I tried to make a list of the most influential albums in my life, but I'm too busy today to research the specific albums. And some of these bands didn't have albums, so here you go, in chronological order:
2. Earth, Wind & Fire
3. Bruce Springsteen: Born in the USA
4. Soul II Soul
5. Living Colour
6. Sade
7. Huey Lewis & the News
8. INXS
9. REM
10. De La Soul: 3 Feet High and Rising
11. Colors Soundtrack
12. U2
13. Dag Nasty: Wig Out At Denko's
14. Fugazi
15. Tribe Called Quest
16. Native Nod
17. Choke
18. Tsunami
19. Shudder to Think
20. Ting
21. Team Dresch: Personal Best
22. Missy Elliott
23. Sleater-Kinney
24. Black Star/Mos Def
25. Outkast
This hardly seems to cover it, now that I've made the list. Where's Nation of Ulysses, Slint, Codeine? Everything Calvin Johnson has ever done? The Shams, Dave Clark 5, The Monkees!? Lois/Courtney Love (the band), Mary Lou Lords, Heavenly/Marine Research? Jane's Addiction, The Smiths. ALLEN CLAPP! Simon and Garfunkel, definitely huge, especially Simon. Dog-Faced Hermans, Sufjan Stevens. The Minutemen, Sebadoh, Sonic Youth. Flaming Lips, Bikini Kill. Toulouse. Auto-Voles.
Okay, I am going to revisit this, and re-organize it by stages of my life.

HAHA!! Huey Lewis! It's Hip To Be A Square! I loved that. And anything U2.
Slint! I once met a member of Slint and I said "what's going on?" and he said, "wearing pants"
