Also;

all of those except Karnivool have been pressed

 

What. I have KWAS, Deep Blue and Atlas but I want Horizons more than any of them and I've never seen it pressed?

I suppose I could give this a go.  I'm not going to number them because that would just add to the anxiety of identifying my top 10 lol.

 

Jimmy Eat World - Clarity

Paul McCartney - Ram

Fall Out Boy - Take This To Your Grave

Brand New - Deja Entendu

Death Cab For Cutie - Transatlanticism

Toad The Wet Sprocket - Dulcinea

The Juliana Theory - Emotion Is Dead

The Beatles - Rubber Soul

The Early November - The Room's Too Cold

Ben Howard - Every Kingdom

 

 

I felt I needed to put one newer release in the bunch.

 

Dulcinea is a great album

1. Radiohead - In Rainbows (including Disc 2)

- Favourite album by my favourite band. Disc 2 was just as good, if not better, than disc 1. Anyone who hasnt listened to it, go check out 'Go Slowly' and 'Last Flowers to the Hospital'.

 

2. John Mayer - Room for Squares

- Mayer got me into music, and as cheesey as it sounds nowadays, and as much as my music taste has evolved, i'll never grow out of this album. You're going to judge me for this. I couldn't give a fuck.

 

3. City and Colour - Little Hell

- IMO his most solid album, from start to finish, not even half a bad song. Last 3 songs on the album are by far the strongest, most emotionally intense and meaningful album closers ive ever come across.

 

4. A Perfect Circle - Mer de Noms

- As much as i love Tool, their album fillers never really clicked with me. Mer de Noms hit the nail on the head with me and its probably my favourite maynard album of all time.

 

5. Something for Kate - Echolalia

- You've probably never heard of SFK unless you live in Australia. Incredible piece of work from start to finish, i urge you to check it out :)

 

6. Silverchair - Diorama

- Another Aussie band, light and shade apleanty here, and cost me an arm and a leg to get it on wax :X

 

7. The Weeknd - Trilogy

- Technically 3 albums. Incredible from start to finish.

 

8. Radiohead - Hail to the Thief

- Probably their most underrated piece of work. Sail to the Moon will stand out as one of my favourite Radiohead songs of all time.

 

9. SBTRKT - SBTRKT

- Helped me bridge a gap in my musical tastes, Sampha's voice is chilling.

 

10. Pearl Jam - Yield

- Had to throw a PJ album in that wasnt Ten...

Good call on the Floyd - Animals. It was a toss between this and Dark Side for me. Its actually the only PF I still listen to regularly. Great choice.

My top 10---These are just albums that shaped my life in some form. Not saying these are the best albums of all time talent wise but they just mean a lot to me personally.

 

 

In no order

 

New Found Glory-Self Titled- This was THE album that got me into the majority of stuff I like today. Before I had heard this, I was probably listening to whatever was on alternative rock radio. The year was 2000, I was in 8th grade and remember seeing the music video for "Hit or Miss" one morning before I went to school. It was the first time I had ever heard a song that made me feel something immediately after hearing it. Something about it just connected with me at the time. That week, I mowed my Grandma's lawn for 20 bucks and then had my dad take me to best buy to pick up the CD. Everything from there is history.

 

The MovieLife-40 HR Train Back To Penn - I still listen to this 2-3 times a week. I still get amped up everytime I hear the first note to the song "Jamestown" as I did 10 years ago. Vinnie is probably my favorite vocalist of all time.

 

Daggermouth- Turf Wars- This is probably my favorite album to drive and sing to. Filled with so much fucking energy in a 22 minute album. My friend and I drove 2 and a half hours to go see these guys on what ended up being their last US tour before breaking up. The show they were playing was such a weird lineup. It was 2 locals, Daggermouth, Schoolyard Heroes, and Greeley Estates. We got up there  right around when doors were opening but we didn't care about seeing the local bands play so we decided to go to Panda Express and get some food before heading into the show. We ate and went back to the show and when we got in, we found out the promoter of the show put Daggermouth on first BEFORE the local bands so we missed them.. Daggermouth was the only reason we drove up to the show so after finding that out we just turned around and headed back home. I'm still bummed about that to this very day and now whenever I eat Panda Express, I think of Daggermouth and when I listen to them, It makes me want Panda Express.

 

The Effort-Iconoclasm - I like Hardcore with a meaning. This album defines that for me.

 

Haste The Day-When Everything Falls -Growing up the middle of Illinois, I was fortunate enough to be able to see these guys probably 10-15 times when Jimmy was their vocalist. Seeing these guys in my hometown's shithole VFW remains the most insane show I've ever been to.  I don't listen to this kind of music very much anymore but these guys first 2 albums will always remain very close to me.

 

Brand New-TDAGARIM - I don't have much to say about this one that hasn't already been said 100000 times before on here.

 

Matchbox Twenty-Yourself or Someone Like You - I don't care what people say about this. These guys know how to write excellent pop/rock songs. I think I was in 5th grade when this came out. I remember hearing my sister listen to it all the time and I loved it. I just went and saw these guys live a few months ago and they ruled. People forget how many huge hits these guys have even outside of this album.

 

Third Eye Blind- Third Eye Blind - Like TDAGARIM, I can't say anything that someone hasnt already said about this album

 

Alkaline Trio-Good Mourning - A lot of people like their earlier stuff better but this is THE alk3 record to me. A lot of great memories of late nights with friends with this playing in the background.

 

Jack's Mannequin-Everything in Transit - This is just a flawless album front to back.
