1.Inflammible Material-Stiff Little Fingers
I remember listening to wasted life on one of those funny little tape machines at Youth Club. I still love SLF

2.Feeding the 5000-Crass
Big big influence on me as was Big A Little A and Nagasaki Nightmare

3.Super Trouper-ABBA
Pop really is ok

4.Never Mind the Bollocks-Sex Pistols
Music as rebellion

5.Kings of the Wild Frontier-Adam and the Ants
Shy boy loses inhibitions

6.Wonder Stuff- Eight Legged Groove Machine
And off I went to indiedom, NME and the Melody Maker(I was in the air force it could have been late 80s genesis and Rumours)

7.Louder than Bombs-The Smiths
I didn't like the Smiths I was informed by a friend I wasn't listening right, this is the album that changed that

8.Japanese Whispers-The Cure
The Walk is the reason I love The Cure and possibly Siouxsie and the Banshees(my all times)

9.Low Life-New Order
If I hadn't heard this I may not have gone back and listened to Joy Division

10.Blood Red Shoes-Box of Secrets
A restoration of enthusiasim

apologies to Bowie,Sweet,Lou Reed and many many more artists new and old who have shaped and continue to shape my musical tastes

Putting Adam and the Ants ahead of a Bowie album!!! Thats a brave call.

3. Pink Floyd - The Wall
4. Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms
5. King Crimson - Red
6. Muse - Black Holes & Revelations- this would be on my list too

7. Led Zeppelin - IV
8. Doors - An American Prayer
9. Eminem - The Marshall Matthers LP
10. RHCP - Californication

they really changed not just my music style and taste but my life also. These artists and songs helped me through some hard times in my life... you know...when some song is soo great that when you listen to it, you think that the singer is talking to you or talking about you....this really helps me when I'm down....

If it weren't for music I probably wouldn't be alive right now. Most MBers probably wouldn't be, I'll bet. I've always wondered if this was the reason man created music (or stole it from bird, or whatever we did).

if I could have 11 Low by Bowie, would have been on there, I heard it around about the same time as Kings of the Wild Frontier but I was a kid. I love Bowie now adore his music infact, which probably comes down to Low leaving a lasting impression. These lists are so hard to compile.

I haven't really got a top 10 and they're not necessarily my favourite albums of all time, but here they are;

The Strokes - Is This It
This album blew my freaking mind. It's really awesome and got me into this whole indie rock scene. Plus The Strokes are like the coolest guys ever.

Slint - Spiderland
This album is so important to me because it's one of the most sincere albums of all time.

Tom Waits - Rain Dogs
This man learned me that experimentation matters. In Rain Dogs, Waits uses the weirdest combinations of instruments and makes it sound natural. Plus it kinda taught me that vocals aren't really as important as alot of people would like them to be. It's all about the delivery. So yeah, it changed my perspective on how music should sound.

Boards of Canada - Music Has The Right To Children
Got me into IDM/Electronic music. One of the coolest albums ever.
