"The "ten albums that defined you" thread"

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.

Nah, that's all scratched now. And I think I might have thrown my Stonk EP out. Probably worth loads now, AND it had a Victoria Wood B-Side.

Finch - What it is to Burn
Slipknot - Slipknot
Blink 182 - Take Off Yourr Pants and Jacket
Thrice - Identity Crisis
Poison the Well - You come before you
System of a Down - Toxicity
Ataris - So Long Astoria
Slipknot - Iowa
Brand new - Your Favourite Weapon

The very soon new Funeral For A friend Album -

Casually Dressed and deep in conversation.

Thats gonna be the best album in the world ! (in my opinion)

Erm, too many to name, but these spring to mind...

Tool -'Aenima'
Tool -'Lateralus'
A Perfect Circle - 'Thirteenth Step'
Dillinger Escape Plan - 'Calculating Infinity'
Clutch - 'The Elephant Riders'
Korn - 'Korn'
Candiria - '100% Density'
Massive Attack - '100th Window'
Fear Factory - 'Demanufacture'
Rollins Band - 'Weight'

Gah. Far too many to mention, I feel guilty cause' I've missed out the likes of: Prong, Helmet, Burnt By The Sun, Far, Deftones, Quicksand, Chili Peppers, Aphex Twin, Led Zeppelin, Sabbath, Sepultura, Slayer, Pantera, Drowningman, Blood Has Been Shed, Killswitch Engage, Jimmy Eat World, Silverchair, Nirvana...

The list goes on and on and on and on...

Jimmy Eat World - Clarity
Box Car Racer - Box Car Racer
Feeder - Comfort in Sound
Spunge - The Story So far
Meat Loaf - Bat Out of Hell
Idlewild - The Remote Part
Sum 41 - Does this look infected?
Blink 182 - Dude Ranch
Linkin Park - Meteora
Limp Bizkit - Results May Vary

Most of those albums came out within the last few months, I think you're missing the point.

Dire Straits - Communiqué
Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms
Tabitha's Secret - Don't Play with Matches
Joe Satriani - Surfing with the Alien
Counting Crows - August and Everything After
Mark Knopfler - Sailing to Philadelphia
Iron Maiden - Seventh Son of a Seventh Son
Eric Johnson - Venus Isle
Steve Vai - Passion and Warfare
Levellers - Levelling the Land

They are all recentish, but being as I'm still fairly young, anything I bought before these tended to be chart crap, and more likely given to be than purchased myself - certainly nothing which has left a lasting effect on me as a person. I hope.

Glad to see someone else mention Vai and Satriani.

The Levellers = Gypsies
