10. DROPKICK MURPHYS-BLACK OUT
The first punk album i ever had. I had always enjoyed listening to them but then I got this album and couldn't stop listening to them for a while. Also, it took me out of my "rap phase". Thank God..

9.METALLICA-BLACK ALBUM
One of my ex-girlfriends got me this album for Valentine's Day. I thought it a little strange but I didn't complain. This album got me interested in a heavier/noisier kind of music.

8.BLINK-182-ENEMA OF THE STATE
I heard this album as a young boy and went crazy for it. It had "bad" words in it and inappropriate themes..Which, of course, made me like it even more! One of the first albums i was able to listen all the way through and almost dance to every song to.

7.THE JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE-ARE YOU EXPERIENCED?
This album was my favorite album for a while. I love the guitar on this album. I love it so much that when i heard the song Purple Haze I then knew that i wanted to play guitar and that was the song i wanted to learn how to play.


6. THE VELVET UNDERGROUND-THE VELVET UNDERGROUND & NICO
This album was very inspirational for song writing and the way I sing. Also, the noise and feedback in it was great.

5.GUNS 'N ROSES-APPETITE FOR DESTRUCTION
First album I ever bought. I heard the song Paradise City on the radio and I dragged my mom into my room and was like, "Who is this?! I really like it. I want it!". So the following week I went to the record store with my mom and bought the album. It's also the first album I was able to listen to beginning to end.

4.JOY DIVISION-THE BEST OF JOY DIVISION
I saw the Love Will Tear Us Apart music video and i couldn't get the song out of my head. So i watched the Joy Division documentary because my dad said it was an interesting story. I fell more and more in love with their music. I then watched the movie(i think it's called Control) about Ian Curtis. After watching both of those, I went to the record store and they said the only cd they had was the greatest hits and it was being mailed to them and it'd be there soon. I listened to it and it expanded my music variety even more.

3.SONIC YOUTH-GOO
First Sonic Youth album I bought. I was playing rock band with my mom(I guess I'm a momma's boy) and she bought the song Kool Thing. I couldn't get it out of my head so i went to the record store and bought Goo. I loved every single one of the songs. It made me more interested in noise and Sonic Youth.

2.MY BLOODY VALENTINE-LOVELESS
This album..wow. I HATED it the first time I listened to it. I read the review on a website and I figured that I must get it and hopefully I'd like it. When i bought it at the record store the guy said it was a classic and he knew I would like it. I HATED it. But, then it grew and grew and grew on me. Til the point where I couldn't get enough. This album made me fall in love with noise. This album made me fall in love with shoegaze.

1. WILCO-YANKEE HOTEL FOXTROT
This is the album that showed me that I had to listen to music more than once to fully grasp it and to even like it. This is the first album that grew on me like that. My friend let me borrow it and I listened to it once before falling asleep and I thought, "Wow, I really don't like this..but, it sounds kind of nice and it's easy to fall asleep to so I'll listen to it before i fall alseep from now on." So kept listening to it. Then, i started liking each song. I started to enjoy the whole album which I'd only use as noise so i could fall asleep.

There's my list. 1 being the most important. So, what you think?
