First album that prompted me to part with money was Kongos by John Kongos. But the first one to blow me away was Next by Sensational Alex Harvey Band ( so good choice Iang...)

Probably Ten by Pearl Jam. That got played an awful lot. Nirvana got all the hype but I preferred PJ.

Closely followed by Harvest by Neil Young (brilliant chill out album), Angel Dust by Faith no More was a favourite for a long time and Superunknown by Soundgarden.

When I was younger Love by The Cult was fave album for a good while.

Ten - Pearl Jam. One of THE classic albums. It used to get my adrenalin going before a round.

Oasis - Definately Maybe and Whats the Story where the main sound tracks to my youth. Glad I didn't get too much of my folk's taste in music which was mainly anything by Jimmy Shand or the like.
