Damn, it's really tempting to try and sneak a couple extra onto this list.

Wow...this might be tough. Partly because I love so much different music, and partly because I haven't bought that many different albums lately...either way, here goes nothing (in no particular order):

1. Death Cab For Cutie-transatlanticism
2. Death Cab For Cutie- The Forgotten Love
3. Death Cab For Cutie- Photobooth
4. Death Cab For Cutie-We've Got The Facts and We're Voting Yes
5. 311-311
6. Sublime-Sublime
7. The Postal Service-Give Up
8. The Perishers- Let There Be Morning
9. Greenday-Dookie
10. Nirvana- Nevermind (don't listen to it that much anymore, but it was definitely influential in my musical upbringing)
11. Third Eye Blind- Third Eye Blind
12. Dr. Dre- 2001
13. HIM- Razorblade Romance
14. Bush- Sixteen Stone
15. Wallflowers-Bringing Down the Horse
16. No Doubt- Tragic Kingdom
17. Fastball- All The Pain Money Can Buy
18. Eve 6- Eve 6
19. Eve 6- Horrorscope
20. Lit- A Place in the Sun

Wow! That was easier than I thought. My only problem was trying to keep the list down to 20.

Receiving Honorable Mention (aka, they woulda been on this list, but I didn't think of them in time): Any CD EVER put out by Counting Crows, Blessid Union of Souls, Greenday, Deathcab for Cutie (the only albums not making the above list are those I don't yet own, and therefore can't give full reviews for), Eminem, Marcy Playground...well, too many to list, honestly.
