Arguably, the first album that I remember from my childhood is U2's "The Joshua Tree". To this day, I would never consider either of my parents huge music lovers, but my mom had this cassette. The album sucked me in entirely with its first 3 tracks: "Where the Streets Have No Name", "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For", and "With or Without You". This album still gets a heavy amount of playtime on my iPod.
"In Utero" by Nirvana (1993).
This album will always been one of my favorites. Looking back, this was one of the first albums that I bought when discovering music. For me, Kurt Cobain will always be dear to my heart in terms of lyricism. His emotion bleeds through every chord and his lyrics still haunt me almost 17 years after his death. "All Apologies" is one of my favorites to play acoustically.
"Band on the Run" by Paul McCartney and Wings (1973).
During my high-school years, my favorite Beatle was always John Lennon. But in my time perusing the shelves of CD's at the library, the cover of this album immediately caught my attention. After playing it on heavy rotation for a few days I was immediately hooked. Paul's ability to combine lyrics and music isn't comparable to any other musician. He has written some of the most beautiful music of all time and this album is certainly no exception.
