| Albums That Changed My Life
The eight albums that have helped shape the way I look at music, society, and life. | | 1 | | Pinkerton
Weezer
Rivers Cuomo plunged into deep depression after the success of the Blue Album. Instead of letting it destroy him, he turned his emotions into the most heart-wrenching album ever recorded. While many of my peers were choosing the easy way out (suicide), Pinkerton helped me realize that bad feelings can be manipulated to serve a purpose. | | 2 |  | The Beatles
Revolver
Upon discovering Revolver, I couldn't sleep. I'd never heard such a brilliant blend of pop brilliance and lyrical substance on an album before. Revolver showed me that there's more power in the art of the album than in the trick of the individual song. | | 3 |  | Say Anything
...Is A Real Boy
I had all but given up on modern music when I first Say Anything's Doghouse Records debut. Full of Bemis' biting, spittle tinged vocals, I knew I'd found an album with more substance than the average modern record. My faith in my generation's music had been restored. | | 4 | | The Dear Hunter
Act II: The Meaning Of, and All Things Regarding, Ms. Leading
While other bands were content with pop rock and standard instrumentations, the Dear Hunter showed me that there's still a place for classical instrumentation in popular music. | | 5 |  | Weatherbox
American Art
On April 22, 2008, my faith in God was waning as I entered the Cat's Cradle to see Say Anything live. What I got was Weatherbox. The lyrically based debut album, American Art, lead me a sprawling journey across clearings and showed me that it was time to abandon my fractured faith in a deity. | | 6 |  | The White Stripes
White Blood Cells
This album simply showed me what rock and roll is really supposed to be. My music world at the time was clouded with skinny fit jeans, black guyliner, and Saves the Day records. White Blood Cells shattered everything I thought I knew about music and showed me that two people with an 8-track can record a masterpiece just as easily as six people with a million dollar advance. | | 7 |  | Paul Baribeau
Paul Baribeau
This album showed me the beauty of an acoustic guitar. One guy, one guitar, one scratchy voice. And all in one night. | | 8 | | Best Friends Forever
Romance Conflict Adventure
The innocense of first loves can often be clouded by the bitterness they bring about. With this tender album, my belief in some sort of love was restored. | |

05.13.08 | Pretty awesome list. And for once it seems like these albums actually did affect your life, especially Weatherbox leading you to lose faith in God. Pretty deep. | Bfhurricane
05.13.08 | Great list of albums. The only effect music has had dramatically on my life is getting me interested in different music and instruments for me to spend money on. | Big Baby Jesus
05.13.08 | Pretty deep, dude.
I can't really trace losing my faith in Christianity to one Artist or Album. If anything, I'd prolly say NIN. | FigNewtns
08.15.10 | in regards to albums making me lose faith, Hollow Be My Name played a huge role in my transition from theist to atheist.
woah commenting in an old list | fr33convict
08.15.10 | he turned his emotions into the most heart-wrenching album ever recorded.
