Last.FM friend Kixka_Nebraska forwarded this to me on another network:

>> Think of 15 albums, CDs, LPs (if you're over 40) 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. Royally affected you, kicked you in the wasu, literally socked you in the gut, is what I mean. Then when you finish, tag 15 others, including me. Make sure you copy and paste this part so they know the drill. Get the idea now? Good. Tag, you're it! <<

Here's my list:

1973 Udo Lindenberg & das Panik-Orchester, Alles klar auf der Andrea Doria

1975 Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show, Ballad of Lucy Jordan

1976 Parliament, The Clones of Dr. Funkenstein
