That's right, pick ten albums that made you who you are today. I'll start:

1) Oasis - Definitely Maybe
2) Mansun - Six
3) Pavement - Terror Twilight
4) Radiohead - The Bends
5) Radiohead - OK Computer
6) The Beta Band - 3 EPs
7) Beck - Midnight Vultures
8) Led Zeppelin - II
9) Blur - The Great Escape
10) Super Furry Animals - Radiator

There's loads more (Supergrass, Pulp, more Blur, more Beck), but these are the albums that I really enjoy and can go back to time and time again, and I draw influence from when making sweet, sweet music.

I don't think I could take one or two albums from a band, it's more of a band's work as a whole. Take Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti, II, IV, I, III and the power of their live shows from How The West Was Won all have had an effect on me.

I realise I'm sitting on the fence again. So sue me.

Linkin Park are filled with angry teenage angst.

All my other albums are very depressing.

Anger is a good alternative.

Dringo's real answer = I couldn't think of ten.

Feeder, Clarity, Box Car Racer, The Story So far ande Hybrid Theory has undoubtably been the biggest influence... I didn't really listen to music before all that.

Red Hot Chili Peppers- Californication, showed me my true love of music.

" " " " " " " " " " "- By the way, my expectations were surpassed.

Rancid- Indestructible, proves that I have a secret love for punk rock.

Linkin Park- Reanimation, much more than just a lousy remix.

Idlewild- The Remote Part, one of my favourite albums, and has started my search for 1,000 broken windows.

InMe- Overgrown Eden, grows on you like a beard on steroids. Awesome.

Forget the other 4 because the ain't as good.
