Albums that changed your life. If you can, write a sentence or more why. I'll start. Found this album on here and listening to it late at night with the lights off made me feel really fucking good and maybe me think about life differently.

65 KB, 500x500
I’m always a bit suspicious whenever someone tells me that an album has “changed” their life. More often than not, the exact opposite is true. No matter how good, the album in question hasn’t changed a thing at all, but merely affirmed some deeply ingrained, more pleasing vision of the listener’s identity. Many friends, for instance, claimed that they were immediately transformed upon hearing Bon Iver’s 2008 album, For Emma, Forever Ago, but I still can’t notice — three years later — any noticeable difference (if anything, they all just seem a little bit hairier). No, if music is going to change your life, it’s more likely to happen through an album that is disagreeable or even slightly disappointing, the one you really don’t want to play again. Simply put, if your musical hero is moving in a new direction, and not simply getting worse, that’s when you need to stop talking about yourself and pay attention

Funny that it made you feel good, considering what it's about. Though I guess the last song in it offers reassurance after all the other songs

Pic related was the first album I sat down and listened through, and made me realize there was so much more to music than just catchy tunes

grunge was never underground

it was always ~alternative~ which is called ~indie~ today

but the fact that those sort of pseudo-subculture things exist is pretty neat and it gets people into cool music and stuff so that's neat
