In life shaping timeline order.

Bad Religion - Stranger Than Fiction
Merzbow - Merzbird
Luc Ferrari - Far-West News
Solar Fields - Movements

4 is no where near enough though. Just last night i heard an album by Phillip Wilkerson that has already shaped the way i perceive a sunset glaring in my rear view mirror after returning home from the grocery store.

John Foxx – Metamatic
Human League – Reproduction
Gary Numan - Telekon
Sex Pistols - Never Mind the Bollocks

But that means leaving out Fadgadget, Bruckner, Liszt, Kraftwerk....

B.Springsteen Born To Run
D.Bowie Young Americans
Prince Controversy
DEVO Duty Now For The Future
Having been born in 1952 I have experienced first hand 6 decades of music (everything from Do-Wop to Hip Hop). Trying to fit this influence into 4 selections is ludicrous. 300 would be a more realistic number.

Don't know if I can name 4, but one album that definitely played a big role while I was growing up was Lamb of God's Ashes of the Wake. I still love that album to death.

About 10 years apart (not date of release, but me obsessively listening to them), albums that opened up new directions in my listening habits:

The Beatles - 1967–1970 (the blue album)
The Smiths - Hatful of Hollow
Stereolab - Emperor Tomato Ketchup
Dirty Projectors - Bitte Orca

4 albums that shaped me...
