The Orphan's Lament by Huun-Huur-Tu and Osorezan - Dou No Kenbai by 芸能山城組 (Geinoh Yamashirogumi). Opened me up to eastern music. Also, Geinoh Yamashirogumi did the soundtrack for Akira.

This was the first album I ever bought, at the age of twelve (2002). I had heard a few songs by Linkin Park on the radio, and stole a few songs off of Napster. I eventually saved up my allowance and bought this album on accident. The album I was actually after was Hybrid Theory, which was their premier album, but I accidentally picked this up instead (a remix album). And I loved it.
This album opened my eyes to a lot of things I hadn't heard on the radio before. The rapping took center stage in a couple songs, but it wasn't poppy or gangster. I learned that clear singing doesn't necessarily make you sound like a pussy. Classical instruments and electronic music invaded my eardrums in ways I never expected, but I came to love it.
Looking back, the album isn't really that phenomenal, but it really introduced me to hip-hop, electronic music, and classical stylings. And it really piqued my interest in music in general. It made me realize that music isn't just something that plays on the radio.
what the fuck is that
It's an album by Linkin Park clearly

This album got me into punk rock.

Visor om slutet by Finntroll

I used to listen to a lot of folk-metal (or pirate metal, or viking, whatever you wanna call it) a few years back, and this is one album I can always come back to.
Also, Statement of Intent by Crypsis.
[img]http://images.uulyrics.com/cover/b/bad-religion/album-no-control.jpg[/img]
got me into the rest of Bad Religion, and then Punk, and then into Ska-Punk
Technical Ectasy by Black Sabbath really got me into 70s and 80s Heavy Metal.
Used to listen to metal/rock, found this.

Fell in love with the sound, started looking a little more in-depth into music after I found that album. Snooping around, found this album because I originally found it as a reaction image.

Was blown away by how complex, yet harmonic it was. A couple days later, found THIS.

It was a good week, needless to say.
Hell, I could go on for a while, there's practically a dozen albums that changed my music taste forever.
[img]http://www.1000recordings.com/images/artist-a/aerosmith-12-l.jpg[/img]
My music genre had been undefined for quite some time. Up until I was 12 years old, I had been listening to Nirvana, electronic music and even rap.
My friend bought himself Guitar Hero: Aerosmith.
This changed music for the both of us for eternity. Aerosmith became my favorite band ever, I found Toys In the Attic and listened to it back-to-back a billion times, and I started listening to classic rock. I expanded from classic to hard, from that to heavy metal, and now anything within the genre of Rock is something I love.

Doubt I'd like death metal at all if it wasn't for this album[/QUOTE]
I liked it, but I never thought it was death
then again I didn't really care what genre it was because it was by Opeth and it was going to be a good album regardless
He didn't say it was, although I would call it progressive death metal. The vocals on that album were the first death metal style vocals I enjoyed.
Sure
Really I don't really care about the absolute specifics of the genre of the album, because since it's Opeth it's pretty much a guaranteed seal of quality.
On the subject of death metal though, I'm fairly sure that DAATH's album "The Hinderers" is what specifically got me interested in it

The vocals are perfect for me, the lyrics and vocals are great and all the people in the band are extremely taleneted. I especially like the guitars. Great walking/doing stuff music
Starting from the beginning of my musical experiences:
The First Album I ever properly listened to:
[img]http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51jEU6b6g1L._SL500_AA300_.jpg[/img]
I put it on my iPod because it only had five songs on it and the cover looked cool, age 12. We went on holiday, I spent the whole time listening to this.
For a long time, I was obsessed with such bands as Pink Floyd, Rush, Yes, Mike Oldfield, Marillion. And then I went to high school, new music arrived with it.
[img]http://cdn.pitchfork.com/media/1130-silent-alarm.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.albumoftheyear.org/album/covers/first-impressions-of-earth.jpg[/img]
Bloc Party showed me that Brits were cool cats, and the Strokes kept up the American side for me as well.
And then there was the time that I was obsessed with Blink... good times.
[img]http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51MhZdYCrPL._SL500_AA300_.jpg[/img]
These days, the last album that really blew me away was probably Los Campesinos! and their debut album Hold on now, Youngster. It showed me that music can be utterly eclectic and amazing and ridiculously happy at the same time.

[QUOTE=Franke_R!?;26709849]Ensiferum - Dragonheads EP
Dragonheads was the first metal song I heard, and the album was the first metal album I fully listened to.
It seems that I am not a metalhead for that long.

Meshuggah - Nothing
This was the album that got me into a whole new world of metal, Djent.
I am still blown away everytime I listen to this masterpiece.

Reel Big Fish - Monkeys for Nothin' and the Chimps for Free
This got me into the wonderful world of Ska, my favorite genre besides Metal.

Dragonheads is by far the most underrated song by Ensiferum, my favorite actually, I have no idea why it's not as popular.
I think Opeth are death metal but as TheGuru said it's a pretty unusual style hence the progressive tag. Uses death metal traits but they play it in a different way. Either way it doesn't matter because everything Mikael Akerfeldt or Opeth touch is guaranteed gold.
Meshuggah - Catch 33. Everything in my world suddenly became so brutally groovy!
[img]http://typophile.com/files/4vq0jc_4245.jpg[/img]
got me into hip hop
[img]http://ak.buy.com/PI/0/500/60609128.jpg[/img]
pretty much made hip hop one of the key genres in my life
[img]http://www.hiphopsite.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Kno-Death_is_Silent.jpg[/img]
just blew me away, made me see that hip hop is endlessly multifaceted

I picked this up on the cheap a few months ago, the level of brutality that DMX puts across with his rhyming is genuinely intimidating. While other rappers were burning each other on the quality of their rhymes, DMX was threatening to rape the other rappers to death.
