10. Van Morrison - Greatest Hits
This was the first CD I bought, when I was in 6th grade and wanted the song Brown Eyed Girl. Since I spent my hard earned money on it, I listened to every song hundreds of times and learned that there was more to music than what was played on the oldies station.

9. Modest Mouse - This Is A Long Drive For Someone With Nothing To Think About
Modest Mouse were my first obsession in music, and this album started it. I HATED this album the first time hearing it, it was the rawest and ugliest thing I'd ever heard. Now I adore it.

8. Comus - First Utterance
So nasty for acoustic instruments! This is ones of the best (albeit darkest and most terrifying) of folk albums. It's weird, demented, complex, and untouchable.

7. Donovan - Sunshine Superman
The album that got me into psychelic folk, which has long since become my favorite genre. He's my favorite solo musician.

6. Led Zeppelin - III
Just one of my favorite records ever, I have never tired of a single song off it and its one of the only albums I continue to play regularly years later.

5. Gráda- The Landing Step
Grada are a semi-traditional Irish/Celtic band, it is my favorite genre of world music and this is the best example of it from my collection. It's beautiful.

4. Love - Forever Changes
I think this album has my favorite lyrics of the 1960s, along with some of the most beautifully crafted arrangements.

3. Jefferson Airplane - Crown of Creation
I am a psychedelic rock junkie, and these songs are just engraved in me by now. Jefferson Airplane played a rooftop concert even before the Beatles did, and they played my favorite song off this album ("House at Pooneil Corners")

2. The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - Uncle Charlie & His Dog Teddy
Listened to this and realized....country can be amazing. Not to mention the vocals are like smooth southern butter.

1. King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King
This isn't my favorite KC album (I can't choose), but it was my first KC album and my first prog album. It takes me where nothing else in the world can, such a brooding, magical atmopshere.
