Some of these were more just because of one song but I heard the full album at least once and pre-youtube my music intake was nearly nothing, we only had a few cassettes we'd just play on repeat really.
1 Rubber Soul by The Beatles
2 Digimon Soundtrack by Various Artists (while this had the digirap it was mostly ska punk)
3 Sweet Baby James by James Taylor
4 OK Go - OK Go
5 Abbey Road - The Beatles
6 American Idiot - Green Day
7 Soul's Core - Shawn Mullins
8 Imagine - John Lennon
9 Monkey Business - Black Eyed Peas
10 Blink 182 - Blink 182
EDIT: There was a John Denver album for me too that should probably be here instead of Soul's Core but I can't remember what album. My mom adored him and he actually died in the town I was born in - we went to his memorial when I was about 9 months old, I was on the news as the "youngest mourner" supposedly. |
I'm guessing some of this is your parents and some of it is older siblings? Cool stuff. |
I don't actually have any older siblings! Beatles was a combo of parents, digimon was just something that was in a theatre and I loved, Taylor is my mom, OK Go was my cousin introducing us to a thing called "youtube" back in like 06 and us then buying the album as a family, Green Day was a friend of mine from 2nd grade (as with yellow card but that was just that one song people know), Shawn Mullins' Lullaby was the singular song my younger brother liked growing up, imagine was the first cd I was given, I think we had a few by then but that was a gift to me and special, and black eyed peas and blink were my mom liking Gone Going and I Miss You respectively and buying the albums. Denver was my mom too. My taste is now much closer to my dad's, but that's somewhat less child friendly I suppose |
Ok that makes more sense. I was just curious about American Idiot and similar since that most likely wasn't your parents  .

You might think it's awesome but if you've heard these albums as many times as I have, there's nothing awesome about them. I've recently started introducing my dad to better music he might like, like Bowie or Mingus in hopes that one day he'll play something other than Andrea Bocelli when he's cooking, but the odds of that ever happening are slim.

Okay okay... that makes sense.
I guess I was thinking, hmm at least you weren't torchered with The Carpenters and John Denver. But I'll admit I missed the Andrea Bocelli... I can't say for certain I know who he is right now but something tells me it's like Yanni or something... but he sings easy listening kind of stuff.
Elvis, Beatles, Ray Charles, Simon and Garfunkel, Johnny Cash= Awesome childhood in my opinion.

I happen to like all of these albums and I don't think it's just nostalgia talking. My parents were teens in the late 60s and in college in the mid 70s, which meant that they had a vinyl collection people would kill for today. I never really gave it much thought until just now, but my parents really put me on the right track musically.
I have to go email them now.

Wow. this makes me feel super old.

1. The Sesame Street Monsters!
One of my favorites when I was really young. I listened to this as much as anything outside of the Beatles
2. The Beatles - Rubber Soul
My mom bought all of the Beatles albums on vinyl the moment they came out, so we listened to them all, all the time.
3. David Bowie - Changesbowie
My brother had this one on cassette, and made me a copy. It was my gateway into Bowie and one of the tapes I completely wore out.
4. Weird Al - Dare to Be Stupid
One of the first cassettes I ever owned. My older brother had all the Weird Al tapes of the 80s
5. Pink Floyd - Piper at the Gates of Dawn
Another one my brother made me a copy of which became part of my DNA
6. The Supremes - Greatest Hits
I remember my brother listening to this one a lot on vinyl. It also became one of my favorites to pick out to play.
7. The Beastie Boys - Licensed to Ill
The Beastie Boys were blowing up and on MTV a ton. Both of my brothers were really into them, so I followed.
8. Primus - Sailing the Seas of Cheese
When my brother started playing bass, this was one of the albums he worshipped. He made me a mixtape with Primus, Faith No More, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Violent Femmes. It became the only thing I listened to around 4th or 5th grade
9. R.E.M. - Document
My oldest brother's favorite band in the 80s, and a constant presence on MTV
10. Nine Inch Nails - Pretty Hate Machine
Another one where my older brother made me a copy on cassette and I listened all the time.
These are all records I remember having a pretty distinct impact on me early on, before I was 10 years old.
EDIT: And I listened to a bunch of little plastic records on my Fischer Price record player, but I can't recall any of them.

I felt the same when he said American Idiot was something in 2nd grade (I think he said).
Anyway, cool history Mecca.
