Let's see. There was:

Kansas - Leftovertures. Like FA, this album opened my eyes to a lot of other bands that I would never have heard if not for Kansas. Still one of my all time favorites.

Black Sabbath - We sold our soles for Rock & Roll. I didn't know music could hit so hard before this.

Yes - Tormatto. Showed me that music didn't have to be slammin' to be good.

Rush - 2112. Sci-fi, slammin' music and thought provoking all in one.

Pink Floyd's - Umma Gumma. A whole new world of music is out there to be discovered.

Ted Nugent - Double Live Gonzo. Made me forget all about Led Zep.
