More than a year ago, I posted a bulletin like this on myspace, and I enjoyed putting the list together so much that I decided to reconstruct it (it has long been deleted by the myspace elves) and post it here.
1) Huey Lewis And The News: Sports--the first album I enjoyed listening to.
2) Young MC: Stone Cold Rhymin'--the first album I ever owned.
3) Janet Jackson: Rhythm Nation--the first album I ever bought with my own money.
4) Nirvana: In Utero--the first album I anticipated so anxiously that I bought it on the day it was released.
5) Stereolab: Mars Audiac Quintet--the first album that made me want to be in a band.
6) The Velvet Underground & Nico--the first album that made me feel like I could understand exactly how it was performed.
7) John Coltrane: Giant Steps--the album playing the first time I kissed a girl.
8) The Cannanes: Short Poppy Syndrome--the album playing when I totalled my mom's car.
9) Screaching Weasel: Kill The Musicians--the first (and only) album I was ever disciplined for possessing.
10) The Minutemen: Double Nickels On The Dime--the first album in a decade to make me feel like music can matter.
