American Idiot, Green Day. A CLASSIC FOR THE AGES. Happy 20th birthday to the faggot America
Appetite for Destruction, Guns N' Roses. Still can't believe this was a debut album! the amount of bangers it contained. The influence it had. INSANE.
guts, Olivia Rodrigo. Call it recency bias, but I love it. Total 'no tracks skipped' kind of album, gold tier sophomore album, amazing extended version b-tracks. EYE keep saying, it would have been my whole personality for like a year if it'd come out when I was in the target age range. As it is I just think it fucks.
High Violet, The National. SO many of my faves in a single album! I play it daily in September when it starts to get dark a bit earlier in the evenings and I want to feel sad. Album of all time.
Ladra Di Vento, Giorgia. CANNOT EXPLAIN what she meant to my brain development as a pre-teen but this album was my fave and it still fucks. Amazing voice. Formative crush.
this was SO hard btw, making a top 10 would've been easier... so many faves left on the cutting room floor. I loooved this question
