What album changed your life?

[Rio 5,088]

The Fame was the first album that had a profound effect on my life. I listened to music like Anastacia or Cascada or Cher as a young kid, but it changed when she debuted. I became a super-fan!

Another album is Rumours by Fleetwood Mac. My favourite album of all time. GRAMMY-winning, it was inducted in the National Registry of America in 2018 and 45+M copies sold worldwide. 🙌🏼

The Fame, The Fame Monster, Born This Way, 1989, Reputation, Teenage Dream, Witness, Loud

 

The Fame was the first album I got and it made me discover music as a 8 year old kid

The Fame Monster brought the freak of myself alive

Born This Way helped me through a dark, insecure phase of my life

I discovered 1989 later (2017/2018) but now it helps me to feel free, clean and how to shake haters off

Reputation basically saved my life. The whole album concept, revenge, betrayal, taking responsibility of your own narritive, coming back stronger after a mental breakdown, how a reputation (the way people perceive you) can mislead them, it was such therapy. Stream Delicate btw

Teenage Dream made me feel happy and later songs like Firework and Pearl inspired me to feel that I'm worth it

Witness made me conscious of life

Loud gave me also a happy, free feeling. It felt so upbeat

Every MJ album. I don't even know where I'd be without him.

Britney Spears - Oops!..I Did It Again

i believe this was the first album i ever got and it made me fall in love with Britney and become a stan and love pop music! Every album she has put out has made me love her even more and i just admire how she still does what she does after everything she has been through.

Did not really change my life but it was the first album I’ve ever bought when I was nine with my own saved money on the first day of summer holiday so it brings nice memories and will always have a special place in my heart 

 

My first Madonna album. Oh gosh. I was OBSESSED with this album and with her and that’s how my journey with M began. Ever since I’m her biggest fan, I got to know about a lot of artists, designers, photographers etc, I’ve gained more interest in electronic/electro pop music and live concerts AND CULTURE OVERALL thanks to being Madonna fan. I spent a lot of time during my teenage years watching and reading everything Madonna related, I’ve seen every tour live since Sticky & Sweet and I really feel like I’ve become much more open minded thanks to Madonna, her beliefs, what she represents and stands for. Plus she taught me to express myself, not to repress myself 

 

 

This masterpiece, along with SEX book, helped me realise that it’s OK to be sexual, have sexual fantasies, that there’s nothing wrong with having sex, doing it for pleasure and that sex doesn’t equal love  Also made me more open minded, less judgemental and well, after Sex book nothing was ever shocking to me anymore (well, except for Two Girls, One Cup when I first saw it ).

Daaaamn. This album came out during, like, the shittiest period in my life. Few months before it’s release I moved to bigger city where I had no friends and didn’t know anyone. Then in January my boyfriend broke up with me after three years of being together because he met someone else and then I fell for this other guy who, after few dates, told me he only wanted to be friends  So considering that most of the songs from the album are about unhappy love/end of a relationship it was super relatable to me and it really helped me to get through all the **** at the time. Of course I became Lana stan and I love her to this day, her music appeals to me and connects with me in a way no other artist’s music can. Got my heart broken again last year  and again her music was very helpful during that time. Plus I became more open minded music wise, more interested in less popular/indie acts.

Anastacia's self-titled, if you haven't heard it then go to Spotify and hear it

Or I'll ban you from this forum

Stripped by Christina Aguilera. That album helped me get through my early years of school when I was so depressed and wanted to end it all. No other album has ever helped me in the way that one did. When she sang The Voice Within it was like she was singing it directly to me. For a singer to directly acknowledge their listener was quite rare back then.

For me, it's more like artists who changed my life... hands down Lady Gaga of course (Every Album inspired me in some kind of way) 

And other than Gaga herself, Moderat.

Moderat has 3 Albums and all of them are pretty good. They have a unique style. The most "Radio Friendly" Album is "III"

Ghostmother is one of the Tracks on that album... A friend told me about them quiet shortly after my Mom died. Ghostmother just hit me in my heart and ever since there Music is Therapy for me. 

Two other Tracks I really love are Rusty Nails (From their first album) and Last Time (from their second album)

 

 

 

Give it a try! They are so good. Seen them live twice and their show is incredible.

The first album I bought when I was 9 years old. 

I remember using my grandma's card on iTunes 

This is when I realized that liking boys was ok too, and turned me into the messy gay that I am today

For me it's not an album, it's a song. It didn't change my life, but made me love City pop and the Japan from the 80s. 

Obviously I love Variety. But Plastic Love is a very important song for me.

From Gaga: The Fame Monster (got me into pop music again, stanning, modern pop culture) and ARTPOP (got me thinking more experimentally and open about my Mary Jane Holland use.)

 

Otherwise, I feel like Sarah McLachlan's "Afterglow" spoke to my little gay 13 year old self back in 2003 and helped me through the struggles.  As did Winehouse's Back to Black a few years later.
