Catherine Wheel - Chrome (1993)

I am not a great writer, and can't go on for a while without getting bored and just deleting the whole thing so I will just say that this album is an emotional spectrum, with fantastic stand alone tracks and brilliant musicianship. It WILL invade your soul if you allow it to.

Not a bad song on there!
Assuming you're not a spammer (though with a suffix like that I doubt you're anything else), please read the OP. This is NOT a thread for throwing in a one-line reply. You need to, like all the previous posters, expand on what the album means to you and why you like it, how it made you feel, what period of your life it recalls etc etc.

If, on the other hand, you are a spammer (99% probability) then you know what to do.

So I've been putting this thread off for a while just because I felt I was going to end up writing too much. I'll try to be as brief though relevant as possible.

Tommy James & The Shondells - "Crimson & Clover"

One of my very first LPs; I was 16. The album sparked a lifelong obsession with psychedelic music (and the Shondells). It still remains a record I turn to for comfort, or when I just need to feel a little groovier than usual. I plan to get a tattoo having something to do with the title track (or the album as a whole) eventually. In short, it changed my reality and just really taught me how to groove.

Fleetwood Mac - "Rumours"

This album stirs up half a million emotions every time I hear it. It's the album that got me through when I was addicted to drugs and living in Cincinnati. "Gold Dust Woman" will always remind me of the mother of someone I was very close to, who really messed my heart up. Did she make you cry, make you break down, shatter your illusions of love? It was my first time left to my own devices and I really screwed up. Tell me, is it over now? Do you know how to pick up the pieces and go home? I ended up essentially being "returned" like a defective toy.

Carpenters - "Close to You"

My love for Karen Carpenter is without words. Her voice brings tears to my eyes just because of how much I absolutely love her, and how much it breaks my heart that she's gone. This record kept me company for a long time. It's like a worn blanket. Familiar, comforting, and a little bit shabby but that makes it even better. Many difficult times were worked through from the sheer power of this album's ability to help me cry it out, while essentially healing my heart.

Simon & Garfunkel - "Sounds of Silence"

This record came to me when I was very young. It will remind me of the last innocent summer I'd spent with myself. It will always remind me of my first real heartache. Whenever I hear it, I feel innocent and virtuous. I feel warm. It took me many years before I could listen to it without crying or feeling sorry for myself (especially when "Kathy's Song" would come on). Now it's just another album, with new and improved powers.

Pink Floyd - "Animals"

The importance of this album is sort of new to me. It never meant half as much to me as it did during the time I spent marching with the Occupiers in California. I learned a lot about what I hated about dishonest, greedy, deceptive people. I could put meaning to my hurt feelings, caused by irresponsible employers and authority figures I felt I could trust. In my resignation letter from my last job, I included these lyrics from "Dogs" - You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to, so that when they turn their backs on you, you'll get the chance to put the knife in.

Genesis - "Invisible Touch"

This is sort of a weird one, but this album holds a ridiculous amount of importance with me. It was the soundtrack to the later years of my childhood, and the album that got me into Genesis. It got me into synth-driven, proggy music. I can't exactly explain it. I was especially impressed by the story told in "Domino". I'm still astounded by it.

Sparks - "Indiscreet"

This is the album that saved my life. It changed the way I looked at life, at music, at just about everything. The power of lyrics, the wit, the charm. Everything about this album was enough to pull me out of the haze I was into at the time. I went clean from all drugs, started eating again, didn't sleep 17 hours a day anymore, and I found that I had a new passion in life. My obsession with Sparks led me to enjoy a long list of similar acts from the 70s. This album essentially breathed new life into me.

Roxy Music - "Avalon"

This is an album that has an entire landscape to me. It's like stepping into another world. I listen to it when I need to escape from whatever anxiety I'm feeling. From the lush orchestration to the meticulous melodies, "Avalon" is a masterpiece. I plan to immortalize my allegiance to Roxy Music (not a whole lot of people profess to be fans of theirs, it's weird) in the form of a tattoo, but I haven't figured it out just yet. I'm not sure what else to say about this one. It's just one of the greats of my collection; nothing else to it.
