I first discovered their debut album at age 12, around 1974. A friend of mine had an older brother who had some great albums (including stuff like Alice Cooper- Killer, Allman Brothers- Eat a Peach, ELP- Trilogy, Humble Pie- Smokin' etc. just to name a few I can recall), and we used to rummage through them and listen to a lot of stuff we'd never heard of (back then, AM radio was still king for anybody under 16). 

One of them was the original 3D lenticular cover version of Captain Beyond. 

With such a cool cover, surely the contents within must be just as cool, right? We were not disappointed. We'd turn off the lights in his brother's room, and turn on the black light, lava lamp, and 3-channel color organ light box (it pulsed in time to whatever music you played). and just listen to lots of records. His brother was cool about it and even encouraged us to explore his collection as long as we took care of his stuff.

What a pre-teen trip. I was never personally into the drug part of the stoner culture, but I always loved most of the pop culture aspects-- the music and the visual art- posters, album covers, artwork, the lights, etc.

Or if the rules could be loosened to allow representative albums of artists we were introduced to by our parents, directly or indirectly (which would probably be a greatest hits or best of compilation in many cases). But perhaps all these suggestions are taking things too far away from Confessor's original concept.

same here. I did listen to a lot of my dad's records, but perhaps influenced by only a handful. I may be able to come up with 10. I know I can come up with at least 5.
