I was driving to work today listening to the radio and thinking about what music has changed my listening habits over the years - thought it might be a fun topic... might not too...

1. Kiss - Destroyer
2. Led Zeppelin - Fourth Album
3. Yes - Going For The One
4. Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath
5. Gang of Four - Entertainment
6. Sex Pistols - Never Mind the Bollocks
7. Doors - LA Woman
8. Pearl Jam - Ten
9. Miles Davis - Sketches of Spain
10. Genesis - Duke

Some of them caused me to go on a buying binge until I had every track produced at that time... some of them just opened my eyes to new music... either way - they all had an effect on my listening and my life.
