Loudness: Thunder in the East. Akira Takasaki is my favorite guitarist of all time. Every time people are talking about great guitarists I always bring him up. Twisted Sister: Stay Hungry. I knew every lyric to those songs and I would use my bed as a stage and sing every song. Queensryche: Empire. Geoff Tate is my third favorite singer right behind Freddie Mercury and Elvis Presley. When I moved from Texas to Oregon it was the only CD I listened to during the whole drive. All of these and more bring back some great memories.
Great stuff here! The album that really got me into the genre was GNR's "Use Your Illusion II". I remember going to the movies to watch Terminator 2 and when I heard the song "You Could Be Mine" I thought : I have to get that! I asked my mom to buy the cassette and I was immediately hooked. Others that came in my top ten are AC/DC "The Razor's Edge", WASP "The Crimson Idol", Ozzy Osbourne "No More Tears", Jon Bon Jovi "Young Guns II".
Bon Jovi: Slippery When Wet was the album that got me into music. Absolutely love it. Gun N Roses: Use Your Illusion II was the album that showed me there was other music out there, not just Bon Jovi.
Kansas: Song For America Supertramp: Crime Of The Century Bought these two for the album covers. I was someone who liked general rock/pop/radio hits. These two albums kindled my love for prog rock, and took me away from just following what was on the radio. Kansas and Supertramp are still my two favorite artists. Steely Dan: Aja This one scratched my jazz itch while still getting some rock with it(I grew up listening to my dad constantly listening to jazz, liked it). Steely Dan is my 3rd favorite(or sometimes 4th)artist, trading places with the next artist/album. Dire Straits: Debut. I heard " Down To the Waterline " on an FM station that played album deep cuts. thought it was cool. Two days later, heard " Sultans Of Swing "...I was hooked, Dire Straits was so different than the " popular " music at the time, which appealed to me. Dire Straits is my 4th favorite(or 3rd) artist Billy Joel: The Stranger Love this one because it led me to his albums " Turnstiles " and " 52nd Street ", timeless music Styx: " Paradise Theater " My sentimental favorite Styx album, a concept album that mostly works, and led me to their excellent run of albums in the mid-70s that started with " Equinox " through " Paradise Theater " Al Stewart: " Time Passages " This one led me to " Year of The Cat ", and the rest of his catalog...interesting music, all kinds of styles, his songs based on historical events/figures are fascinating, a great story teller Jethro Tull: " Aqualung " This one led me to the Tull catalog, an endless fascination with Tull/Ian Anderson, and further down the prog rock highway. King Crimson: " In The Court Of The Crimson King " This album really confirmed that prog rock was my favorite genre, and led me to the rest of the KC catalog Boston: Debut. This album is still a constant listen for me, when I want just good, hard rock, well performed. And " Foreplay/Long Time scratches my prog itch Honorable mentions: Pink Floyd--" Dark Side Of The Moon "...which led me down the Pink Floyd catalog Heart: " Dreamboat Annie ", which led me to a lifelong enjoyment of Heart(and a lifelong crush on the Wilson sisters) ELO: A greatest hits compilation called " Ole ELO ", which led me to the rest of the ELO catalog
There was a challenge on Facebook a few years ago to list the top ten records that influenced you. 1 record 10 days in a row. What got me hooked on music was Ratt out of the cellar. Still one of the greatest in my opinion
I go a little further back I was 11 and Christmas of 76 I got Alive!, Dressed To Kill, and Rock And Roll Over! Then came Aerosmith, Ted Nugent, Rush………..etc
@@Starman2112ofKings well to be honest with you I didn't get to see them until they reunited with your original lineup and that is the kiss that I am a huge fan of not the new KISS I'm sorry to say but I saw them in Oklahoma City with Ted Nugent skid row. I really don't remember what year that was.
Kiss Alive was the first rock album I owned. Got it when it first came out and it blew my mind. I was Kiss obsessed for a couple of years afterwards though eventually branched out into the heavy hitters of the 70s such as Aerosmith, Ted Nugent, Led Zeppelin, Yes etc...
Hi Brendon Here are some of my favorite albums 1. Razamanaz - Nazareth 2. Sweet Fanny Adams - Sweet 3. Jailbreak - Thin Lizzy 4. Machine Head - Deep Purple 5. Rainbow Rising - Rainbow 6. Vol.4 - Black Sabbath 7. Rumours - Fleetwood Mac 8. A New World Record - Electric Light Orchestra 9. Let There Be Rock - AC/DC 10. Caught In The Act - Grand Funk Railroad
My very first album as a 9 year old birthday present was 'Back In Black'. From there it was Dire Straits 'Brothers In Arms' on tape (1985 xmas present), Bon Jovi 'Slippery When Wet', Van Halen '5150', Poison 'Look What The Cat Dragged In', Cinderella 'Night Songs', Def Leppard 'Hysteria', Motley Crue 'Girls, Girls, Girls' and GNR 'Appetite For Destruction'. Amongst many others. But thinking back it really was 'Slippery When Wet' as a 14 - 15 year old. Need that time machine to go back to 1986 - 1990 Brendon. Simpler times.
Top 10 Albums that changed my life: 10. Styx - Pieces of Eight 9. Van Halen - I 8. ELO - Out of the blue 7. Kiss - Rock and roll over 6. Judas Priest - Screaming for vengeance 5. Foreigner - 4 4. Journey - Escape 3. Def Leppard - Pyromania 2. Scorpions - Blackout 1. Bryan Adams - Reckless These aren't my top 10 of all time but they certainly changed my life when I first heard them.
My list is ELO Discovery, Supertramp Breakfast in América,Kiss Disnaty, Alan Parsons Project Eve, Queen The Game, Prince 1999, Bruce Springsteen Darkness to edgle Town, Bob Dylan at Budokan , Neil Young freedom e Rolling Stones Emotional Rescue
My 10 albums no order in specific . 7Th Son - Iron Maiden , Somewhere in Time - Iron Maiden , Operation Mind Crime - Queensryche , Gutter Ballet -Savatage - Keepers PT1 - Helloween , Headless cross - Black Sabbath .

Not a big jazz fusion guy, but I heard Metheny in Pittsburgh. He played the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hall in the Oakland section of Pgh. Good show!
First album my pop bought me when I was about 10 that changed my life was Motley Crue - Shout At The Devil. It was everything hair and heavy from then on out. Van Halen - 1984, ZZ Top -Eliminator, Twisted Sister - Stay Hungry, Michael Jackson - Thriller, Alice Cooper - Constrictor all had influence as well.
Another great topic! You picked some good ones. 80's metal fan here. Off the top of my head, I'd say Ratt - Out of the Cellar, Scorpions - Love at First Sting, and Def Leppard - Pyromania. I first heard these on late night 98 Rock - Baltimore on my vintage Walkman lol. Then probably Iron Maiden - Live After Death and Judas Priest - Live (Turbo era). Waxie Maxie's was our local music store. This is when I really started collecting cassettes and getting into heavier stuff. I was a bad influence too on my younger brother lol. He kept stealing my tapes!
As a teenager in '64 - '69 the albums that changed my life: Revolver - the Beatles Disraeli Gears - Cream Are You Experienced - Jimi Hendrix Experience The White Album - the Beatles Beggars Banquet - the Rolling Stones Sgt. Pepper - the Beatles Thanks.
I was 14 when Dr feelgood came.....I was already a mc fan ...but girls girls girls wasn't good except for a few songs...then comes this masterpiece...had it on cassette...man ..times flies...hi from puerto 🇵🇷 rico..
Hey Brendon , I'm 10 years older than you but my list is not so different than your list. Survivor eye of the tiger, Bon Jovi slippery , Poison look what the cat dragged , Motley Crue girls , Def Leppard hysteria, Europe final countdown, GnR appetite, Queensryche operation mindcrime, Metallica and justice for all , Megadeth countdown to extinction and the greatest of all : Led Zeppelin IV.
You were affected by a whole different set of sensibilities but I'm 37 years older than you. Of course I have and like a number of the albums you list. The only album that ever changed my reality was Yes's CLOSE TO THE EDGE. That album was an epiphany and nothing else has come close.
FRAGILE for me...then I picked up THE YES ALBUM. CTTE was a Christmas present 1973. Blew me away...Circus magazine (what we read bavk then) panned it! :-)
These are great stories Brendon. Thanks for sharing! I’ll agree with Painkiller, be it the first concert I ever seen in 1990 in the Meadowlands, as a 15 year old boy. Megadeth and Testament opened. Also agree with older friends and siblings influencing musical tastes and journeys. Keep it coming!
Glad to see Pink Floyd The division bell. It's my 3rd favourite album from the band. Poison....Mötley...Painkiller...Metal Health....we have so much things in common 🎉 As a hungarian I can offer you "Tankcsapda - Legjobb méreg". Maybe the best of the best in my country 😊
here are some of mine Brendon The Beatles-Meet The Beatles The Beatles-Sgt.Peppers Dave Clark 5-Glad All Over Cream-Fresh The Doors-Self Titled Led Zeppelin-Self Titled Uriah Heep-Look At Yourself Black Sabbath-Self Titled Iron Butterfly-In-a-godda-da-vida The Who-My Generation
Only 10...? Deep Purple - Made in Japan B. Sabbath : Sabbath Bloody Sabbath Zeppelin - II Kiss - Alive Sweet - Fanny Adams Queen - A Day at The Races Thin Lizzy - Live & Dangerous Ramones - I Iron Maiden - Iron Maiden AC/DC - If You Want Blood
I saw Twisted Sister in 84 on the Stay Hungry tour. It was an outdoor show on the Pier on the west side of Manhattan. Ratt and Lita Ford opened. It was at the peak of their popularity and the show was sort of a homecoming party for a local NY band made good. The atmosphere was electric and Dee Snider was an amazing front man. They all bust their asses to put on a memorable show. To be frank, the show they put on was far better than their music would indicate.
Faith No More - Angel Dust Neil Young - Tonight's the night Jethro Tull - Living in the past Kate Bush - The Kick Inside Deep Purple - Burn The Damned - Phantasmagoria Cardiacs - On land and in the sea Beatles - Sgt Peppers Husker Du - Zen Arcade Black Sabbath - Vol.4
I’ve not heard anything about it but wish it would get a CD release. I had heard a 2nd EP was forthcoming but nothing ever materialized. However today a new Covers album came out on CD. Tomorrow at RSD you can get the vinyl edition.
Lynyrd Skynyrd -- up to 1977 albums plus First and Last in 1978 Bad Company --- Bad Company ZZ Top ---------------Tres Hombres Molly Hatchet----- First and second albums Led Zeppelin Two America ----- Greatest Hits The Eagles Greatest Hits Volume 1 Boston 1st album Doors Greatest hits The Who, Live at Leeds --- Young Man's Blues Styx ----- Pieces of Eight Resurrection Band --- Rainbow's End
Great stuff! Here's one for me: I was in Jr. High jazz band in Colorado in 1971, and our instructor/director, Mr. Nichols, would bring in albums now and then and share music with us. I still remember being awestruck the day he brought in the debut album from Emerson, Lake & Palmer. He played "Tank" from that record, with Carl Palmer's amazing drum solo. I was already a drummer but hearing Tank gave me a new level to go for. As time went on I became obsessed with ELP, and saw the Brain Salad Surgery tour in Anaheim after we moved to California, my first concert. That album sounds like magic to me still.
Seminal records for me: Spill the Wine - Eric Burdon (45), Havin' Fun with Ernie & Bert, Steve Miller's Greatest Hits, AC/DC - Let There Be Rock, Rush - 2112, Stones - Tattoo You, Ozzy - Blizzard, Iron Maiden - Number of the Beast, REM - Life's Rich Pageant, Weezer - Blue Album, Radiohead - Kid A, White Stripes - De Stijl, Jenny Lewis - Rabbit Fur Coat.
@@jazzpunk Too funny. My oldest mix tape has all those songs on it. People Are Strange was another early 45 that I played all the time and made that mix.
Perhaps, but if they hadn’t I don’t think we’d be talking about them as much today. They reached a whole other level and found a new audience with Hysteria and what came after.
10- Hot Rocks - Rolling Stones ... 9- Ten Pearl Jam ... 8- Blood Sugar Sex Magic - RHCP ... 7- Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath ... 6- Sgt Ppper - Beatles ... 5- Hysteria - Def Leppard ... 4- Punk in Drublic - NOFX ... 3- ... and out come the wolves - Rancid ... 2- Nervermind - Nirvana ... 1- Black Album - Metallica

Trying to remember back, been so long 😁. Didn’t have older siblings, but my cousin was 6 years older. He was the biggest influence. First started with Paul McCartney, then branched from there. Also, cousin had white vinyl White Album, so I was chasing that. The one I bought was black vinyl 😟😄. As the song says, ‘Obla-Di-Obla-Da, Life Goes On’. Appreciate your content.
Hearing Dookie by Greenday when i was young, my sister owned it, but i did when she wasn't around, loved it, and still do to this day. The first band i became obsessed with at 12 was Zeppelin, i picked up the greatest hits of theirs after hearing WLL on the radio. It was Early Days & Latter Days, i have since picked up everything i could find by the band multiple times. They became my favourite band and still are 25 years later. Hearing Outshined by Soundgarden, Chris became my favourite rock vocalist. Wish you Were Here by Floyd was another album i loved & turned me into a huge fan. Hearing my mum playing & dancing around to T.Rex led me down the Bolan rabbit hole with great albums like Electric Warrior & Slider, such an imaginative lyricist. Hearing Shakin hands with the Holy Ghost by Blackberry Smoke on planet rock led me to my favourite modern band, seen them a few times, such a tight outfit who play snippets of theirs & my favourite older bands like sabbath & zep during their live gigs, their album Whipporwill is my favourite, great writing, excellent delivery. It's funny thinking about listening to that album years back as i walked my dog in the evenings , makes me happy & sad at the same time, happy that my dog is still here but sad that i can't walk anymore. Thanks for sharing your picks Brendon, have been enjoying the lists you have been posting the last few days. It has sparked listening ideas, keep em coming.
Wow...thank you for this comment Joe. I'm listening to Cosmic Dancer now from the album Electric Warrior, and read your words about not being able to walk right as the lyrics ' I was dancing since I was 8' popped up, followed by 'I danced myself into the tomb.' It can get so easy to be overwhelmed by the simple, small things, at the same time, those things can feel like the entire world. I'm so happy your dog is still with you. The passage of time is a bittersweet tea. I'll continue to check out the songs from your comment. But seriously, your comment reminded me to sing while I can, run while I can, dance while I can, no matter what anyone says, because no matter what, the next chapter will come.
Mother love bone…Apple Nirvana…Nevermind Aerosmith…Rocks Journey…Frontiers Alice in chains…Dirt Soundgarden..Badmotorfinger KISS..Alive 2 Pearl Jam…Ten Faith no more….Angel dust
1. Ratt - out of the cellar 2. Savatage - power of the night 3. Def leppard - high n dry 4. Cinderella - night songs 5. Poison - look what the cat 6. Ratt - invasion of privacy 7. Ratt - dancing undercover 8. Warrant - dirty rotten filthy 9. Wild side - under the influence 10. Motley crue - too fast for love
Aic - dirt Pj- ten Metallica- ride the lightning Megadeth- peace sells Sabbath - self titled Sabbath- paranoid Sabbath - vol 4 Sabbath - master of reality Maiden- the number of the beast Linkin park- meteroa Megadeth- rust in peace
My 10 albums in no particular order: Led Zeppelin IV KISS: Alive Motley Crue: Girls, Girls, Girls Nirvana: Nevermind King's X: Dogman Metallica: Black Album Aerosmith: Permanent Vacation ZZ Top: Eliminator The Clash: ST Tom Petty: Full Moon Fever
AC/DC "Back In Black" Rush "Moving Pictures" and Van Halen "Fair Warning" were game changers. I can understand most of your choices, but for me, Motley Crue's "Dr Feelgood" was total crap, compared to their first four albums. I also absolutely hated anything from Poison. The Crue's "Without You" made me cringe. I sort of agree with most of your other picks. Whitesnake in 1987 to Guns N Roses ruling 1988 shifted arena rock to a more punk driven direction, La Guns, Britny Fox and Faster Pussycat. Judas Priest's "Painkiller" was a heavy return to form for that band at the time. It surprised all my peers. I dig so many bands from the era, Great White, Dokken, Cinderella, Ratt, Triumph....the list is endless.
Good to see your choices. My list would be : Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon Dire Straits - eponymus Supertramp - Crime of the Century Neutral Milk Hotel - In the aeroplane over the sea Sufjan Stevens - Illinois Slint - Spiderland Gang of Four - Entertainment! The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper´s Waterboys - This is the Sea Peter Murphy - Deep King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King Roger Waters - Amused to death Marillion - Misplaced Childhood Dire Straits - Communiqué Pink Floyd - Animals XTC - Drums and wires Genesis - Selling England by the pound Supertramp - Crisis? What Crisis? Eels - Beautiful Freak Television - Marquee Moon The Chameleons - Script of the bridge The Smiths - The Queen is dead Steely Dan - Aja Keith Jarrett- Koln Concert
The Angels - No Exit Dire Straits - Making Movies Ozzy Osbourne - Bark At The Moon Accept - Balls To The Wall Motley Crue - Shout At The Devil AC/DC - Fly On The Wall Metallica - Ride The Lightning Megadeth - So Far, So Good, So What The Cure - Disintegration The Pixies - Doolittle
I'm 45 years old, and I still regularly listen to those wonderful hard rock CDs that indelibly marked my years between 1989 and 1992, wonderful years, we were lucky enough to experience them when we were teenagers. Now we are over forty, but our thoughts are always turned to those years. Maximum respect from me, from a completely different part of the world.
I'm in my 20's and I'm already nostalgic for the music I listened to 5 years ago, 10 years ago, it's so much more meaningful to me now. I can't imagine what another 20 years of marinating on music that means everything to me will do, especially now that I'm graduated and have disposable income to discover new artists in person (streaming is fantastic and I'm very grateful for it, I'm sure most people in their 40s wish they had their artists so readily available back then!!) But as I'm sure you know, nothing in the world beats hearing it live, or secondarily, listening to it on disc vs a compressed stream.
Mine would be - (10) Slippery When Wet - Bon Jovi (9) Reign in Blood - Slayer (8) Heaven And Hell - Black Sabbath (7) The Joshua Tree - U2 (6) Operation Mindcrime - Queensryche (5) Back in Black - AC/DC (4) Hysteria - Def Leppard (3) Greatest Hits - Queen (2) The Number of the Beast - Iron Maiden (1) The Wall - Pink Floyd
I'm showing my age, but mine would be: Jefferson Airplane, Surrealistic Pillow; Paul McCartney, Ram; David Bowie, Alladin Sane; Queen, first album; Blue Oyster Cult, Agents of Fortune; Black Sabbath, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath; A Flock of Seagulls, Story of a Young Heart; Led Zeppelin, Physical Graffiti; Aerosmith, Get Your Wings; Ministry, Filth Pig.
Kiss - Alive! Bachman Turner Overdrive - Not Fragile Nazareth - Hair of the Dog Aerosmith - Rocks AC/DC - Highway to Hell Alice Cooper - Welcome to My Nightmare April Wine - Stand Back Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road Iron Maiden - Killers Sweet - Give Us a Wink Judas Priest - Hell Bent for Leather Max Webster - A Million Vacations Metallica - Ride the Lightening Triumph - In the Beginning Accept - Restless and Wild Megadeth - Peace Sells, But Who's Buying Sorry, I couldn't stop at 10.
Cool video Brendon. First, I'm probably one of those older brothers everyone is talking about. So ten albums that changed my perceptions of music were, in no particular order, Sgt. Pepper-The Beatles, Are You Experienced -Jimi Hendrix Experience, Wheels of Fire-Cream, In the Court of the Crimson King-King Crimson, In Rock-Deep Purple, Black Sabbath-First Album, Led Zeppelin II, Tommy-The Who, Blonde On Blonde-Bob Dylan and Exile On Main Street-The Rolling Stones.
Theater of Pain from Motley Crue got me started followed by Shout at the Devil. Then in 1988 ….And Justice For All by Metallica change the game for me forever.
I didn't see the Burn In Hell video and eventually Pee Wee's Big Adventure Movie until I was an adult. Doctor Feelgood I got in cassette in 1991 at age 12. Classic Album!!! I also grew up with Hysteria, Stay Hungry, Metal Health, and Poison's hit songs. GNR AFD was my first hard rock/metal album at age 12-1991.
10 albums changed my life 1. New Jersey Bon jovi 2 rumours Fleetwood Mac 3. Thunder backstreet symphony 4.poison flesh and blood 5. The kinks everybody’ in show business 6. The cult sonic temple 7. Stevie nicks wild heart 8. The black crowes shake your moneymaker 9, heart bad animals 10. The almighty soul destruction
my top 10 change my life albums are: Eight Arms to Hold You - Veruca Salt (the only grunge band I like. This and Heart are my two fav female rock bands) Slippery When Wet - Bon Jovi (turned me into a hardcore Bon Jovi fan for about 10 years) Triumph of Steel - Manowar (introduced me to power metal) Leftoverture - Kansas (incredible musical journey) Passion and Warfare - Steve Vai (guitar on a whole new level) Whitesnake - Whitesnake (hardcore awesome! Been a coverdale fan ever since) Jesus Christ Superstar - Andrew Lloyd Webber (the ultimate rock opera) Warriors of the World - Manowar (made me a hardcore Metal warrior) KISS Alive - KISS (inspired me to learn to read and play music, percussion/drum set) Destroyer - KISS (the album that got me into KISS and hard rock. Without this one, I'd still be listening to Donny Osmond and Sean Cassidy)
Great video. Thanks for sharing! I have a few of those as well. I remember hearing Queen "love of my life" from Live Killers when I was 8 or 9 or so. Or the first time I heard Rage Against The Machine. Hendrix's Are You Experienced... I should really make my own list ;-)
3 albums for me 76' - 79'. Thin Lizzy Jailbreak, UFO Lights Out, Judas Priest Hell Bent for Leather. Borrowed all of them from my older brother when they were released. Still thank him to this day for being a music nut with a job 😅
Great list and it's just a reminder that everyone's taste is so different. Age might play a part in this, not sure Here is mine in order of when I discovered them... Kiss - Rock and Roll Over ( 1976) Deep Purple - Machine Head (1978) Black Sabbath - Master of Reality ( 1978) The Doors - Strange Days (1983) The Beatles - White Album (.1983) Metallica -.Kill'em All ( 1983) Bathory - The Return of the Darkness and Evil ( 1985) Iron Butterfly -.Ball ( 1988) Jefferson Airplane - Crown of Creation ( 1989) Love - Forever Changes ( 2001) Also , just wanted to Stay Hungry has also always had a special place in my heart. I remember playing the crap outta that album back in the day. Saw them on that tour ,thought they were awesome! Love pretty much all their output but Stay Hungry might be my favorite.
Oh of course age, what era you grow up in, who your friends were, if you have siblings…there are lots of influences that come into play. But that’s why I preferences the video with “My” because the list is unique to me. I almost added a Doors album to mine except the one that changed my live was the 2 CD Best Of and I wanted to include actual album over original material. Another Greatest Hits that changed my life was Journey’s but again I opted for Frontiers instead. I considered Led Zeppelin’s IV because that blew my mind at the time but I now find it so overplayed that I can’t enjoy it the same way. But yes, it’s all personal preference in the end.
@@BrendonSnyder Its been frustrating watching some of these videos ( not yours) where ultimately someone isn't able to accept another's opinion and you are right, there are a lot of things at play when it comes to musical taste. I didn't think of Led Zeppelin IV . That was another album that made a huge impact on me. Love your videos :). Have a great day!
Nice video! Good picks! Can’t say I dislike any of those except for pink Floyd,not a huge fan of them. I am curious, are your brothers collectors also? What do they think of your insane collection?
Great idea for a video. Way to share. It's funny that you took a photo of the CDs together. I did that with my top 10 of all time. A lot of Ozzy, Motley Crue, Ratt and Def Leppard in there. My island albums.
My first album I bought with my own $$$ was Reo Speedwagon Hi Infidelity in 1980. I mowed grass and did chores around the house to earn the money......then the first day I got it, I took it down to a friends house to show him and was holding the record sideways and it rolled out of the sleeve and onto the concrete and broke.....lol.
Fantastic canal. I love your eclectic taste of rock music. Division Bell, Afterburner, Painkiller and Apetite has similar influence on my youth. Probably some reason for my way too big CD collection. I miss The old conversations in The Music Stores that you remind me of. Do you have a video of The albums that you would bring on a desert island ?
I'm probably 25ish yrs older than you loved zzz top in 70s my 20 yr old self loved the Monkees later Aerosmith biggest was Alice Cooper saw him in 73 loved grand funk railroad as far as the 80s loved culture club loved Duran Duran the police also 70s deep purple met Peter Frampton back in 80 sounds silly on this channel I I loved what they called yatch rock loved the Doobie brothers loved journey cheap trick or course 60s rockers Motown met def Leppard back in 2005 the autographed my tee shirt wasnta huge hair metal 80s fan much girls girls girls cherry pie could skip my har band is always David Lee Roth van halen era sweet was another one
oh man I was in grade 11 in 1985. I was introduced from an older brother to The Cars, Boston, Pink Floyd. I still think the Cars debut is one of the greatest debut albums ever
awesome video. my mom was the one who got me into metal. My cousin was big into Bon Jovi and I wanted to be in metal too but I didn't want to copy him. Being a Christian, my mom told me about this metal band known as Stryper. So I went to mall with my mom and bought To Hell With the Devil and that lead me to the metal fan I am today!! now my mom regrets it, because that lead to guns n roses, poison and even Metallica lol.
Kiss dynasty, black sabbath paranoid, dio sacred heart, Metallica ride the lightning, guns n roses appetite for destruction, def Leppard hysteria, iron maiden the number of the beast, pink Floyd the wall, led zeppelin 1, deep purple in rock.
I like the debut Look What Cat Dragged In and the third Flesh and Blood way better than Open Up . Not a Beau Hill producer fan , listen to the live record , songs have way more punch
Loudness: Thunder in the East. Akira Takasaki is my favorite guitarist of all time. Every time people are talking about great guitarists I always bring him up.
Twisted Sister: Stay Hungry. I knew every lyric to those songs and I would use my bed as a stage and sing every song.
Queensryche: Empire. Geoff Tate is my third favorite singer right behind Freddie Mercury and Elvis Presley. When I moved from Texas to Oregon it was the only CD I listened to during the whole drive. All of these and more bring back some great memories.
Great stuff here! The album that really got me into the genre was GNR's "Use Your Illusion II". I remember going to the movies to watch Terminator 2 and when I heard the song "You Could Be Mine" I thought : I have to get that! I asked my mom to buy the cassette and I was immediately hooked. Others that came in my top ten are AC/DC "The Razor's Edge", WASP "The Crimson Idol", Ozzy Osbourne "No More Tears", Jon Bon Jovi "Young Guns II".
Needa do something about that carpet Brendan
No I’m good, but thanks for your concern 😂
I'm only 18 years old and love the metal/rock music that you grow up with.🤩🤘
That’s so cool! 🤘
Same. I’m 29 years old and love this music. 🤘🏾
I had Dr. Feelgood and Hysteria on cassette. Those were huge for me . Sweet memories
Yes they’re full of good memories!
For me its Poison Flesh n Blood,Def Leppard Hysteria,Motley Crue Decade Of Decadence and Nirvana Nevermind
Bon Jovi: Slippery When Wet was the album that got me into music. Absolutely love it.
Gun N Roses: Use Your Illusion II was the album that showed me there was other music out there, not just Bon Jovi.
My gateway "Drug" to Rock was KISS "Destroyer"! The first album I bought with my own money in 1976, I was 12 years old. 😉
Classic album to have started with!
I think a lot of us have our older brothers to thank for getting us into great music.
I'm the oldest, but my older cousin would count as an brother!....Ratt Out of the Cellar. 😀
Kansas: Song For America
Supertramp: Crime Of The Century
Bought these two for the album covers. I was someone who liked general rock/pop/radio hits. These two albums kindled my love for prog rock, and took me away from just following what was on the radio. Kansas and Supertramp are still my two favorite artists.
Steely Dan: Aja
This one scratched my jazz itch while still getting some rock with it(I grew up listening to my dad constantly listening to jazz, liked it). Steely Dan is my 3rd favorite(or sometimes 4th)artist, trading places with the next artist/album.
Dire Straits: Debut.
I heard " Down To the Waterline " on an FM station that played album deep cuts. thought it was cool. Two days later, heard " Sultans Of Swing "...I was hooked, Dire Straits was so different than the " popular " music at the time, which appealed to me. Dire Straits is my 4th favorite(or 3rd) artist
Billy Joel: The Stranger
Love this one because it led me to his albums " Turnstiles " and " 52nd Street ", timeless music
Styx: " Paradise Theater "
My sentimental favorite Styx album, a concept album that mostly works, and led me to their excellent run of albums in the mid-70s that started with " Equinox " through " Paradise Theater "
Al Stewart: " Time Passages " This one led me to " Year of The Cat ", and the rest of his catalog...interesting music, all kinds of styles, his songs based on historical events/figures are fascinating, a great story teller
Jethro Tull: " Aqualung " This one led me to the Tull catalog, an endless fascination with Tull/Ian Anderson, and further down the prog rock highway.
King Crimson: " In The Court Of The Crimson King " This album really confirmed that prog rock was my favorite genre, and led me to the rest of the KC catalog
Boston: Debut. This album is still a constant listen for me, when I want just good, hard rock, well performed. And " Foreplay/Long Time scratches my prog itch
Honorable mentions:
Pink Floyd--" Dark Side Of The Moon "...which led me down the Pink Floyd catalog
Heart: " Dreamboat Annie ", which led me to a lifelong enjoyment of Heart(and a lifelong crush on the Wilson sisters)
ELO: A greatest hits compilation called " Ole ELO ", which led me to the rest of the ELO catalog
There was a challenge on Facebook a few years ago to list the top ten records that influenced you. 1 record 10 days in a row. What got me hooked on music was Ratt out of the cellar. Still one of the greatest in my opinion
The album that changed my life was KISS love Gun.. Got it in 1977 when i was 11 years old... That album made me the metal fan i am today...
My love for metal started very similar with Rock and Roll Over. Kiss were a game changer if you were a teen ( or preteen in my case) in the 70s
I go a little further back I was 11 and Christmas of 76 I got Alive!, Dressed To Kill, and Rock And Roll Over! Then came Aerosmith, Ted Nugent, Rush………..etc
In 1977 I was 6 years old.. I'm a huge kiss fan.
@@madmaxx3573 what was your first year/tour you got to see
@@Starman2112ofKings well to be honest with you I didn't get to see them until they reunited with your original lineup and that is the kiss that I am a huge fan of not the new KISS I'm sorry to say but I saw them in Oklahoma City with Ted Nugent skid row. I really don't remember what year that was.
Kiss Alive was the first rock album I owned. Got it when it first came out and it blew my mind. I was Kiss obsessed for a couple of years afterwards though eventually branched out into the heavy hitters of the 70s such as Aerosmith, Ted Nugent, Led Zeppelin, Yes etc...
Nice to start with the classics!

But thinking back it really was 'Slippery When Wet' as a 14 - 15 year old.

Pat Metheny 👍
Not a big jazz fusion guy, but I heard Metheny in Pittsburgh. He played the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hall in the Oakland section of Pgh. Good show!
First album my pop bought me when I was about 10 that changed my life was Motley Crue - Shout At The Devil. It was everything hair and heavy from then on out. Van Halen - 1984, ZZ Top -Eliminator, Twisted Sister - Stay Hungry, Michael Jackson - Thriller, Alice Cooper - Constrictor all had influence as well.
Another great topic! You picked some good ones. 80's metal fan here. Off the top of my head, I'd say Ratt - Out of the Cellar, Scorpions - Love at First Sting, and Def Leppard - Pyromania. I first heard these on late night 98 Rock - Baltimore on my vintage Walkman lol. Then probably Iron Maiden - Live After Death and Judas Priest - Live (Turbo era). Waxie Maxie's was our local music store. This is when I really started collecting cassettes and getting into heavier stuff. I was a bad influence too on my younger brother lol. He kept stealing my tapes!
As a teenager in '64 - '69 the albums that changed my life:
Revolver - the Beatles
Disraeli Gears - Cream
Are You Experienced - Jimi Hendrix Experience
The White Album - the Beatles
Beggars Banquet - the Rolling Stones
Sgt. Pepper - the Beatles
Thanks.
A bunch of cool selections! Had I ground up then, I could easily see those being on my list too.
@@BrendonSnyder Thanks ! I turned 18 in 1969, 71 now. An amazing time to be a teen. Music-wise.
Never a dull moment.
I was 14 when Dr feelgood came.....I was already a mc fan ...but girls girls girls wasn't good except for a few songs...then comes this masterpiece...had it on cassette...man ..times flies...hi from puerto 🇵🇷 rico..
Hey Brendon , I'm 10 years older than you but my list is not so different than your list.
Survivor eye of the tiger, Bon Jovi slippery , Poison look what the cat dragged , Motley Crue girls , Def Leppard hysteria, Europe final countdown, GnR appetite, Queensryche operation mindcrime, Metallica and justice for all , Megadeth countdown to extinction and the greatest of all : Led Zeppelin IV.
Both Led Zeppelin IV and Europe’s The Final Countdown were part of the initial list for me. So many great albums that had a big impact on me.
You were affected by a whole different set of sensibilities but I'm 37 years older than you. Of course I have and like a number of the albums you list.
The only album that ever changed my reality was Yes's CLOSE TO THE EDGE. That album was an epiphany and nothing else has come close.
FRAGILE for me...then I picked up THE YES ALBUM. CTTE was a Christmas present 1973. Blew me away...Circus magazine (what we read bavk then) panned it! :-)
@@jazzpunk I know Yes is in the twilight, but I have a monstrously huge of them and side projects, etc.
These are great stories Brendon. Thanks for sharing! I’ll agree with Painkiller, be it the first concert I ever seen in 1990 in the Meadowlands, as a 15 year old boy. Megadeth and Testament opened. Also agree with older friends and siblings influencing musical tastes and journeys. Keep it coming!
Paranoid and Grand Funk Railroad’s Closer to Home. My first two vinyls and showing my age.
That’s a great start for a collection!
Glad to see Pink Floyd The division bell. It's my 3rd favourite album from the band.
Poison....Mötley...Painkiller...Metal Health....we have so much things in common 🎉
As a hungarian I can offer you "Tankcsapda - Legjobb méreg". Maybe the best of the best in my country 😊
Cool! 👍
here are some of mine Brendon
The Beatles-Meet The Beatles
The Beatles-Sgt.Peppers
Dave Clark 5-Glad All Over
Cream-Fresh
The Doors-Self Titled
Led Zeppelin-Self Titled
Uriah Heep-Look At Yourself

B. Sabbath : Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
Zeppelin - II
Kiss - Alive
Sweet - Fanny Adams
Queen - A Day at The Races
Thin Lizzy - Live & Dangerous
Ramones - I

That’s what makes it hard!
Pyromania. Picked up a guitar the minute I saw photograph video. I’ve been teaching kids guitar since 98. Thank u Def Leppard and Mom!
That’s an awesome way to have started! And what a great song. I bet it started a million bands!
Great topic! My favorite video of yours 👌🏻 Regards
Thanks! I’m glad to hear you enjoyed it!
Appetite for destruction corrupted the hell outta me at 12 years old. Still one of my favorite albums.
It’s my favorite rock album
I saw Twisted Sister in 84 on the Stay Hungry tour. It was an outdoor show on the Pier on the west side of Manhattan. Ratt and Lita Ford opened. It was at the peak of their popularity and the show was sort of a homecoming party for a local NY band made good. The atmosphere was electric and Dee Snider was an amazing front man. They all bust their asses to put on a memorable show. To be frank, the show they put on was far better than their music would indicate.
Sounds like it was a great show
Faith No More - Angel Dust
Neil Young - Tonight's the night
Jethro Tull - Living in the past
Kate Bush - The Kick Inside
Deep Purple - Burn
The Damned - Phantasmagoria
Cardiacs - On land and in the sea
Beatles - Sgt Peppers
Husker Du - Zen Arcade
Black Sabbath - Vol.4
Great channel. Brilliant story of your best albums. The first Judas Priest album I bought was Painkiller. Played it to death.
What a great album to start with!!
Hey Brendon, you you know if the Eddie money release of brand new day will ever be released on cd and vinyl?
I’ve not heard anything about it but wish it would get a CD release. I had heard a 2nd EP was forthcoming but nothing ever materialized. However today a new Covers album came out on CD. Tomorrow at RSD you can get the vinyl edition.
The record stores you go to are great where I live there no good record stores you know I like cd better than records
Sorry to hear that. I hope you find some new ones.
Lynyrd Skynyrd -- up to 1977 albums plus First and Last in 1978
Bad Company --- Bad Company
ZZ Top ---------------Tres Hombres
Molly Hatchet----- First and second albums
Led Zeppelin Two
America ----- Greatest Hits
The Eagles Greatest Hits Volume 1
Boston 1st album
Doors Greatest hits
The Who, Live at Leeds --- Young Man's Blues
Styx ----- Pieces of Eight
Resurrection Band --- Rainbow's End
Good to see Painkiller on your list. It was considered by most at the time as a comeback album for them
Great stuff! Here's one for me: I was in Jr. High jazz band in Colorado in 1971, and our instructor/director, Mr. Nichols, would bring in albums now and then and share music with us. I still remember being awestruck the day he brought in the debut album from Emerson, Lake & Palmer. He played "Tank" from that record, with Carl Palmer's amazing drum solo. I was already a drummer but hearing Tank gave me a new level to go for. As time went on I became obsessed with ELP, and saw the Brain Salad Surgery tour in Anaheim after we moved to California, my first concert. That album sounds like magic to me still.
Foreigner's first album, Van Halen 1, Back in Black are the three that started me down the path.
Seminal records for me: Spill the Wine - Eric Burdon (45), Havin' Fun with Ernie & Bert, Steve Miller's Greatest Hits, AC/DC - Let There Be Rock, Rush - 2112, Stones - Tattoo You, Ozzy - Blizzard, Iron Maiden - Number of the Beast, REM - Life's Rich Pageant, Weezer - Blue Album, Radiohead - Kid A, White Stripes - De Stijl, Jenny Lewis - Rabbit Fur Coat.
"Spill The Wine" was an early 45 for me..."Light My Fire", "Lola" were a couple others.
@@jazzpunk Too funny. My oldest mix tape has all those songs on it. People Are Strange was another early 45 that I played all the time and made that mix.
Def Leppard moved away too far from their hard rock roots after Pyromania IMO
Perhaps, but if they hadn’t I don’t think we’d be talking about them as much today. They reached a whole other level and found a new audience with Hysteria and what came after.
10- Hot Rocks - Rolling Stones ... 9- Ten Pearl Jam ... 8- Blood Sugar Sex Magic - RHCP ... 7- Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath ... 6- Sgt Ppper - Beatles ... 5- Hysteria - Def Leppard ... 4- Punk in Drublic - NOFX ... 3- ... and out come the wolves - Rancid ... 2- Nervermind - Nirvana ... 1- Black Album - Metallica

👍
My #1 life changer is The Beatles White Album. Middle Schooler in the early 1980’s. First Beatles album I bought, never looked back from there.
Great album to start with. What made you start with the White album?
Trying to remember back, been so long 😁. Didn’t have older siblings, but my cousin was 6 years older. He was the biggest influence. First started with Paul McCartney, then branched from there. Also, cousin had white vinyl White Album, so I was chasing that. The one I bought was black vinyl 😟😄. As the song says, ‘Obla-Di-Obla-Da, Life Goes On’. Appreciate your content.
Quiet Riot Metal Health 🤘.....O.K. Let's see how good you really are, Who is wearing the iconic mask on the album cover ?
Hearing Dookie by Greenday when i was young, my sister owned it, but i did when she wasn't around, loved it, and still do to this day. The first band i became obsessed with at 12 was Zeppelin, i picked up the greatest hits of theirs after hearing WLL on the radio. It was Early Days & Latter Days, i have since picked up everything i could find by the band multiple times. They became my favourite band and still are 25 years later. Hearing Outshined by Soundgarden, Chris became my favourite rock vocalist. Wish you Were Here by Floyd was another album i loved & turned me into a huge fan. Hearing my mum playing & dancing around to T.Rex led me down the Bolan rabbit hole with great albums like Electric Warrior & Slider, such an imaginative lyricist. Hearing Shakin hands with the Holy Ghost by Blackberry Smoke on planet rock led me to my favourite modern band, seen them a few times, such a tight outfit who play snippets of theirs & my favourite older bands like sabbath & zep during their live gigs, their album Whipporwill is my favourite, great writing, excellent delivery. It's funny thinking about listening to that album years back as i walked my dog in the evenings , makes me happy & sad at the same time, happy that my dog is still here but sad that i can't walk anymore. Thanks for sharing your picks Brendon, have been enjoying the lists you have been posting the last few days. It has sparked listening ideas, keep em coming.
Wow...thank you for this comment Joe. I'm listening to Cosmic Dancer now from the album Electric Warrior, and read your words about not being able to walk right as the lyrics ' I was dancing since I was 8' popped up, followed by 'I danced myself into the tomb.' It can get so easy to be overwhelmed by the simple, small things, at the same time, those things can feel like the entire world. I'm so happy your dog is still with you. The passage of time is a bittersweet tea. I'll continue to check out the songs from your comment.
But seriously, your comment reminded me to sing while I can, run while I can, dance while I can, no matter what anyone says, because no matter what, the next chapter will come.
@It'sMickey! Thank you, i hope you enjoy your days, that they are filled with awesome music & cheer.
Mother love bone…Apple
Nirvana…Nevermind
Aerosmith…Rocks
Journey…Frontiers
Alice in chains…Dirt
Soundgarden..Badmotorfinger
KISS..Alive 2
Pearl Jam…Ten
Faith no more….Angel dust
Love hysteria but I've always loved the follow up Adrenalize that I enjoy more
1. Ratt - out of the cellar
2. Savatage - power of the night
3. Def leppard - high n dry
4. Cinderella - night songs
5. Poison - look what the cat
6. Ratt - invasion of
privacy
7. Ratt - dancing undercover
8. Warrant - dirty rotten filthy
9. Wild side - under the influence
10. Motley crue - too fast for love
Great stuff! My favorite album was Master of Puppets by Metalica. Thanks to my older brothers.
Maiden the number of the beast (run to the hills) ,Judas painkiller, king diamond fatal portrait, stratovarius episode ,helloween, walls of Jericho
Aic - dirt
Pj- ten
Metallica- ride the lightning
Megadeth- peace sells
Sabbath - self titled
Sabbath- paranoid
Sabbath - vol 4
Sabbath - master of reality
Maiden- the number of the beast
Linkin park- meteroa
Megadeth- rust in peace
My 10 albums in no particular order:
Led Zeppelin IV
KISS: Alive
Motley Crue: Girls, Girls, Girls
Nirvana: Nevermind
King's X: Dogman
Metallica: Black Album
Aerosmith: Permanent Vacation
ZZ Top: Eliminator
The Clash: ST
Tom Petty: Full Moon Fever
AC/DC "Back In Black" Rush "Moving Pictures" and Van Halen "Fair Warning" were game changers. I can understand most of your choices, but for me, Motley Crue's "Dr Feelgood" was total crap, compared to their first four albums. I also absolutely hated anything from Poison. The Crue's "Without You" made me cringe. I sort of agree with most of your other picks. Whitesnake in 1987 to Guns N Roses ruling 1988 shifted arena rock to a more punk driven direction, La Guns, Britny Fox and Faster Pussycat. Judas Priest's "Painkiller" was a heavy return to form for that band at the time. It surprised all my peers. I dig so many bands from the era, Great White, Dokken, Cinderella, Ratt, Triumph....the list is endless.
Interesting video but can't share any of those...thanks.

Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon

Brendon, aren't you worried about dropping those CDs you were holding in the thumbnail? How do you do it?
One album for me that changed my life is Aerosmiths Pump. Van Halen 1 for starters
I'm 45 years old, and I still regularly listen to those wonderful hard rock CDs that indelibly marked my years between 1989 and 1992, wonderful years, we were lucky enough to experience them when we were teenagers.
Now we are over forty, but our thoughts are always turned to those years.
Maximum respect from me, from a completely different part of the world.
I'm in my 20's and I'm already nostalgic for the music I listened to 5 years ago, 10 years ago, it's so much more meaningful to me now. I can't imagine what another 20 years of marinating on music that means everything to me will do, especially now that I'm graduated and have disposable income to discover new artists in person (streaming is fantastic and I'm very grateful for it, I'm sure most people in their 40s wish they had their artists so readily available back then!!) But as I'm sure you know, nothing in the world beats hearing it live, or secondarily, listening to it on disc vs a compressed stream.
Mine would be -
(10) Slippery When Wet - Bon Jovi
(9) Reign in Blood - Slayer
(8) Heaven And Hell - Black Sabbath
(7) The Joshua Tree - U2
(6) Operation Mindcrime - Queensryche
(5) Back in Black - AC/DC
(4) Hysteria - Def Leppard
(3) Greatest Hits - Queen
(2) The Number of the Beast - Iron Maiden
(1) The Wall - Pink Floyd
I'm showing my age, but mine would be: Jefferson Airplane, Surrealistic Pillow; Paul McCartney, Ram; David Bowie, Alladin Sane; Queen, first album; Blue Oyster Cult, Agents of Fortune; Black Sabbath, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath; A Flock of Seagulls, Story of a Young Heart; Led Zeppelin, Physical Graffiti; Aerosmith, Get Your Wings; Ministry, Filth Pig.
MY BROTHER WOULD BRING HOME AROUND 20 ALBUMS A WEEK.
THEY HAD EXCHANGE CLUB.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO HEAR UNKNOWN STUFF?
You are lucky with these cool brothers who opened so many musical horizons for you.
Agree. I thank God I had cool cousins & uncles!
Kiss - Alive!
Bachman Turner Overdrive - Not Fragile
Nazareth - Hair of the Dog
Aerosmith - Rocks
AC/DC - Highway to Hell
Alice Cooper - Welcome to My Nightmare
April Wine - Stand Back
Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath
Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
Iron Maiden - Killers
Sweet - Give Us a Wink
Judas Priest - Hell Bent for Leather
Max Webster - A Million Vacations
Metallica - Ride the Lightening
Triumph - In the Beginning
Accept - Restless and Wild
Megadeth - Peace Sells, But Who's Buying
Sorry, I couldn't stop at 10.
Cool video Brendon. First, I'm probably one of those older brothers everyone is talking about. So ten albums that changed my perceptions of music were, in no particular order, Sgt. Pepper-The Beatles, Are You Experienced -Jimi Hendrix Experience, Wheels of Fire-Cream, In the Court of the Crimson King-King Crimson, In Rock-Deep Purple, Black Sabbath-First Album, Led Zeppelin II, Tommy-The Who, Blonde On Blonde-Bob Dylan and Exile On Main Street-The Rolling Stones.
Great video! None of your "Top 10 Albums That Changed My Life" albums would be on my list, but that's the beauty of music! There are no wrong answers!
Theater of Pain from Motley Crue got me started followed by Shout at the Devil. Then in 1988 ….And Justice For All by Metallica change the game for me forever.
I didn't see the Burn In Hell video and eventually Pee Wee's Big Adventure Movie until I was an adult. Doctor Feelgood I got in cassette in 1991 at age 12. Classic Album!!! I also grew up with Hysteria, Stay Hungry, Metal Health, and Poison's hit songs. GNR AFD was my first hard rock/metal album at age 12-1991.
10 albums changed my life
1. New Jersey Bon jovi
2 rumours Fleetwood Mac
3. Thunder backstreet symphony
4.poison flesh and blood
5. The kinks everybody’ in show business
6. The cult sonic temple
7. Stevie nicks wild heart
8. The black crowes shake your moneymaker
9, heart bad animals
10. The almighty soul destruction
my top 10 change my life albums are:
Eight Arms to Hold You - Veruca Salt (the only grunge band I like. This and Heart are my two fav female rock bands)
Slippery When Wet - Bon Jovi (turned me into a hardcore Bon Jovi fan for about 10 years)
Triumph of Steel - Manowar (introduced me to power metal)
Leftoverture - Kansas (incredible musical journey)
Passion and Warfare - Steve Vai (guitar on a whole new level)
Whitesnake - Whitesnake (hardcore awesome! Been a coverdale fan ever since)
Jesus Christ Superstar - Andrew Lloyd Webber (the ultimate rock opera)
Warriors of the World - Manowar (made me a hardcore Metal warrior)
KISS Alive - KISS (inspired me to learn to read and play music, percussion/drum set)
Destroyer - KISS (the album that got me into KISS and hard rock. Without this one, I'd still be listening to Donny Osmond and Sean Cassidy)
Great video. Thanks for sharing! I have a few of those as well. I remember hearing Queen "love of my life" from Live Killers when I was 8 or 9 or so. Or the first time I heard Rage Against The Machine. Hendrix's Are You Experienced... I should really make my own list ;-)
3 albums for me 76' - 79'. Thin Lizzy Jailbreak, UFO Lights Out, Judas Priest Hell Bent for Leather. Borrowed all of them from my older brother when they were released. Still thank him to this day for being a music nut with a job 😅
Great list and it's just a reminder that everyone's taste is so different. Age might play a part in this, not sure
Here is mine in order of when I discovered them...
Kiss - Rock and Roll Over ( 1976)
Deep Purple - Machine Head (1978)
Black Sabbath - Master of Reality ( 1978)
The Doors - Strange Days (1983)
The Beatles - White Album (.1983)
Metallica -.Kill'em All ( 1983)
Bathory - The Return of the Darkness and Evil ( 1985)
Iron Butterfly -.Ball ( 1988)
Jefferson Airplane - Crown of Creation ( 1989)
Love - Forever Changes ( 2001)
Also , just wanted to Stay Hungry has also always had a special place in my heart. I remember playing the crap outta that album back in the day. Saw them on that tour ,thought they were awesome! Love pretty much all their output but Stay Hungry might be my favorite.
Oh of course age, what era you grow up in, who your friends were, if you have siblings…there are lots of influences that come into play. But that’s why I preferences the video with “My” because the list is unique to me. I almost added a Doors album to mine except the one that changed my live was the 2 CD Best Of and I wanted to include actual album over original material. Another Greatest Hits that changed my life was Journey’s but again I opted for Frontiers instead. I considered Led Zeppelin’s IV because that blew my mind at the time but I now find it so overplayed that I can’t enjoy it the same way. But yes, it’s all personal preference in the end.
@@BrendonSnyder Its been frustrating watching some of these videos ( not yours) where ultimately someone isn't able to accept another's opinion and you are right, there are a lot of things at play when it comes to musical taste.
I didn't think of Led Zeppelin IV . That was another album that made a huge impact on me.
Love your videos :). Have a great day!
Nice video! Good picks! Can’t say I dislike any of those except for pink Floyd,not a huge fan of them. I am curious, are your brothers collectors also? What do they think of your insane collection?
Being that i am 64 Led Zeppelin 2 was the album that changed my life.
Ted Nugent, Van Halen & Kiss
👍
Great idea for a video. Way to share. It's funny that you took a photo of the CDs together. I did that with my top 10 of all time. A lot of Ozzy, Motley Crue, Ratt and Def Leppard in there. My island albums.
My first album I bought with my own $$$ was Reo Speedwagon Hi Infidelity in 1980. I mowed grass and did chores around the house to earn the money......then the first day I got it, I took it down to a friends house to show him and was holding the record sideways and it rolled out of the sleeve and onto the concrete and broke.....lol.
Fantastic canal. I love your eclectic taste of rock music. Division Bell, Afterburner, Painkiller and Apetite has similar influence on my youth. Probably some reason for my way too big CD collection. I miss The old conversations in The Music Stores that you remind me of. Do you have a video of The albums that you would bring on a desert island ?
I'm probably 25ish yrs older than you loved zzz top in 70s my 20 yr old self loved the Monkees later Aerosmith biggest was Alice Cooper saw him in 73 loved grand funk railroad as far as the 80s loved culture club loved Duran Duran the police also 70s deep purple met Peter Frampton back in 80 sounds silly on this channel I I loved what they called yatch rock loved the Doobie brothers loved journey cheap trick or course 60s rockers Motown met def Leppard back in 2005 the autographed my tee shirt wasnta huge hair metal 80s fan much girls girls girls cherry pie could skip my har band is always David Lee Roth van halen era sweet was another one
Great show Brendon. All great picks
oh man I was in grade 11 in 1985. I was introduced from an older brother to The Cars, Boston, Pink Floyd. I still think the Cars debut is one of the greatest debut albums ever
It was AC-DC for me when my older brother got highway to hell and back in black around the same time when I was only about 8 year old.
Deep Purple Stormbringer for me. Older boy next door gave it to me after I used to listen to it every time I went over there.
awesome video. my mom was the one who got me into metal. My cousin was big into Bon Jovi and I wanted to be in metal too but I didn't want to copy him. Being a Christian, my mom told me about this metal band known as Stryper. So I went to mall with my mom and bought To Hell With the Devil and that lead me to the metal fan I am today!! now my mom regrets it, because that lead to guns n roses, poison and even Metallica lol.
Kiss dynasty, black sabbath paranoid, dio sacred heart, Metallica ride the lightning, guns n roses appetite for destruction, def Leppard hysteria, iron maiden the number of the beast, pink Floyd the wall, led zeppelin 1, deep purple in rock.
I just listened to the Poison album for a bit on TH-cam, because I actually didn't know the band. Sounds pretty awesome! :)
I like the debut Look What Cat Dragged In and the third Flesh and Blood way better than Open Up . Not a Beau Hill producer fan , listen to the live record , songs have way more punch
The Poison, Crue and GNR albums had a similar impact on me, especially 'Appetite...'. 'Cowboys From Hell' was my gateway to the heavier stuff.
Metal health was my first taste of metal
And what a good first taste that was!
"I want to PREFERENCE this...?" It's preface! GAWD
What?🤷♂️
Ivory rose has its thorn? Seriously?
….it’s “Every” Rose Has It’s Thorn 🤦♂️
