I'm really bored, so I'm just going to link to some albums that I dig, for one reason or another. This isn't classic must have albums. It's just stuff I like. There is way more than this.
Wu Tang Clan - Enter The Wu Tang (36 Chambers)I wouldn't be the biggest fan of hip-hop, but this album. The beats. The whole. I can't express it. It's so relevant, even today.
Alanis Moriesette - Jagged Little PillBecause who doesn't love some self-righteous teenage angst?
American Idiot: The Musical (can't find a link anywhere, argh.)
I adore American Idiot like none other, and I really debated to put it in here, but I chose the musical version, mostly because I am a massive musical freak. I love them. This is amazing. It's a rock-musical (now I want to put Spring Awakening in here, ah!) which appeals to me like woah. First time I heard 21 Guns I was blown away.
Avril Lavinge - The Best Damn ThingYeah, I see you rolling your eyes. Don't scorn, this is a great album.
B.O.B. - The Adventures Of Bobby RayThe singles aren't good. The rest, is. Letters From Vietnam, if you download just one track from this album, let it be Letters From Vietnam.
Bikini Kill - The CD Version Of The First Two RecordsRiot Grrl! I'm sure you know my love for riot grrl, just go through my
rants tag. This cd changed my life, no joke.
Diana Vickers - Songs From The Tainted Cherry Tree This may be a mass-market produced album, but it's a good mass-market produced album.
The Dresden Dolls - The Dresden Dolls I love this album so much. The whole ""Brechtian punk cabaret", the term Amanda invented, is right up my pebble-dash lane.
edit: lol wat half this post is gone missing. okay, go get
Frank Turner - England Keep My Bones. That's the most important one out of the list.
