A while back, several people I know on social media got invited to post the ten albums that influenced them the most. Each one posted one album a day for the next ten days, although some couldn’t limit their lists to just ten.
For some reason or another, I never got my invite. Maybe it’s because I’m not into vinyl. I appreciate that it’s making a comeback, but I really don’t want to buy my collection all over again.
So I am sharing my own list of albums that have changed and broadened my musical horizons. Of course, I have way more than 10. If you’re not all that into music, you might want to skip ahead to the next post. But if you are, buckle your seatbelt ’cause you’re in for a bumpy ride. Here they are (in no particular order):
