15 Albums That Changed My Life is one of the more interesting notes that are going around on FaceBook right now, and I felt compelled to share it on the ‘Gig. What you’re supposed to do is make a list of 15 albums, CDs, LPs (if you’re over 40) that had such a profound effect on you that they, literally, changed your life.

Sometimes it’s advantageous to be an old fart. Here’s my list, kind of in chronological order but undoubtedly with MANY omissions.
1. The Beatles – Help! (Original Soundtrack)
2. Led Zeppelin 4
3. ELP – Welcome Back My Friends
4. The Who – Who’s Next
5. Peter Frampton – Frampton Comes Alive
6. Genesis – The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway
7. Peter Gabriel – Wet Windshield (First Solo Album)
8. Queen – A Night at the Opera
9. Alice Cooper’s Greatest Hits (original band)
10. Buzzcocks – Love Bites
11. Generation X – S/T
12. Julian Cope – World Shut Your Mouth
13. The Smiths – The Queen is Dead
14. Blur – Park Life
15. Guns & Roses – Appetite for Destruction
