In no particular order:

Smash Mouth - Astro Lounge
One of the first albums I ever bought. I remember singing along to All Star back in 4th grade... pretty much the reason I'm into music today.
Green Day - International Superhits
Another early album purchase, also one of the first with CUSS WORDS! I remember feeling so dirty while listening to Long View.
Brand New - Deja Entendu
A mutual respect for this band/album was actually an important part of a relationship I was in towards the end of High School. They're also my most played artist on iTunes.
The Faint - Danse Macabre
One of my favorite artists around the time I got my first iPod. ('04 I think?) Though it's not great, Agenda Suicide is one of my favorite tracks of all time for the nostalgia factor.
Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory
Another one that takes me back to the good old days in school. All the friends that I shared this album with back then all still love it to death.
The Strokes - Is This It?
I remember reading that the album was exceptionally praised by critics everywhere, which marked the period where I started reading music publications and critic reviews.
Led Zeppelin - Mothership
Nostalgia. My father loved to play Classic Rock (everywhere; in the house, car, etc) as I grew up, and as a result, I'm able to recognize essentially every major hit from the 60s and 70s. It wasn't until recently that I made it a project to identify and acquire all these infamous tracks that shaped my childhood.
The Rolling Stones - Forty Licks
See above
Blink-182 - Dude Ranch
I think this album is the reason I begged my parents for an Electric Guitar, which I lugged over to my neighbor's house several times a week so we could "jam" together. (If you could call it that; it was more like loud, incoherent, and obnoxious garble. But it made us happy)
Pinback - Summer In Abaddon
I think this album is the reason I expanded my taste into the softer and more experimental (in other words, not-rock) side of music. Great effin album, too.

edit: f*ck, totally forgot about
Guster - Ganging Up on the Sun
Excellent album, love the band, absolutely need to see them live at some point in my life

Green Day - American Idiot

Started me off. I really doubt I would have any passion for music if not for it.

Kind of Like Spitting - Thrill of the Hunt


My all-time favorite album. I don't think anything means quite so much to me, just based on how much it reminds me of some very important teenage experiences (basically the soundtrack to making my first new friends in high school).

Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation

Destroyed my philosophy on music in seconds, and rendered most of my collection up to this point worthless.

American Football - American Football

Stay Home speaks to me the way no other song does lyrically.

Godspeed You! Black Emperor - F#A#oo

My first taste of true, textured, elongated and original post-rock.

Radiohead - The Bends

One of the first albums I somehow felt like I'd heard (due to my sister playing it constantly). Very very very VERY nostalgic.

Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon

This pulled me out of a long-term Green Day/Billy Talent/AC/DC phase.

Phil Ochs - There But for Fortune Compilation

I didn't think I could like Bob Dylan, and I never knew why. So I fell in love with this first. I will always see him as a more sincere and brilliant Bob Dylan, even though I have come to terms with the fact that some of Bob Dylan's catalogue is indeed in the same ballpark.

John Coltrane - Sun Ship

Got me interested in jazz, and by association a lot of other brilliant things.

Nickelback - All the Right Reasons

Not a joke entry. This legitimately taught me what was wrong with music, and what I knew I hated to be associated with.
