What album(s) was a musical epiphany for you?

[tugmcmartin]

Some have been mentioned before by others...

Allman Brothers Band - Eat a Peach
Led Zeppelin - Houses of the Holy
Little Feat - Waiting For Columbus
Michael Jackson - Thriller
The Who - Quadraphenia and Who's Next
Bobby McFerrin - Don't Worry Be Happy (what? there's life outside of rocknroll?)
Steppenwolf - 16 Greatest Hits (not really an "album" per se, but still something that made me go "wow")
Grateful Dead - American Beauty
Beastie Boys - License to ill (hip hop meets white suburbia)
NWA - Straight Outta Compton (gangsta rap meets white suburbia)
Nil Lara - Nill Lara (a meeting of world music and rock that still blows me away ten years later)

There are others, but those are the prominent ones....
