15 albums.

I already tossed this up on the Facebook, but I figure I could put it here too. It's a list of 15 albums that I can reasonably call “life-changing,” in that they helped form (or defined the times that formed) who I am today. They're in a roughly chronological order.

1. pearl jam - yield
2. caedmon's call - caedmon's call
3. rich mullins - the jesus record
4. bob dylan - the essential bob dylan
5. bruce springsteen - the greatest hits
6. wilco - yankee hotel foxtrot
7. ryan adams - gold
8. derek webb - she must and shall go free
9. casey trela - sugar-coated vegetables
10. lambchop - is a woman
11. the prayers and tears of arthur digby sellers - the mother of love emulates the shapes of cynthia
12. the mountain goats - all hail west texas
13. jason anderson - the wreath
14. the microphones - don't wake me up
