I'd actually argue that In Utero is a better choice for this than Nevermind.

Whoever said Dragnet upthread is totally OTM.

― Sven Hassel Schmuck, Monday, 10 November 2008 19:20 (fifteen years ago) link
I'd say Definitely Maybe fits the bill.

Definitely Maybe is a good album! But, alas, Oasis is a band whose legacy has been sullied by every subsequent album they put out. If everyone had died in a fiery plane crash right after that album, it would be held up as the classic that it is. It doesn't even sound like the same band that put out that "Wonderwall" crap.

I started listening from side 2, but 20 seconds into Haert & Soul I knew it was everything I was searching for.

wtf at the oreo shit
― Black Seinfeld (HI DERE), Monday, 10 November 2008 19:32 (fifteen years ago) link
fastest I ever figured this out was with Loveless
― Matos W.K., Monday, 10 November 2008 19:33 (fifteen years ago) link
how familiar are you with this album. Be honest.
― Pantheism F. Mohair (res), Monday, 10 November 2008 19:34 (fifteen years ago) link
The oreo shit was a bit of stupid wordplay on my part, basically referring to Matos' suggestion.
― restraint and blindness (Just got offed), Monday, 10 November 2008 19:40 (fifteen years ago) link
Yeah, corny indie fuxor whatever, but Arcade Fire's Funeral did this to me, immediately. Also, Pulp's Different Class and The Smiths' Hatful Of Hollow.
― Background Zombie (CharlieNo4), Monday, 10 November 2008 19:42 (fifteen years ago) link
Disintegration was the first thing that came to mind. Also, AMC's "mercury"
― akm, Monday, 10 November 2008 19:44 (fifteen years ago) link
i think my first 20 seconds with loveless was spent trying to figure out what was wrong with my headphones
― rent, Monday, 10 November 2008 19:46 (fifteen years ago) link
Wasn't talking about you, LJ, more res and his unnecessary Vanilla Ice comment.

Can's "Ege Bamyasi" was like this for me. I first heard it when I was about sixteen, ten seconds into Pinch I had already decided that this was my favourite album ever. (Which it isn't, but I still love it.)
Marquee Moon fits the bill too.

Nation of Millions
I would argue against that, at least from the perspective of a US listener. "Huh? Hammersmith Odeon? What the fuck? What is this, a live album? What the hell's going on?"
― Sara Sara Sara, Monday, 10 November 2008 20:32 (fifteen years ago) link
The Who Sell Out (horn blasts alternating with computer-voiced days of the week)
And while we're at it, Live At Leeds.
And The John Coltrane Quartet Plays, McCoy Tyner's forbodingly dissonant voicings of the "Chim Chim Cheree" chords.
And any and all Dumitrescu.

Rain Dogs yes. I can remember the moment! My friend slapping it on the turntable, me vaguely aware of Waits as a seventies singer songwriter of some kind, maybe like Randy Newman. The squawk like a closet door opening, all these strange tools stuffed inside clattering to the floor
