Alright I'll get the ball rolling

Californication-Red Hot Chili Peppers
Nirvana Unplugged in New York
Jimmy Eat World-Bleed American
Pixes-Doolittle

Radiohead-Kid A

Say Anything- Is a Real Boy
Between the Buried and Me-Alaska

Pretty hard to narrow it down to just 10 since I'm still being influenced by new music. If I had to go most influential, it's going to be stuff from growing up, teens and early 20s. Each album grabbed me for different reasons.

Beach Boys, The - Pet Sounds
Beatles, The - The Beatles
Pink Floyd - The Wall
Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures
Michael Jackson - Thriller
Nirvana - Nevermind
Nine Inch Nails - Pretty Hate Machine
Silverchair - Frogstomp
Rage Against the Machine - Rage Against the Machine
Radiohead - OK Computer

I have also seen Btbam in a room about the size of my bedroom once with Norma Jean. Only about 50 people max could fit in there. Insane show.

[loisestrad]

In no particular order, except for the first one which feels like the most radical gamechanger of my life (music - wise, obviously...)


1. My Dying Bride - Turn Loose the Swans
2. Sisters of Mercy - Some Girls Wander By Mistake
3. Amorphis - Tales from the Thousand Lakes
4. Tori Amos - Boys for Pele

6. Nirvana - Nevermind
7. Xeno and Oaklander - Sentinelle
8. Bjork - Debut
9. Ataraxia - Saphir
10. Veruca Salt - American Thighs

Edit: Yeah, I'm in my thirties, I realize there's no albums here from this decade. Newest one is probably Xeno and Oaklander - Sentinelle, from late 2009.

Nice. The first time I saw them was with strapping young lad in a pretty small venue it was an awesome show. The second time I saw them was at ozfest which wasn't that great they only played about half an hour. Norma Jean was there also.

I did see underoath play an awesome show in 2006 with my ex. I'm pretty sure them and Norma Jean share a few members.
