Albums That Stuck With Me Over The Years
Barely any of the music I listened to when I was a teenager is anything I would even think of listening to today. Here's a list of albums my angsty teenage self listened to that I still love today |
| 1 |  | Against Me!
Reinventing Axl Rose
Man, this band. My punk phase in high school can pretty much be defined by driving around with a few friends belting out the lyrics to them. Even though I'm not a huge fan of recent releases, they're still one of my all time favorite bands |
| 2 |  | Alkaline Trio
Goddamnit
I still remember listening to San Francisco for the first time and loving this band. My one ex girlfriend who hated all of my music even liked this album, 'nuff said |
| 3 |  | Cursive
The Ugly Organ
First band I ever saw live, and wow was it good. Album is pretty cool too |
| 4 |  | The Gaslight Anthem
The '59 Sound
The first time I ever listened to this album I was in love. I probably haven't gone a month without listening to at least a song from this album since I first heard it |
| 5 |  | Manchester Orchestra
I'm Like a Virgin Losing a Child
Just started re-listening to this band after a few years, and it sure stood the test of time. The emotional connection I have to this album is unparallelled, it's just a fantastic album |
| 6 |  | The National
Boxer
It's The National. It's Boxer. It might be my favorite album of all time. |
| 7 |  | Thrice
The Illusion of Safety
I listened to this band at a time when all I listened to was really bad post-hardcore and pop-punk. Like, really, really bad. Pretty cool that I still love this album today |
| 8 |  | Mischief Brew
Smash the Windows
Oh man I used to love folk-punk. I'm pretty sure there was a whole summer where I didn't listen to any music that wasn't folk-punk. If you've never heard the genre, give this album a listen. It's some good stuff |
| 9 |  | The Bouncing Souls
How I Spent My Summer Vacation
This album is just so catchy. Listening to it now I still just don't want to do anything but sing along and dance |
| 10 |  | Operation Ivy
Energy
Classic ska-punk album. Back in the day I skanked to this more times than I can count |
