Best First Time Listen Albums

I came in here to say Funeral... In the sense that the first time I heard it I almost cried.

Now it barely affects me. Kind of lost impact.

When I heard this album for the first time I fell in love with it. It shows Radioheads evolution.

Going into this album for the first time it really hit me hard. To this day I could still relate to a lot of the lyrics.

I must've listened to DSOTM about 20 times, I still can't stand it.

Hmmm... I liked Dark Side Of The Moon better than the Wall.

Best First Time Listen though? Got to be Blood Sugar Sex Magic by the Chillies.
