Huge influence on my musical taste

As strange as it is, this album influenced me more than any other cd I've ever bought and this is based in large part on timing.
I was your typically sheltered, homeschooled, christian child, but as I hit puberty and needed an outlet for my rage, I tried to turn to music. However, my mother wouldn't let me get many of the cds I wanted because of song titles or explicit content stickers.
Somehow, this cd slipped past her censorship and thus my exposure to hard rock began. Some might say bad about these bands, or even some of these songs. But I will tell you this, they were a godsend (oh the irony) to a kid just developing, and because I was able to listen to these and release, I and those around me became the better for it.
I ended up buying or somehow getting my hands on cds from almost all of these bands, and I still listen to a lot of them to this day.
A strange story, I suppose, but true.
