Albums that "blew your mind"

[yeahman727]

It’s Dark and Hell is Hot blew my mind

And I’m from the South

This post intrugued me. It did because I don't think the new generation can have the feeling that we (33 years old and up) had in the late 80's and 90's about hearing a ground breaking album (either sonically and or politically). My album of choice is shown below. It blew my mind when I herd ATLiens
