Albums That Defined My Childhood

I'll start with albums that my family used to play a lot, thus becoming personal favorites during my younger ryears. I'll do albums from my 5th-6th grade stage towards rthe end of the list. I'm stopping at when I was about r12, when music became an important part of my life.
1Backstreet Boys
Backstreet Boys


Yep, pre-k for life.
2Backstreet Boys
Millennium
3 Backstreet Boys
Black & Blue


The last album by these guys that I ever heard. To this day, I think these guys only have 3 albums.
4Creed
My Own Prison


Awesome when I was 5, Awesome when I'm 16.
5Creed
Human Clay


"Never Die" was probably the first song I ever considered to be 'my favorite song', I was like 5 or 6.
6Creed
Weathered


"Bullets" was the first time I heard a heavy riff and said 'give me more metal!'
7Elton John
Greatest Hits


For years, I thought he was saying "Witch Is Back" because that's what mommy told me. Wasn't
until maybe the 3rd grade when I discovered the horrible truth.
8Judas Priest
Jugulator


I find it funny that the only Priest album my dad owned was one of their least popular ones. BURN
IN HELLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!
9 Various Artists
Twister: The Official Motion picture Soundtrack


The soundtrack to the 1996 blockbuster about tornadoes in Oklahoma. Van Halen + Deep Purple +
Crowbar + Camel + more. Great stuff, my favorite film of 3rd grade.
10Metallica
Metallica


My first introduction to Metallica, which later became my favorite band in middle school / junior
high. Circa 3rd grade.
113 Doors Down
The Better Life


It's pretty generic, but my family sure did love this album. KRYPTONITE
12Gorillaz
Demon Days


This came out when I was in 3rd grade. Someone got me the full album with "Feel Good Inc" and
I've probably listened to the thing front to back about 100 times, mostly in the span of 2005-2007.
13Creedence Clearwater Revival
Chronicle, Vol. 1


S Joe Wright played fullback for the University of Wyoming football when they went undefeated in
the early 60's and he fought for our country during Vietnam. After he returned, he opened up a
guitar shop where he still works today. He is grandpa. He is the man that showed me this CD.
14Metallica
...And Justice For All


My radio played "Blackened". It became the first song I bought on iTunes, and my life had changed.
15 Metallica
Kill 'Em All


People may diss Metallica for being a pussy band for kids. Maybe so, but this album is the
reason why I listen to Death, Atheist, Opeth, and more. Fuck y'all who hate Metallica for that
reason.
16Limp Bizkit
Greatest Hitz


Hey, I was in 5th grade. Heavy guitars over one angry motherfucker. Sure it's a joke now, but LB was the shit in my youth. NOBODY UNDERSTANDS
MEEEEEEEE
17Sodom
M-16


B-B-B-Bird bird bird, bird is the word
18 Megadeth
Peace Sells... but Who's Buying?


I was caught up in the "Metallica vs Megadeth" war and was extremely pro-Metallica. I remember
playing GTA:VC and I was listening to VRock. I heard a bass intro and fell in love. I googled the
song and looked in horror at the results: "Peace Sells". Could I truly love a Megadeth song? I dunno,
but I owned the album by the end of 6th grade.
19Control Denied
The Fragile Art Of Existence


The day I learned that music was a way of life. 6th grade.
