Okay, I'm going to jump the bandwagon and RE-DO my list of albums that made me who I am. I'll limit it to 10 albums. Like I said in my last journal that I posted like this, these aren't my favorites, but most influential. Kind of the same thing, right?
1. Radiohead - In Rainbows
This was the first Radiohead album I listened to. I know, I'm late to jump the bandwagon, but better late than never, right? This album introduced me to my favorite and most influential band. I like OK Computer and Kid A more, definitely, but this is the album that started it all for me.
2. Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea
This was sort of my stepping stone to the "indie" genre, I guess. I haven't once gotten tired of this album. NOT ONCE.
3. Red Hot Chili Peppers - Californication
I'm almost embarrassed to admit that this album's so important to me! This was my first CD that I ever listened to. I was obsessed with it when I was a kid. I still remember the first time I popped it in and listened to the entire album.
4. MGMT - Congratulations
I know that this is pretty recent, but... God damn it's good. MGMT might not be my favorite band, but this album was put together so beautifully.
5. Cold War Kids - Robbers & Cowards
Have you listened to this yet? Go do it now. That's all I have to say.
6. Bright Eyes - I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning
Conor Oberst has this amazing ability to get into my soul. This album has helped me with a lot. I've listened to this after breakups, before work to get me uplifted... actually, I just listen to this all the time.
7. Modest Mouse - The Moon and Antarctica
It's Modest Mouse!
8. Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavilion
I can't even tell you why this album is so important to me. I really can't.
9. The Antlers - Hospice
This is the only album that's made me cry. It's so emotionally charged, I wasn't expecting it to be as good and as powerful as it is.
10. Josh Ritter - The Historical Conquests of Josh Ritter
Damnit. I want to be Josh Ritter so badly.

It's sad that I couldn't tell you who Phil Collins is. ;(
or his most popular song In the Air Tonight? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkADj0TPrJA&ob=av2e
I know that second song, though! I like it. :D
