that covers adolescence pretty much... but I could have added several more Sonic Youth for example.
2 Pink Floyd - dark side of the moon (maybe the best album ever made!!)
3 Eric B. & Rakim - paid in full (Rakim single handedly changed the whole rap game)
4 Motley Crue - shout at the devil (say what you will about the crue,when this shit dropped it was huge,still a classic IMO)
5 Pearl Jam - Ten (who's this wild eyed dude that actually has something to say?,i was hooked from the get-go)
2nd five
Aerosmith - get your wings
Ac/Dc - Back in black
Van Halen - self titled
Emerson,lake & palmer - works vol. 1 (musician Extraordinaires !!)
Immortal Technique - revolutionary vol. 1 (shows rap doesn't have to be ignorant,womanizing bullshit)
Primus - Frizzle Fry. This was the album that got me into rock music. I listened to a lot of rap then.
Beatles - White Album. Happiness Is A Warm Gun. I had heard of the Beatles before but this is the first album by them that I listened to all the way through.
Pearl Jam - VS. I liked Ten but this album blew me away.
Body Count - You guys may give me guff for this one but it was my first uncensored album.
Hum - You'd Prefer An Astronaut. The sonic landscapes on this album took me to a different place. The weed may have helped.
Rush - Moving Pictures
Ozzy - Blizzard of Oz
Iron Maiden - Number of the Beast
KISS -- just Kiss, from then on I was freaking hooked and I'm thinking that was like 3rd or 4th grade and these others came WAAAAY later, So really I'd have to say KISS ALIVE II.

KISS is the shit and anyone who disagrees doesn't enjoy a true fucking rock show. these guys put on one spectacular show, and have been really the only cool band that's gotten away with selling out, because in all honesty. it's fucking KISS man!

Had such a huge impact I can't even tell you. When I listened to it first, I just walked around school in a daze... I didn't know what was going on, I was just listening to it on repeat. Must have listened to it around 100 times in one school week.
Led Zeppelin.
As a band, they probably got me into music more seriously.
Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream.
Again, an amazing album. Was in awe of it. Coincidentally, I bought tickets to a Pumpkins show BEFORE I had really listened to them. I started listening to this and was awe-struck. Then saw them live and properly caught the Live bug.
Rage Against The Machine - RATM
Brilliant. Just Brilliant.
Queen - Platinum Collection
The band that most likely, got me into music. I had listened to music before obviously, but not obsessively, I liked Oasis etc etc. But when I got this greatest hits after hearing Bohemian Rhapsody from a friend, I listened to it for weeks and weeks. It started there I suppose.
All in all though, it was Pearl Jam that defined my teenage years, and they still do. I am finished school this year and am seeing them a week after my final exams. Poignant end to my childhood.
Very little new on list list for people...
Aerosmith- Pump: My first move into music that wasn't my parents
Pearl Jam- Ten: I wore out the cassette
REM- Automatic for the People: This was as serious as it got
Nirvana- Nevermind: Blew my adolescent mind!
Counting Crows- August and Everything After: Inspired my crappy high school poetry phase

Elton John- Yellow Brick Road, Captain Fantastic
Kiss - Destroyer, Rock and Roll Over
Queen - News of the World (they were my first two concerts, both at MSG)
Van Halen - Van Halen, Women and Children First
