15 Album Meme pt. 1

I'm doing this from computer class, so it may come in bits and bobs if I can't save a draft here.  Yes, I'm playing in class because I'm bored out of my thick skull.  This meme come from pamelonian .

Think of 15 albums that had such a profound effect on you they changed your life. Dig into your soul. Music that brought you to life when you heard it. Then when you finish, tag 15 others, including me. Make sure you copy and paste this part so they know the drill.

I'm not tagging anyone.  Do this only if you want to.  I would ask that, if you do do, drop me a link to your post, on account of I'm curious about what your albums are.  Anyways, here are my 15, in no particular order.

1. Xanadu Soundtrack:  It officially introduced me to ELO and was instrumental in my becoming a Witch because of the Goddess influence on the whole Xanadu project.
2. Eldorado by the Electric Light Orchestra:  The title track to this album is the song I want played at my funeral.  It's that important to me.  I still consider myself a dreamer, an unwoken fool.
3. The Dancing Years by Shriekback:  This is a compilation of Shriek songs and is usually reviled by most Shriekback fans, particularly the purists who didn't appreciate Barry's reinterpretations of original Shriek songs.  This album was influential for me because of one of those reinterpretations, "Deeply Lined Up."  It was this song that created Cadmus Pariah in my sick and twisted mind.  Within 8 minutes of that song, my best and most terrifying character was born.  I haven't been right since and that was in 1990.
4. Big Night Music by Shriekback:  Every song on this album (except for 'Pretty Little Things') sang to my soul and inspired much writing.  The liner notes in this album were also very important to me on a spiritual level.  I was still a Dedicant when I came to Big Night Music, so the written intro to the album (composed by Barry Andrews, of that I have no doubt), helped me to understand the path on which I wanted to tread.  I'm still treading that path, still 'celebrating the blessed dark, the place I was always most at home.'
5. The Wall by Pink Floyd:  When I realised I was going mad back in the 80s, this was my soundtrack.  After having discovered Syd Barrett and his story, I thoroughly related and looked into my on abyss.  The Wall became my soundtrack and My Friend Todd and I would listen to it religiously, singing every single word.  Dark and delightful times those were.

Okay, we're getting into Access hot and heavy here, so I guess I should pay attention.  I'll finish this later before I have to head for work.
