So yeah. My music taste has always been fucking awesome. But that's just because my dad effing rules.

lastclearchance: you and me both.

When I was 13, I went digging through my CD's, looking for something to listen to. I stumbled upon Melon Collie and started listening to it. I hadn't heard it since I first bought it (just for the singles), and had never really listened to the whole album. I listened to it start to finish and was blown away. I was an ultra-depressed kid at the time, and that album reflected every feeling I'd ever had. It was comforting to find a band that so completely summed who I was. I'm not depressed anymore, but I still find immense happiness in every Pumpkins' album.

Anyway...my list:
Third Eye Blind - Third Eye Blind
Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness
Taking Back Sunday - Tell All Your Friends
Modest Mouse - The Moon And Antarctica
The Postal Service - Give Up
Death Cab For Cutie - Transatlanticism
Bright Eyes - Lifted...

I know that the list could be taken as really non-indie (in some cases), but there's good reason for that. For example: I loved Taking Back Sunday in High School, and it was a common interest with my friend Jonathan. He got me into other bands and got me really interested in music. The Postal Service really made me explore Lap-Pop bands, and other electronic music, which I had previously written off as uninteresting (I used to think Techno was all that electronic music was). Bright Eyes got me into indie-folk, and indie-pop, which is now my favorite genre of music.

So that's the barebones of my musical experience I guess.
First album I ever owned: Weezer (Blue Album)

Johnny C:
I didn't go through any real evolution; my favourite band was the Beatles, then it was Sum 41, then my favourite band was suddenly Interpol, which hella defines me to this day. Sorry to bore you guys.
