20 Albums

I saw this super neat list of Top 20 Most Influential Albums over at Kara's blog, Sunshine Cupcakes. If you haven't checked out her blog you totally should- she is hilarious. So I thought I'd do my own. Let me just say it was super hard to do this.

As I kept brainstorming more and more things came to mind. I decided to stick with albums that had an impact, not only on my musical tastes today, but also albums that inspire me- you know, the ones that give you that feeling in your gut. So here goes!

1. Smashing Pumpkins- Melancholy and the Infinite Sadness
2. Thursday- Full Collapse
3. Alice Cooper- Trash
4. Interpol- Turn on the Bright Lights
5. Saves The Day- Stay What you Are
6. Blink182*
7. Casiotone for the Painfully Alone- Etiquette
8. Pedro the Lion- Winners Never Quit
9. Death Cab for Cutie- The Photo Album
10. Dashboard Confessional- Swiss Army Romance
11. Fischerspooner- #1
