Ok, this is really hard if I take it too seriously.
Don’t take it too seriously. This isn’t my version of a Rolling Stone countdown or anything. I can say these albums changed or shaped my love of music sincerely. I can remember the first time I heard each and every one of them. They kind of feel like living entities, or they just have some kind of unexplainable mystical quality that blows my mind. Not that I’m the mystical type.
