Re: 3 albums that shaped your musical identity.
This thread is great.
Its awesome to see the different eras and genres that moves us forward.
Deftones "white pony"
Meshuggah "nothing"
Aphex Twin "ambient works"
Mastodon's "leviathan" was huge also, if I can add a third here.

Re: 3 albums that shaped your musical identity.
I wanted to say Swervedriver and Swirlies, but I still can't figure out what the fuck they are doing in certain songs that I dig so much. Like that breakdown in Swirlies "San Cristobal." WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK. TEACH ME.

Re: 3 albums that shaped your musical identity.
All right... I have a problem sticking to rules about number of albums... and this is in no way complete... but it is in approximate chronological order, starting with late elementary school / early middle school, and continuing post-college:
Steppenwolf - Greatest Hits
The Who - Meaty Beaty Big & Bouncy
Jimi Hendrix - Are you Experienced?
The Hoodoo Gurus - Mars Needs Guitars
Metallica - Kill 'Em All / The $5.98 E.P.: Garage Days Re-Revisited
Ministry - The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste
Primus - Frizzle Fry
Screaming Trees - Uncle Anesthesia
Ride - Nowhere
Bob Mould - Black Sheets of Rain
Hüsker Dü - Zen Arcade / Warehouse
Jawbox - Novelty
Yo La Tengo - Painful
MBV - Loveless
Versus - The Stars are Insane
Swirlies - They Spent Their Wild Youthful Years...
Luna - Penthouse
Ditch Croaker - Secrets of the Mule
Superdrag - In the Valley of Dying Stars
There's definitely more that deserves to go in there, but these days my listening is so scattered, I'm not sure if a full album would count anymore as much as individual artists. For example, in the last five years, I've gotten really into Motörhead, but I couldn't point to any particular album (though Motörizer stayed in my car CD player for YEARS).

Yo jrmy I'm definitely buying you a drink if you make it out to Boris.
Also you would have a pretty fan-fucking-tastic record collection if you only owned albums mentioned in this thread.
