Yes, "90125." I was all of 12 years old. I was pretty much a pop fan up
to that time, but "90125" got me into the Yes back catalog, which in
turn got me into prog-rock.
But then I was a weird kid who listened to Beethoven and had had his
psyche fairly well rattled by hearing "Ummagumma" at the tender age of
8 or 9. So I suppose I was primed for more adventurous music by the
time I actually got around to "discovering" it for real.

For you, personally, I mean. The album that, especially in hindsight,
you can look back on and say, "My entire musical universe began to
shift with that record."
My last post made me think of this as a possible thread idea, as for
me, it was most definitely Bowie's Low, whch I first heard just after
turning 15. Within a year of buying it, I had virtually the complete
works of Eno, Kraftwerk and TD up to that point (to name but three.)

For me it was a 45 - "In My Own Time" by Family - heard on the radio.
Up till then I'd listened to regular pop, but this was incredible. I
didn't know if I liked it or not, but it was incredible. And I wanted
more.
35 years on and it remains a favourite.

I think you've overstayed your welcome in this newsgroup. Can you stop
posting, for heaven's sake??? We've now become your de facto psychiatrist
for a very long time now...

9 years in, and you just now feel like saying this?

Have you, now? Whatever you say, Doctor Idiot.
By the way - you either change your name, or decide to de-lurk - for
this? You could have at least done it after one of my wisecracks, as
opposed to actual discussions.

I think probably "Soft Machine Third". I heard about 5 minutes of it
on a 99 cent sampler LP, and laid down the big $4.98 or whatever it
cost ca 1971 because I'd never heard anything like it and wanted to
hear more.

Disraeli Gears. Prior to that, I'd been listening to Association
records.
There was no going back.

Do you still like The Association, though? I think Insight Out and
Birthday hold their own, in terms of pop, against anything else from
that period. And while his overall output wasn't huge, to me Terry
Kirkman is one of the most underrated songwriters of the late 60's.

It didn't shiift my world (partly because I only first heard it in
'87), but that definitely was a big "impact" record for me, too
(especially "Out-Bloody-Rageous").
