License to Ill and Appetite for Destruction were the two that I most remember hitting like a ton of bricks. Both were like, "Oh wow."
I guess Illmatic was like that, too, but somehow I knew about Nas before it came out. Maybe from that song he did with MC Serch. But I'd never really heard the Beastie Boys or GNR until they burst on the scene, so it was more eye opening. To me, anyway.
