Music QotW: Life-Changing Album
What album has been most influential in your life?
Submitted by Soup.
The most influential album on my life is probably is Minor Threat. Seven years ago, I picked up Minor Threat's Complete Discography, along with 13 Songs by Fugazi. Both of these albums have completely shaped my life, who I am, and all the future music I would listen to.
Back in middle school, all my friends started doing extacy and smoking pot. These things just didn't appeal to me, and I never wanted to experience anything like that. Listening to Minor Threat made me realize I wasn't alone, and actually there was an entire section of music geared towards my own views. Straight-edge was something I could relate to for 6 years of my life. Hardcore was something I could relate to.
I've never really been able to get away from my roots either. I've always had a soft spot for lo-fi music. Musicians who don't really use too many electronic manipulators. Also slow, long songs have just never been my style. So, they've influenced me all over.
The. End.
