Musical Journey
Not including the whole boyband phase, this is the evolution of my musical tastes. It was actually quite hard to track, since having to re-add my entire itunes library has caused me to loose download/purchasing dates etc. I had to rely on my retardedly bad memory. |
| 1 | | R.E.M.
In Time: The Best of R.E.M.
After hearing Bad Day on Video Hits I asked for this album. My first real delving into music - at this time I was also into Coldplay, Keane, U2 etc |
| 2 |  | Linkin Park
Hybrid Theory
Whoa! This shit was heavy for me, but it was angsty and fun at the same time. |
| 3 |  | Evanescence
Fallen
I was listening to this constantly during a time in my life I prefer not to think about too much. |
| 4 |  | Breaking Benjamin
Phobia
For some reason I was quite proud at how heavy this was, taking satisfaction at my mothers dissatisfaction. |
| 5 | | Daredevil
Soundtrack
This introduced me to numerous hard rock acts. |
| 6 |  | Saliva
Back Into Your System
Okay, this was actually TOO heavy for me when I first got it. It was almost abrasive to my ears. |
| 7 |  | In Flames
Come Clarity
In Flames were my internet mentors (as sad as that sounds) favourite bands. I was determined to like them too and forced myself to get used to the heaviness. Now my fav band of all time. |
| 8 |  | Deftones
White Pony
Oh damn, wow. My drumming teacher got me into these guys by teaching me some of Change. This remained my favourite album for a very very long time. |
| 9 |  | The Butterfly Effect
Imago
It was at this point that I realised Australia could field good bands as well. Since them I've discovered others such as Karnivool. |
| 10 |  | Killswitch Engage
Alive or Just Breathing
Using In Flames and Soilwork as a base, I looked into metalcore. All That Remains, Unearth etc |
| 11 | | Kamelot
Black Halo
At around the same time I took a peek at power metal like Nightwish |
| 12 |  | Bloc Party
A Weekend In The City
My first real taste of indie, however I wouldn't explore any further than this for a good deal longer. |
| 13 |  | Jimmy Eat World
Futures
Yeah, so after all that I discover pop again. |
| 14 |  | Pendulum
Hold Your Colour
And electronic music isn't so bad afterall. At this point my and my bestfriends tastes diverged - he went down the dance music path, I kept along metal and rock. |
| 15 |  | Anti-Flag
For Blood and Empire
Whoa, punk. Invigorating. (I never went through the Blink phase like everyone else) |
| 16 |  | Underoath
Lost in the Sound of Separation
This album changed my perspective towards music. From this point forward I started looking more for an emotional connection to music. |
| 17 | | Sigur Ros
Takk...
At this point I realised that I actually could listen to instrumental music and not get THAT bored. Still not that big a fan of post-rock though. |
| 18 |  | At The Drive-In
Relationship of Command
Post-Hardcore! How had I been missing you all these years! Cue finding Thrice, Thursday, Glassjaw etc...and PTH |
| 19 |  | Neutral Milk Hotel
In The Aeroplane Over The Sea
Oh, hey indie music. I didn't see you there. Welcome to my life. |
| 20 |  | MewithoutYou
Brother, Sister
I'd had this album for a long time, but I'd hated it for a long time. Then one day it clicked. Massively. Thanks to this album I can now enjoy a much wider range of music. |
| 21 |  | Nine Inch Nails
The Downward Spiral
After seeing these guys live, they became one of my fav bands for a while. Still don't have all their albums though. I used this in an English essay though =P |
| 22 |  | The Flashbulb
Soundtrack to a Vacant Life
I have a new appreciation for instruments now. It's not all about the words and vocals. |
| 23 |  | Refused
The Shape of Punk To Come
This is one of the concepts I now try to live by, and often assess others creativity by. Create a new noise. |
| 24 |  | Misery Signals
Controller
My current fav album, has been for a few months actually. |
| 25 |  | Recs
