I really have no idea what i'm thinking by posting this... Possibly because I get asked on a regular basis when I meet people, do interviews or just out of pure curiosity from those who are interested in my background... or simply because I have too much time on my hands adn feel like wasting band width? :Spin:
I'm usually asked what the top 5 or 10 albums that influnced me (or the other band members) and it's nearly impossible to do so since there are so many, but I feel I am able to come to a compromise.... and narrow it down to around 50 or so...
Mind you, this list doesn't reflect the rest of the band entirely, just myself, and are ONLY albums I purchased from around 89'-93' (when I was a young, impressionable teenager) which I consider the "important and shaping" times. Im sure many of you will get a kick out of this.
