15 Albums

I rarely get tagged in those facebook memes due to one (or more) of the following: (1) I rarely reply (2) I mock those requesting my participation if I do reply and (3) people generally despise me. Anyhoo, I cheerfully played along with one called “15 albums” because I would much rather talk about my music interests than my personal interests. And I’m all jacked up on cold meds.

Here’s the instructions:

Think of 15 albums, CDs, LPs that had such a profound effect on you they changed your life. Dug into your soul. Music that brought you to life when you heard it. Royally affected you, kicked you in the wazoo, literally socked you in the gut, is what I mean. Then when you finish, tag 15 others, including me. Make sure you copy and paste this part so they know the drill. Get the idea now? Good. Tag, you’re it!

My list:

1. OK Computer – Radiohead
2. Crooked Rain Crooked Rain – Pavement
3. Clarity – Jimmy Eat World
4. Homogenic – Bjork
5. Adore – Smashing Pumpkins
6. Bona Drag – Morrissey
7. Bread – Best of Bread
8. Blue – Joni Mitchell
9. Boy’s Don’t Cry – The Cure
10. First Band on the Moon – The Cardigans
11. Bread – Best of Bread
12. Hopes and Fears – Keane
13. Surfer Rosa – The Pixies (this should be on everyone’s list eh mike?)
14. No Need To Argue – Cranberries
15. Joshua Tree – U2

Now that I think of it, this might just be the high school me coming out to play today. Huh!
