I got in late on this, and while I know I won't win the prize, my album would be ''Damaged'' by Black Flag. At that point in my life, I was listening mostly to Rap/Hip-Hop, and some older rock, then I bought this album and it blew my mind. I had always acknowledged the existence of punk rock, but never heard it encapsuled in such a great way, it made me realize the sheer force and intensity that music can and most cases should have. Not saying everything should sound like Greg Ginns guitar and Rollins' vocals, but it made me understand how raw and pure music has the capacity to be, after this album everything changed...
