These aren't my favorite albums, just the ones that played vital roles in my music development.

1 being the most important...

10 - As Cities Burn - Son I Loved You At Your Darkest
This cd is probably my favorite album to listen to from start to finish. Captivating album driven by so many different styles of music, hard to pass this one up.

9 - Unearth - The Oncoming Storm

This cd was my gateway into modern metal, very well written album as well.

8 - Iron Maiden - ...Edward the Great (Greatest Hits)

Soon after Thrice was introduced to me I wanted to figure out where all the inspiration was coming from for some of the artists I was listening to at the time. I fell in love with Maiden, never looked back since.

7 - At the Drive-In - Relationship of Command

My sister had this cd when it first came out and i stumbled upon it in 6th grade. Such an unbelievable first glimpse at alternative for me.

6 - Blink 182 - Take Off Your Pants and Jacket

This album sparked my interest in singing. I've been a Blink 182 fan since "Dammit" came out haha. Don't care what anyone says, these guys can make some decent music =]

5 - Norma Jean - O' God the Aftermath

First metalcore album I owned, I was listening to Underoath a lot in 8th-9th grade and one thing lead to another and I started listening to these guys. Pretty amazing album.

4 - Modest Mouse - Building Nothing Out Of Something

Like I've mentioned in other threads, this album changed the way I look at writing music, lyrics and my world view. Brilliant album made from the boys from WA.

3 - Jimmy Hendrix - Axis:Bold As Love

Started playing guitar to this album. Can't argue with that haha.

2 - A Wilhelm Scream - Mute Print

First punk based cd that I ever really got into, but these guys blew me away when I first heard them.

*drum roll........*

1 - Thrice - Artist In An Ambulance

Alright...so when I first heard "All That's Left" on MTV2 (back when MTV2 played music videos 100% of the time) I basically popped off my couch and listened to every second with all the attention I could put forth. This cd opened more doors than any other album/band/song/anything has done for me music-wise. I still look at it as one of the best albums written in the last 10 years.

and there you have it!
