AndyFenstermaker They say your two most important pieces of audio equipment are your brain and your room!
These 10 albums changed my life:
Abba Gold
Forever and Ever by Demis Roussos
Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) by Wu-Tang Clan
The Infamous by Mobb Deep
Discovery by Daft Punk
Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not by Arctic Monkeys
Trilogy by The Weeknd
Kiss Land by The Weeknd
Dusk to Dawn - Emancipator
DAMN. by Kendrick Lamar
Its so hard to leave out artists like Kanye, Tame Impala, Washed Out, Gesaffelstein & Scarlxrd that can genuinely alter my mood and energy.
Such variety! I love it!!! Thanks for sharing 😁
Helen Reddy greatest hits is out of this world !
wuhuuuuu!!!
Alice in chains facelift blew my mind with what epic powerful vocals can truly sound like it ( e.g. Man in the box chorus) and the self titled really showed me how you can craft beautiful music from utter desperation and catapulted my standarda for 'sad' music.
Self titled helped me coast through the worst period of my life as well, so truly life changing I suppose.
Awesome video man! ❤
So good! I loved a lot of those from Alice In Chains, but I think the one that truly got me was their MTV Unplugged session. By the time that came out, I was already a pretty die hard fan, but if I had to buy a single album today to add to my collection, that would be it. So raw and unencumbered. Thanks for the comment and for checking out the vid!
@@AndyFenstermaker Dude are you kidding me, your channel is fucking awesome and I keep discovering awesome records thanks to you - of course im tuning in. I'm the dude who mentioned Carissa's weird. Your channel will grow for sure, no doubt about it.
@SludgeMan90 awe thanks man! Super appreciate ya!
Not necessarily my favorite albums by each band but super important to my musical preferences.
Duran Duran - Rio
Catherine Wheel - Chrome
Mew - Glass Handed Kites
Jellyfish - Spilt Milk
Depeche Mode - Some Great Reward
Radiohead - Ok Computer
Silverchair - Young Modern
Talk Talk - Colour of Spring
Coyle Girelli - Love Kills
White Lies - Big TV
Oh man… that Mew album is SOOO underrated!!! That’s what I wanted to do with this list. Fold Your Hands Child is FAR from my favorite from Belle And Sebastian, but it was the first one that I really got into and it’s what led to so many impactful discoveries…
before i left Facebook i used to be an admin in pretty large postpunk and new wave group as well as being in some secret invite only music groups, i remember a trend that sort of went through the groups at one point was people listing their personal top 10 lists of their personal most important life changing albums. and i just remember looking through them all and EVERY single persons lists were just so cool, nothing but absolute classic alternative and underground staples.
and i am looking at my list, i was a poor white trash kid in Oklahoma in the 70s and 80s. i was not exposed to anything, i did not have any cool older siblings or parents, i did not have some cutting edge radio station. and i certainly was not born cool, i did nit come straight out listening to Television or something. and i am looking at my list thinking seriously, i am the ONLY person who;s list starts with a couple of huge top 40 albums. Dude i was ELEVEN when Thriller came out, i was NEVER into or that aware of music before then. no matter how much i think i know now or how much i have discovered in the last 40 years my musical journey started with the world wide smash hit Thriller by Michael Jackson. that was my introduction to music and that makes it a hugely important album in the personal journey of me. there was not a single other list that had god damn ABBA or Journey or something like that on it. give me a break.
Funny thing. The seeds was on my list.
Their self titled one? I haven’t pulled them out in a while…

Agreed!! A great list
Ya missed The Shins wincing the night
I loved your movie Supersize Me 🍔 🍟
What kind of system do you have?
Currently running on a U-Turn Audio Orbit Custom with a built-in Pre-Amp that runs to two Edifer speakers. Wouldn’t mind upgrading the speakers at some point…
Hoping to do a record room tour in the next month or so when I finish furnishing it. Definitely due for one!

Listening to albums change lives.
