Minus the Bear is fantastic. This album's nostalgia just warms my heart every time I listen to it.

9) Dinosaur Jr.: You're Living All Over Me
-----------------------------------------------
I love this album for it's mood, simply put. It's puts me in a somber state of being everytime.

8) Nirvana: Nevermind
-----------------------
I almost never listen to anything from this anymore, but hell it made me who I was back in middle school. This album will undeniably change any pre-teen's life.

7) Velvet Revolver: Contraband
------------------------------------
I HATE THIS BAND BUT I USED TO LIKE SLASH AND LOVE THIS BAND SO SUE ME. VELVET REVOLVER IS HORRIBLE.

6) Tool: Lateralus
------------------------
This album taught me the meaning of good music. Maynard James Keenan is my favorite singer ever (tied with Cedric Bixler-Zavala) and Danny Carey is probably my favorite drummer.

5) Guns N' Roses: Use Your Illusion II
--------------------------------------
I hate Guns N' Roses. However, they used to be my favorite band back in middle school, and while I'm glad I got into music a little more intelligent, I can't deny the impact this and the next two albums had on me.

4) Guns N' Roses: Use Your Illusion I
--------------------------------------
This album in my eyes was great because it had November Rain on it. My former favorite song of all time. Back when I knew too little music to not have a favorite song.

3) Guns N' Roses: Appetite For Destruction
------------------------------------------
YES. I USED TO LOVE GUNS N' ROSES. So naturally, I loved this album as a child.

2) The Mars Volta: De-Loused In The Comatorium
------------------------------------------------
Holy Crap this is the greatest album ever made. Not really, but in my mind it might as well be. In the couple of years this has been out ive listened to it more than any other album except...

1) At The Drive-In: Relationship Of Command
--------------------------------------------
If it wasn't for this album, I would still be stuck listening to Guns N' Roses. I loved this album so much I searched for anything related to it and anything related to THAT which resulted in my current music taste,which I'm quite proud of. It's not the best album ever made. Not even close. But it's important to me as hell. This album makes me want to be in At The Drive-In. This album makes me want to know Omar and Cedric personally. I must have listened to this album every day for two months back when I discovered it. Thank god for At The Drive-In, Omar Rodriguez-Lopez, and Cedric Bixler-Zavala.
