I'm not saying these are the best albums of all time, just that these are the ones that have shown up at various points in my life just when I needed them.  So they mean something to me personally.

Ordered by release date:

1. Fly - Dixie Chicks (1999)

2. Rush of Blood to the Head - Coldplay (2002)

3. Underneath - Hanson (2004)

4. Continuum - John Mayer (2006)

5. Free - Gavin DeGraw (2009)

Feel free to share the most important albums in your life :)

Ooh, I like this topic. Albums that have meant a lot lot lot to me over the years...

1. This Time Around -- Hanson

2. Neon Ballroom -- Silverchair

3. Morning View -- Incubus

4. Savage Garden (self titled)

5. Sing When You're Winning -- Robbie Williams

Not necessarily my absolute favorites, but the ones that I always keep coming back to and that I will always love.

That's great! Me too, those are my go-to albums when I need something awesome to listen to

this is hard...I really wanna just put down all my Hanson albums..LOL

If we're talking albums that showed up exactly when I needed them, then I'll have to say:

August and Everything After by Counting Crows

Hello, Good Friend by The Rocket Summer

Found by Honor By August

I guess those three are the only three that really come to mind.

1. Dangerouis-by Michael Jackson (1st album i ever owned so its my most favorite)

2. Funhouse-By Pink

3. Jagged Little Pill-by Alanis Morrisette

4. The Walk -by Hanson

5. Millenium-by Backstreet Boys

I'm excluding Hanson albums from this list because they are obvious (and Middle of Nowhere would receive the #1 Most Influential Album).  Also, these aren't in any particular order.

Joshua Tree by U2

Full Moon Fever by Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

Late Night Grande Hotel by Nanci Griffith

Rubber Soul by The Beatles

Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We by The Cranberries

Under the Table and Dreaming by Dave Matthews Band

sorry, I know that's 6...

it's funny because these are the albums I would choose, but if it were songs specifically it would probably look pretty different!  (Although "With Or Without You" would most definitely make it!)

umm,

I'd have to say all my Hanson albums just cause that what I mostly listen to if something bad happens in my life cause they always cheer me up.

Hmmm... as of right now my favorites are

1. Hanson - TTA

2. Hanson - Underneath

3. Jason Mraz - Mr. A-Z

4. Eric Hutchinson - Sounds Like This

5. John Mayer - Room For Squares

This Time Around-Hanson.

Comotose-Skillit

Jesus Freak-DC Talk

Untill the whole world hears-casting crowns.

3 Mariah  Carey Music Box

2 Will be Shout it Out Hanson

1 Middle Of Nowhere HAnson

Genesis - I Can't Dance

Radio Head - whatever their 1993 release was

these are the cd's that i can always listen to, straight through, without skipping any songs.

this is obviously excluding hanson. and it's in no particular order.

"Underage Thinking" by Teddy Geiger

"Indiana" by John McLaughlin

"The Glass Passenger" by Jack's Mannequin

"Chariot" by Gavin DeGraw

"Swiss Army Romance" by Dashboard Confessional

1) New Moon Soundtrack-  I think this is actually my all time favorite album.  I find myself listening to it every single day, not skipping any of the songs, and it just really speaks to me on a personal level

2) The Walk- Hanson

3) Middle of Nowhere- Hanson

4) Once Soundtrack

5) Humbug- Arctic Monkeys

- Portrait of an american family Marilyn Manson 1994

- black album Metallica - Metallica 1991

- Hysteria Def leppard 1986

Gavin DeGraw FTW <3

This is NOT an easy task. I've come to this thread a million times in an attempt to list MY top 5 albums. I think I may actually have it this time.

1. George Harrison- Brainwashed

2. Simon & Garfunkel- Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme

3. Mike Oldfield- Tubular Bells

4. The Beatles- Rubber Soul

5. George Harrison- All Things Must Pass

I had a VERY hard time choosing between All Things Must Pass and Cloud Nine because I love both of those albums equally. In fact, I think I love all of George Harrisons albums equally. Tough list.

For me it's the following

Ashes to Ashes - Series 1 Soundtrack

Hanson - The Walk

Pink - Funhouse

Kid Rock - Rock n Roll Jesus

The Faces - Ooh La La

Hanson middle of nowhere 1997, this time around 2000 underneath 2004 Hanson the walk 2007 Hanson shout it out 2010
