top 30 albums of my life

The man, the god, the legend, Brian Heiss made a list of top 25 albums of his life. These are the albums that have marked me. I couldn't whittle them down from 30. They are in, more or less, chronological order starting from about 6th Grade until this year, the time I really started getting into Pop music. They aren't the best albums I own, or even my favorites. But they are an honest representation of what has played a big part of my musical life throughout time. If I made a list of favorite albums, it would be different, though many artists and albums would undoubtedly overlap.

1) Greatest hits, Simon and Garfunkel
2) Take me to your leader, Newsboys
3) August and Everything After, Counting Crows
4) MTV Unplugged in New York, Nirvana
