    Pearl Jam - Ten\Vs.\Vitalogy [sorry,i'm counting it as one. :D ]
    Led Zeppelin - III
    Guns n Roses - Appetite For Destruction
    Jane's Addiction - Nothing's Shocking
    NIN - Pretty Hate Machine

    Would also probably have to include
    The Who - Who Are You OR Meaty Beaty Big And Bouncy
    since i got a turntable and those albums in 9th grade, and just played them constantly. Very "teen angsty" :D
    and
    Nirvana - Incesticide ... i just found that so much more gut-punching than Nevermind.
    If I was to smile and I held out my hand
    If I opened it now would you not understand?

    PJ, vs - just because i got ten when it was already out, but vs was the first album of theirs i got the day it came out. and i remember vividly sitting at my drafting table, walkman on, and hearing RVM and finding myself in absolute tears by the end of it. one of a million powerful moments thanks to this band :)

    PJ, binaural - was going through a lot at the time, i guess it's more of a dark album but it helped really.

    led zep, zoso - on a loop when i was in HS, got me into the rest of the LZ catalog, soundtrack to many fun evenings wiht friends and drawing marathons

    carpenters greatest hits - weird i know, but as a little girl, this got me into singing, memorized every song, ended up in choir at school.

    neil finn, one all - timing in my life really

    i guess it was all about timing lol

    Grateful Dead - Aoxomoxoa, I walked into a record store when I was 14 and this album cover jumped out at me. I was hooked on the dead until this very day. My favorite all time band.

    Pearl Jam - Ten, It all started with this album, :)

    Grateful Dead - American Beauty, One of the Dead's best. Ripple is such a beautiful song. Never saw it live during the few Dead shows I saw. But that song is my favorite Grateful Dead tune. The whole album is great.


    Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream, Freshmen yr in high school this album takes me back too. Good times and bad. lol


    Tie for number five. Nirvana - In Utero and The Black Crowes - Shake your Money Maker. The Crowes were my first rock concert I saw. Love this album so much. Saw Nirvana in Milwaukee 6 months b4 Kurt was found dead. I'll never forget that show and it's my favorite Nirvana album.

    unfortunately when i was a teenager there was no pj.
    so i can't put a pj album in the list.
    but i feel that everything in the list ultimately leads to pj, which came - for me -a few years after i left high school...

    the velvet underground
    the mc5
    james brown
    the jam
    japan


    sorry, i can't even pick single albums by these bands, their entire catalogue changed my life when i was a teenager. the beatles would be in this list but they have always been there, i guess i just take them for granted, they're like air, water, sunshine.

    and if you can't see how a love of japan (the band) could lead to a pj obsession, well... i spose i hear a lot of mick karn in jeffs bass playing.
