Speaking with Classic Rock, Guns N' Roses / Hookers & Blow keyboardist Dizzy Reed revealed 10 albums that changed his life. Following is an excerpt from the rundown.

Booker T. & The M.G.’s – Soul Limbo (1968)

Reed: "I was eight years old. My grandmother lived in the apartment above us, and she taught me to play organ. She played a song one night and said, ‘Why don’t you try it?’ When I played it back, she knew I had talent, and she kinda nurtured that. Then I started getting into pop and rock music. My dad had a big record collection, and one of those records was Soul Limbo. He put that on one day and I said, 'Aha! That’s the same instrument that I know how to play. I know how to play rock music now!' That was the turning point in my life, when I discovered I could play in a band. I didn’t want to work nine-to-five. My whole life – since I was ten – I’ve been in a band. By the time we were twelve, we were playing for money. I don’t know much else."

W.A.S.P. – W.A.S.P. (1984)

Reed: "There was a magic to that first W.A.S.P. record. Y’know, it was just evil enough. It was just heavy enough. The lyrics were cool and the melodies were great. I hadn’t heard anything that sonically big at that time. But it also said to me that there was something happening out in LA, and I needed to get out there, as soon as I could."

Led Zeppelin – Physical Graffiti (1975)

Reed: "That was definitely a headphones record for me, after smoking a joint, late at night. I loved 'Trampled Underfoot'. And 'Into The Light', that’s amazing. But just the entire thing, y’know? There was a sense of 'What song shall I explore now?' – and there were so many to choose from, going off in so many different directions. There’s a lot of John Paul Jones’s keyboard stuff on there that just changed the way I felt about everything. Physical Graffiti had that mystique that Led Zeppelin invented. They were untouchable, they were amazing, and it all shone through on that record."
