Luke Daniel Johnson has challenged me to list the 11 most influential albums in my lifetime. Its going to be a tough one, but here goes, in no particular order: 1. New Found Glory - Sticks & Stones (first album I ever bought) 2. No Use For A Name - More Betterness! (second album I ever bought) 3. Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory (first album my brother ever bought) 4. Good Charlotte - The Young And The Hopeless (which I gave to Jen Smith) 5. Various - Rock Against Bush, vol. 1 (made me think more politically) 6. Drake - So Far Gone (one of the best albums ever, so much feeling to it) 7. Trivium - Ascendancy (got me into metal) 8. Saosin - Saosin (possibly my favourite album ever) 9. Dance Gavin Dance - Dance Gavin Dance (also my favourite album ever) 10. Failsafe - What We Are Today (because its so brilliant) 11. Letlive - Fake History (as above) Honorary mentions to Memphis May Fire - Challenger, for making me want to become who I am meant to be, and BT - This Binary Universe, which inspired me to write more. I nominate Rebecca Wallace, Robert Ian Hawdon, Roly Johnson, Gareth Ashley Kitchener, James Pallister, Jonny McAreavey, Selim MacLean, Siobhan Buckley and Jenny who I have tagged above. :)
