    hey, stoneg. i must first start off by telling you that you have inducted me into jeff tweedydom as well as robertpollarddom, so their records may be changing my life at this very moment!

    my non - chronological list would be something like this:

    abbey road. i remember when it came out and my oldest sister played it for me and i liked it as a kid.
    the who - who's next
    the replacements - tim/let it be
    pj -vitalogy or no code
    bowie -ziggy stardust
    the stones - sticky fingers

    * Nirvana - Nevermind.....introduced me to grunge (I wore so much flannel in highschool - ouch)

    ...after my GRUNGE phase I moved on and these next 2 "sets" of albums are what lead me to where I am now musically....

    * Sonic Youth - Dirty + Sebadoh - Bakesale + Eric's Trip - Love Tara.....got into all of them around the same time, my introduction to lo-fi/indie/noise rock

    * Spiritualized - Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space + Slowdive - Souvlaki + My Bloody Valentine - Loveless....my introduction to shoegazer/space rock
    In my world everyone is a pony,
    and they all eat rainbows and pooh butterflies!
