To be honest 2 of them would still be in my list today, and will continue to be; Colors and Toxicity.

Schizotypic

1.Pink Floyd - The Wall
This was the first album I ever heard. My sister showed it to me, sometime between kindergarten and second grade I think. I fell in love with the movie, and to this day still respect the album. Although, lately I've been thinking Pink Floyd has some much better ones.
2.Blink 182 - Enema Of The State
This was the first album I ever had. It was sitting there with Eminem, Smash Mouth, The Backstreet Boys, and The Red Hot Chili Peppers. The only one that stuck with me, that I knew every song of was Blink 182. I followed them for a while.
3.My Chemical Romance - The Black Parade
This is when I stopped only listening to Blink 182 and Red Hot Chili Peppers. It branched me out into things like Papa Roach, Linkin Park, stuff like that.
4.System Of A Down - Hypnotize
I remember when this album was actually out of my comfort zone. This got me leaving all the stuff before it behind. I started liking songs from The Killers, Nirvana, and The Beatles, Guster, some Placebo.
5.Techno, bunches of it
This is around the time I started using drugs. I became a electronic freak, we were just constantly playing it. It started out with more mainstream stuff, then I got into Crystal Castles and The Bloody Beetroots. Eventually I started listening to things that were playing at D.A.N.C.E and stuff, like Steve Aoki, people on his myspace page. I have trouble remember a lot of names because it's been so long, I swore off any type of techno that reminds me of getting high when I stopped using.
6.The Mars Volta - Amputechture
This was right before I went to Rehab. I started listening to full albums, and Amputechture by TMV was my first. Others included Tool, A Perfect Circle, The Blood Brothers.
7.MusicBanter
This is where I am right now. There isn't an album that got me here, I made a list of bands to explore with the aid of some college counselors at Rehab. I just wound up here at MusicBanter. At this point, all within the last few months, my taste in music is constantly in flux. I've downloaded and listened to so much. Nick Cave, PJ Harvey, Andrew Bird, Ornette Coleman, just to name some that I had to adjust to, enjoyably of course. But in reality (although I have no idea what to do with it all) I have a list with about 280-something artists, only about 95 of which have been looked into. And of those 95 is an ocean of downloaded music discographies of this and that, all different, just waiting for me to develop a relationship with. The problem being It takes a while to appreciate music, and I'm addicted to getting more, and more and more.

But at least I'm not listening to The Backstreet Boys anymore.

Aye, but not important to me anymore in the least

10. DROPKICK MURPHYS-BLACK OUT
The first punk album i ever had. I had always enjoyed listening to them but then I got this album and couldn't stop listening to them for a while. Also, it took me out of my "rap phase". Thank God..

9.METALLICA-BLACK ALBUM
One of my ex-girlfriends got me this album for Valentine's Day. I thought it a little strange but I didn't complain. This album got me interested in a heavier/noisier kind of music.

8.BLINK-182-ENEMA OF THE STATE
I heard this album as a young boy and went crazy for it. It had "bad" words in it and inappropriate themes..Which, of course, made me like it even more! One of the first albums i was able to listen all the way through and almost dance to every song to.

7.THE JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE-ARE YOU EXPERIENCED?
This album was my favorite album for a while. I love the guitar on this album. I love it so much that when i heard the song Purple Haze I then knew that i wanted to play guitar and that was the song i wanted to learn how to play.


6. THE VELVET UNDERGROUND-THE VELVET UNDERGROUND & NICO
This album was very inspirational for song writing and the way I sing. Also, the noise and feedback in it was great.

5.GUNS 'N ROSES-APPETITE FOR DESTRUCTION
First album I ever bought. I heard the song Paradise City on the radio and I dragged my mom into my room and was like, "Who is this?! I really like it. I want it!". So the following week I went to the record store with my mom and bought the album. It's also the first album I was able to listen to beginning to end.

4.JOY DIVISION-THE BEST OF JOY DIVISION
I saw the Love Will Tear Us Apart music video and i couldn't get the song out of my head. So i watched the Joy Division documentary because my dad said it was an interesting story. I fell more and more in love with their music. I then watched the movie(i think it's called Control) about Ian Curtis. After watching both of those, I went to the record store and they said the only cd they had was the greatest hits and it was being mailed to them and it'd be there soon. I listened to it and it expanded my music variety even more.

3.SONIC YOUTH-GOO
First Sonic Youth album I bought. I was playing rock band with my mom(I guess I'm a momma's boy) and she bought the song Kool Thing. I couldn't get it out of my head so i went to the record store and bought Goo. I loved every single one of the songs. It made me more interested in noise and Sonic Youth.

2.MY BLOODY VALENTINE-LOVELESS
This album..wow. I HATED it the first time I listened to it. I read the review on a website and I figured that I must get it and hopefully I'd like it. When i bought it at the record store the guy said it was a classic and he knew I would like it. I HATED it. But, then it grew and grew and grew on me. Til the point where I couldn't get enough. This album made me fall in love with noise. This album made me fall in love with shoegaze.

1. WILCO-YANKEE HOTEL FOXTROT
This is the album that showed me that I had to listen to music more than once to fully grasp it and to even like it. This is the first album that grew on me like that. My friend let me borrow it and I listened to it once before falling asleep and I thought, "Wow, I really don't like this..but, it sounds kind of nice and it's easy to fall asleep to so I'll listen to it before i fall alseep from now on." So kept listening to it. Then, i started liking each song. I started to enjoy the whole album which I'd only use as noise so i could fall asleep.

There's my list. 1 being the most important. So, what you think?

YHF is criminally overrated. if you have any appreciation for country music i highly recommend Being There, an impressive fusion five years prior to the birth of the alt-country plague.
