Having evening drinks on back porch and listening to The Cars first album. They were one of the more mainstream New Wave bands. The follow-up of Candy O was in the same vein. Additionally Van Halen I and II were a different kind of R&R from the Journeys, Bostons, etc. Class of 80.
What were influential albums in your HS years?

Was just talking about this topic today. I was really into What the story, morning glory by oasis.
I was into RATM, Chevelle, SOAD, and Foo fighters. I dunno if I consider any influential on me or society necessarily.
Hot Fuss, The Killers
Mesmerize, System of a Down

AC/DC's ENTIRE catalog. (My username is based off AC/DC.) My senior year I drove to Walmart the day Black Ice was released. It was their first album in 9 years and I was psyched!

That soundtrack was awesome. High school c/o 96. My mood music for teenage brooding was REM, GNR, Metallica, Tool, and a lot of classic rock.
Particularly influential were the Metallica black album and REM Automatic for the People. I can restart either of those albums and be transported back 30 years to my youth.
In 1987 alone you had:
U2 - Joshua Tree
REM - Document
Depeche - Music for the Masses
New Order - Substance
GNR - Appetite for Destruction
The Cure - Kiss me Kiss me Kiss me
Incredible year for music

You must be the same timeframe as me those are 1980-1983 mostly... but 2112 was released in 1976.
Rush released Moving Pictures in 1981 though and it was a huge influence on me as a drummer.
I would add
Van Halen - Diver Down
ZZ Top. - Eliminator
Rolling Stones - Tattoo You
Iron Maiden - Number of the Beast
U2 - War
Bruce Springsteen - Born in the USA in 1984 right after I graduated
On the pop front HUGE stuff in 82-84
Michael Jakscon - Thriller in 1982
Prince - 1999 in 1982
Madonna - debut in 1983
Purple Rain and Like a Virgin were soon after I graduated in 1984.

Our thoughts on the current controlled EXTRATERRESTRIAL reality disclosure process and related US GOV cover-up? Once the uneasy, contagious giggling subsides, how will our civilization and the mislead sheep adapt to this publicly known reality? Are the good Shepherds withholding the truth in our best interest? Perhaps multiple species are involved?

Moving Pictures introduced me to Rush, and I started buying their music. Once I heard 2112, that's the album I listened to on repeat.Quote:
