meat loaf, ozzy osbourne, alice cooper, dio, bon jovi, ac/dc, guns n roses, whitesnake and juz recently green day who stopped me from listenin to a lot of the same music and started to listen to summat a bit different

[Rich Duncan]

The only one that really hit me in a strong way was Elliott Smith's "Either/Or". I was going through some rough times a few years ago and I listened to this album almost every single day for a few months (but that doesn't mean thats all I listened to). For some reason it just made me feel a little bit better or at the very least calmed me down. I love that album.

[ForTheBest]

in the garage - weezer.
i grew up in a small town filled with closed minded people. the chorus goes "in the garage, i feel safe, no one laughs about my way." it let me know that somewhere i would find my 'garage.' and i did.

[Logan95]

Nothing Else Matters-Metallica

The song helped me keep things in perspective through highschool

[MIKEY_HORROR]

as far as getting into music it was

Tears for Fears- Shout
Guns and Roses- Sweet Child o Mine
and Metallica- One

and as far as helping me through hard times

Stadium Arcadium (RHCP's new album) helped take my mind off a bunch of shit that was going on this year.

[dyingfetus666]

The bands Slayer and Lamb of god, they introduced me into heavy music.

1905 - Voice, that album probably influenced me more than any other single album. And it definetly changed my life.

dark side of the moon and Led Zeppelin II made me want to live during the 1970's?

[HolidayFromReal]

A lot of Jack's Mannequin and Something Corporate made me think about things. . . .

All of Brand New CD's made me think about some stuff too. . .

Different by Accepted made me think about a lot.

[Nevuk]

Minor Threat - Complete Discography .
Didn't so much change my life as accelerate my course greatly. No other music has really changed my life, although a few have made me feel good or w/e.

my 3 favorite albums for that reason

[BGP]

1905 - Voice, that album probably influenced me more than any other single album. And it definetly changed my life.
That album, is hands down, one of my favorites, and that is why I love you

But to answer the question, I'd have to say either mewithoutyou - a-b life. I was never really into them, but then I took the time to read the lyircs, it changed how I look on life.

[Rich Duncan]

It is good to see other Elliott Smith fans and people who related to "Either/Or". A lot of good albums/artists have been mentioned in this thread so far

[shaki324]

A lot of Jack's Mannequin and Something Corporate made me think about things. . . .

they put a passion for music in me that, quite literally, changed my life. i couldn't agree more.

[DeadCityScars]

Thursday - War All the Time (I got in the game late)

But yeah, Thursday was a catalyst to so much great music and actually, my registration on this site. I was listening to bands like Trapt at the time, so yeah Thursday saved my life. And It's not just that, but I feel a connection to that band greater than any other band I've found. Everything they do, I like. And Geoff is such a unique soul.
