What album effected you the most in your life or which was your overall favorite? For me it is between BTW and ARTPOP for one helped me find my sexuality and the other helped me find my creative rebellious spirit.(!)
Honestly, none of her albums have had an impact on my life but in regards to making an empowering statement, I would have to go with the "Born This Way' album because it came out right around the time that Gay Pride month was underway and in my city, that song alone was powerful among the gay community. The remaining songs on the album was a non-stop dance fest that put me in the mind of Donna Summer who albums focused on a non-stop dance theme.
I'm particularly fond of The Fame as it's essentially the soundtrack of the days when I was young and innocent and went to my first gay clubs... something I haven't done in years. Those were very happy days.
If I say Fame Monster doesn't it also include Fame? None of the above is missing from your poll. Tho enjoy listening all of them... well not Cheek to Cheek as didn't like her pick of songs for that album. I am most touched by her "Till it happens to you" song. Not an album but a single.
