"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.

How could I miss out Nirvana - Nevermind

1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Counting Crows ~ All albums (including Across A Wire);
6. Ben Folds Five ~ Whatever And Ever Amen
7. Radiohead ~ The Bends
8. Radiohead ~ Ok Computer (listening to the Glasto '97 performance of Exit Music right now)
9. Oasis ~ Definitely Maybe
10. Red Hot Chili Peppers ~ Californication

2 of those albums did.

And I have just come through a big change in my life, changing who I am and how i react (going to Uni and stuff also aids this) and it was the recent Limpbizkit album that has helped shape my reaction to the situation.

Linkin Park's new album has made me a lot less soft... and albums like Clarity and Box Car Racer have had the biggest effect on my rather depressive state of mind.

1) Appetite for Destruction - Guns n roses
2) Incesticide - Nirvana
3) Vulgar Display of Power - Pantera
4) CITY - Strapping Young Lad
5) Live in Milan - NOFX
6) Sex and Religion - Steve Vai
7) Frogstomp - Silverchair
8) Storytellers - Johnny Cash & Willie Nelson
9) Earth vs The Wildhearts - The Wildhearts
10) Korn - Korn

a few of those don't get much of a lookin these days, but they definately shaped who i am now...

others that didn't quite make it:
Definately, Maybe - Oasis
Parklife - Blur
New Transistor Heros - BIS
the black album - Metallica

Heheh, almost everyone has Radiohead on the list!

No order.
1. Alanis Morissette - Jagged Little Pill/Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie
2. Travis - The Man Who
3. Turin Brakes - The Optimist
4. Carole King - Tapestry
5. Moby - Play
6. RTP OST

Some of those albums I hate now, but were a definate memory.

Radiohead - The Bends
Mansun - Attack Of The Grey Lantern
Oasis - Whats The Story? (Morning Glory)
Gomez - Bring It On
Nirvana - Nevermind
Foo Fighters - Foo Fighters
Rage Against The Machine - Rage Against The Machine
Eminem - The Slim Shady LP
Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Californication
The Finest 'Arvest Of The Wurzels - The Wurzels.
