Influences

I was thinking about the response to the 100 All-Time Album post, and I think that perhaps they (Time magazine) were trying to list Most Influential Albums. They still missed a lot, but I think that some of our responses had to do more with albums and artists we love more than what was influential. I was thinking about albums which were influential in the way I listened to or reacted to or even were influential in the way I wrote and played pop music. The album covers pictured are all records (I have each one of these on vinyl and cd) which really influenced me in the ways listed above. Please add your lists in the comments!
