I feel like I could keep going for a lot longer. I didn't really want to duplicate bands, hence awesome albums such as Narrow Stairs not being on the list. It was originally only 30, and then I just looked over at my CD rack and was like "ohhh but what about that..."

It's weird to think that those are the albums that have shaped the most formative years of my life. Particularly coming back to the Last Broadcast which was what started me on indie music in the first place. There should probably be embarrassing stuff on there as well, like S Club 7, but...maybe not.

Year End list to come soon.
