Everyone who loves music has certain albums that they connect with and can always go back to and listen to and still love the hell out of it. Sometimes its just because the music is that damn or maybe its because it came along at time when a person connected with it whether it is really that great of an album or not.

So, with that in mind, let's pick our favorite ten albums, but only from your lifetime. Ok, we weren't listening to music when we were 2, but from the date of your birth til now. Which are your favorites.

I'm 31 in two weeks, so my 10 in no particular order cuz I don't feel like taxing myself that much on Friday afternoon.....

1. Ten
2. Dirt
3. Eric Clapton Unplugged
4. Back in Black
5. Appetite for Destruction
6. Vs
7. What's the story morning glory
8. Heartbreaker
9. The Rising
10. ....and justice for all
All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all

    Pearl jam- no code
    Toadies- rubberneck
    The Beatles- Rubber soul
    The Beatles- white album
    Stevie wonder- innervisions
    Radiohead- the bends
    Eddie Vedder- Into the wild soundtrack (I know it's new, but at this period in my life, the music just moves me in a way that I need, plus it's a spectacular record).
    Mad season- Above
    The Traveling Wilburys Volume 1 (fueled my soul for rock as a kid, and got me into Petty, Dylan, and I was already a Beatles fanatic.
    Stone Gossard- Bayleaf

    This was SO hard. I picked these albums because they all had songs that I could relate to, and some of them got me started on my rock and roll addiction. Obviously there are more. I want to put some Dylan down on the list, but I didn't completely grasp his music and lyrical meanings until much later. (Only album of his my parents had was '89s "Oh Mercy!)" Great album though, as it was my first experience listening to B Dylan besides the Wilburys.
