Different songs had different effects on me for different reasons..and at different ages.

But what group had the most effect on me was listening to Pink Floyd in an outdoor Mercado in Mexico while tripping on Acid.

I liked Pink Floyd before then, but that night I guess I was about 22 sitting there listening to them of course high as a kite my whole perspective changed on a lot of things.

I grew up in the 70's so a lot of this music I listened to because of my older brother and sister but I didn't really LISTEN to it.

So I spent a lot of time revisiting some great bands from the 60's and 70's like The Doors, Zeppelin, The Who etc.

This put me on a spiritual journey that lasted for a few years including being in a ceremony with a Navajo medicine woman taking peyote. That night me and another buddy were adopted into the Navajo Nation.

I look at myself now, and I wonder how I got so lost. I am not the man I used to be. But are anyof us really?

The Cult's 'Love' disc for me, though U2's WAR started about everything for me. And old Talking Heads.

Though the Momentary Lapse of Reason disc by PF was, and is, one my melancholy discs.

There aren't too many specific songs that have changed my life, but these albums have in some way.

Led Zeppelin - Houses of the Holy
Massive Attack - Blue Lines
Bob Marley - Uprising
Pink Floyd - The Final Cut
Metallica - Master of Puppets
Black Star - Mos Def and Talib Kweli Are Black Star
Ozric Tentacles - Strangeitude
The Doors - Waiting For The Sun
Fishbone - Truth And Soul
Rush - Hemispheres
Van Morrison - Astral Weeks
Stevie Wonder - Songs In The Key Of Life

I would have to say most of the U2 songs influenced me on how my perspective of life, particularly the songs from The Joshua Tree album

:Oh crap

I was 13 years old listening to AM radio and then I heard the song that blew my mind and a couple of others that set the course,,

Won't Get Fooled Again - the WHO
Black Dog - Led Zeppelin
Iron Man - Black Sabbath
Highway Star - Deep Purple
I Don't Need No Doctor - Humple Pie

After that I was totally addicted.:thumbsup
