  Album Artist notes
1. Amnesiac Radiohead i scorned them for transcending "experimentation" into the realm of "being artistically misunderstood and sucking hard for it", but now this is one of my favorite albums of all-time
2. Bat Out Of Hell Meat Loaf quirky
3. Relish Joan Osborne could NEVER get tired of this album, enjoying it since 1997.
4. Moby 18
5. X And Y Coldplay

"18" helped me get through a hangover one day. I've loved it ever since.

  Album Artist notes
1. Siamese Dream Smashing Pumpkins i got this album in third grade and never listened to it except for disarm. now, it's on my top five albums list
2. Hail To The Theif Radiohead i drove 11 hours each way to see these guys and hated this album until i had. now, i can't get enough
3. Chutes Too Narrow The Shins i was pretty closed minded, as most of you think i am. this album has two sounds, and i still don't like one of them. but the album as a whole is stellar
4. How It Feels To Be Something On Sunny Day Real Estate stefan played this for me a few years ago and i didn't think too much of it. but somehow it got stuck in my head when i was on the beach in florida and i've been in love with it ever since
5. Hymns For The Exiled Anias Mitchell my friend played this for me a few years back and i couldn't stand it. then, something clicked a few weeks ago and now i really dig it

sorry i keep posting album lists that no one is interested in except for a select few
