albums that you've heard that will always stick with you. We needed to list
the first fifteen you could recall in no more than fifteen minutes. These are
the fifteen I came up with...in no particular order:
Yes - 90125
The first album I ever bought.
Journey - Escape
I was a huge Journey fan in high school and early college. This was the
first CD I ever bought.
Rush - Moving Pictures
This cassette was cranked as loud as it could go on many a bus trip to
high school volleyball games.
Van Halen - 1984
I was a late bloomer to the Van Halen bandwagon. I later became a huge
"Van Hagar" fan.
John Mellencamp - Scarecrow
Growing up in Indiana, this was a must.
Pink Floyd - The Wall
The second CD I ever bought. Listened to it until it almost wore out.
R.E.M. - Fables of the Reconstruction
This album turned me into a R.E.M. fan and suddenly I was buying any
album that had anything to do with Athens Georgia.
The Police - Synchronicity
I listened to this constantly on my boom box my freshman year of college.
Michael Jackson - Off The Wall
This was a cassette that my brother, John told me to buy. I remember
listening to it at the same time with dual headphone jacks on a trip we
took to Milwaukee with my Mom and Dad.
Andy Williams - Moon River and Other Great Movie Themes
My parents owned this album (still probably do) and for some reason I remember
them playing it a lot (at least that's what I remember). Probably the reason Moon
River is one of my favorite songs to this day.
Kate Bush - Hounds of Love
I listened to this album every shift I worked my Junior year while
working at Von's Records at Purdue. It was pressed in very cool
pink paisley vinyl!
The Cars - Shake It Up
I owned something like three cassette tapes my senior year of high
school and this was one of them. I had a 1964 powder blue Ford
Fairlane and it had an 8 track player in it. I could only listen to my
three cassettes using one of those adapter thingys in which you stuck
a cassette into and then plugged it into the 8 track player.
Led Zeppelin - Houses of the Holy
The first 8 Track of my brother's I ever listened to. Mostly because I liked the
cover art. Still my favorite Led Zeppelin album to this day.
U2 - War
I rushed out to Hegewich Records to buy this CD the same day I saw
U2 play at Live Aid.
Queen - Sheer Heart Attack
I remember listening to "Killer Queen" from this album while on the playground
in elementary school. I liked it...and Queen instantly.
So there you go. 15 albums that meant something to me during my life.
Think about which albums and what music was important to you!

I was going to make fun of your list...until I started making my list. Way too much bad music on my list to make fun of you. I guess that is what makes them OUR "lists." Thanks for sharing that.
I'm liking your list! And I think I'm from a different generation than you. :)
