Hipster Detritus has an interesting post- 75 Albums That Changed Everything For Me (scroll to the bottom of the page). No commentary, so I guess the reason I liked it was because a lot the albums in the list were important to me, too. I don't even want to tackle writing out a list of the albums that shaped my musical tastes because I would either come up with about 6 or 200. More important -in my memory- than albums would be just a few songs. A rough and very quick attempt at a list comes up with: Don't Dream It's Over, Here Today, Loving Cup and Happy, Jeremy, Still D.R.E., Dissolved Girl, High & Dry, Least Complicated, 9 Straight Lines, Let Forever Be.
