    What are your top 5 favorite albums (not necessarily what you deem to be the best.) Basically what are the albums you couldn't live without?
    I'll go first...
    1. Nevermind- Nirvana (Cobain is easily my favorite songwriter and this was absolutely his peak)
    2. The Doors- The Doors (my parents were obsessed with Morrison so this album is very nostalgic)
    3. OK Computer- Radiohead (stil hasn't been topped since its release)
    4. The Eminem Show- Eminem (my introduction to music)
    5. Elephant- The White Stripes (Jack White's best work)

    Beastie Boys - Licensed to Ill
    The most important album to me sentimentally.

    Wu-Tang Clan - Enter the 36 Chambers
    A perfect album.

    Aesop Rock - Skelethon
    A relatable album.

    The Index - Black Album
    A fun album.

    Bob Dylan - Blood on the Tracks
    A perfect and relatable album.

    Honorable Mentions: Emancipator's Soon It Will Be Cold Enough, Lil Herb's Welcome to Fazoland, Joni Mitchell's Blue, Operation Ivy's Energy, Rhyme Asylum's State of Lunacy, Fleetwood Mac's Rumours, The Who's Quadrafrenia, Rise Against's The Sufferer and the Witness, Hella's Tripper, Nas' It Was Written, Scarface's The Fix, Toe's A Book About My Idle Plot on Vague Anxiety...

    Nimrod - Greenday
    - The first album I really got into
    Nevermind - Nirvana
    - Their best album by far
    MMLP - Eminem
    - First good rap album I listened to
    TES - Eminem
    - an even better follow up
    Everready - Tech N9ne
    - Still listen to it today. His best album (although I enjoy most of his other stuff too).

    arcade fire - funeral/neon bible (funeral being the better, neon bible the one i enjoy more)
    bob dylan - highway 61 revisited (desolation row is one of my favorite songs of all time)
    lupe fiasco - food & liquor (one of very few albums i play front to back that grips my attention whole time)
    atmosphere - you can't imagine how much fun we're having (although i feel this is their best work -- it's not -- definitely the one which gives me the most enjoyment)
    the white stripes - white blood cells (fav fav fav)

    will have a different five tomorrow morning probably lol

    This. It's way to difficult to choose something when so many different factors affect the result

    Love this list. You Can't Imagine has always been my favorite Atmosphere project too, despite Lemons and probably GLU being objectively better. Also I'm curious as to why you picked White Blood Cells over Elephant.

    Drake - take care
    Wrekonize - the war within
