This was really weird to do. These albums all come from different times in my life, and thinking about some of them that I haven't heard in a long time brought back a lot of memories. Some of them were from my younger days, when I was in high school and when I was on tour, and it made me really miss the way things were back then. Others were from when I was using pretty hard, so they brought up a lot of those feelings. Still more were from right after I got clean, so they remind me of the things I would do then. I always knew that music had power, but doing this really proved it to me.

Cake is overrated...my friends tried to get me to listen to Cake but they hyped it up so much that it was a huge disappointment when I realized they have next to no talent...but thats just my opinion.

Funny you should say that, considering the lack of talent in your top 25: Paramore, Less Than Jake, Sum 41, etc.

*high fives Halo*

Cake has a few good songs. So does Less Than Jake. Sum 41 is actually a band that has a lot of talent, but they use it to write cheesy pop-punk songs. If they wrote songs that showed off a little more of what they can actually do, I bet people would like them a lot more. Paramore is just meh.

Shits and giggles

Good list
Sam's Town should be replaced with Sawdust or Hot Fuss, and Ok Computer should be Hail to the Thief or atleast a little higher on the list. Also Origin of Symmetry is my favorite album, ever

Sam's Town is my favorite Killers album, but Hot Fuss is amazing, Daddy's Eyes is one of their best tracks IMO and Day and Age is also good. All around they're amazing, especially the Why Don't You Find Out For Your Self? cover.

I just went through everything I had saved, put down every album i had 5 or more songs of, then filled it up from there. Doing this has made me realize that I listen to a whole lot of pop music, which is odd considering I don't like to write pop music. Ah, muse.

I'm honestly not a big fan of The Mechanical Hand :/

Edit: NO WAIT I MEANT R. BORLAX, I GOT THEM MIXED UP AAAAAAH

Excluding best of albums and compilations...
These are based on my ability to listen to them again and again. Even my ability to remember song lengths and every song in their order on the album. Also its ability to not feel dated or old like Nirvana's Nevermind.
