1.Pink Floyd - The Wall
This was the first album I ever heard. My sister showed it to me, sometime between kindergarten and second grade I think. I fell in love with the movie, and to this day still respect the album. Although, lately I've been thinking Pink Floyd has some much better ones.
2.Blink 182 - Enema Of The State
This was the first album I ever had. It was sitting there with Eminem, Smash Mouth, The Backstreet Boys, and The Red Hot Chili Peppers. The only one that stuck with me, that I knew every song of was Blink 182. I followed them for a while.
3.My Chemical Romance - The Black Parade
This is when I stopped only listening to Blink 182 and Red Hot Chili Peppers. It branched me out into things like Papa Roach, Linkin Park, stuff like that.
4.System Of A Down - Hypnotize
I remember when this album was actually out of my comfort zone. This got me leaving all the stuff before it behind. I started liking songs from The Killers, Nirvana, and The Beatles, Guster, some Placebo.
5.Techno, bunches of it
This is around the time I started using drugs. I became a electronic freak, we were just constantly playing it. It started out with more mainstream stuff, then I got into Crystal Castles and The Bloody Beetroots. Eventually I started listening to things that were playing at D.A.N.C.E and stuff, like Steve Aoki, people on his myspace page. I have trouble remember a lot of names because it's been so long, I swore off any type of techno that reminds me of getting high when I stopped using.
6.The Mars Volta - Amputechture
This was right before I went to Rehab. I started listening to full albums, and Amputechture by TMV was my first. Others included Tool, A Perfect Circle, The Blood Brothers.
7.MusicBanter
This is where I am right now. There isn't an album that got me here, I made a list of bands to explore with the aid of some college counselors at Rehab. I just wound up here at MusicBanter. At this point, all within the last few months, my taste in music is constantly in flux. I've downloaded and listened to so much. Nick Cave, PJ Harvey, Andrew Bird, Ornette Coleman, just to name some that I had to adjust to, enjoyably of course. But in reality (although I have no idea what to do with it all) I have a list with about 280-something artists, only about 95 of which have been looked into. And of those 95 is an ocean of downloaded music discographies of this and that, all different, just waiting for me to develop a relationship with. The problem being It takes a while to appreciate music, and I'm addicted to getting more, and more and more.

But at least I'm not listening to The Backstreet Boys anymore.
