Red Hot Chili Peppers- By The Way (The first real album I ever bought, inspired me to start playing music, still listen to it 12 years after its release, inspired by the band's wide influences to start listening to loadsa new music) Standout Track: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VU2kdbANwA Joni Mitchell- Blue (Quite simply, the album that taught me how deep and powerful simplicity in music could be) Standout Track:
Isis- The Red Sea (In my opinion, the heaviest album ever released, powerful and daring, brutal and unrelenting) Standout Track: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIGCKTMlFDQ
