So this seems to be the latest facebook trend, as I've been nominated a bunch of times to

do this. Here are 10 albums that had a major impact on me (in random order):
Allan Holdsworth - Secrets
Mats & Morgan Band - Thanks For Flying With Us
Bjrk - Homogenic
John Coltrane - A Love Supreme
Death - Symbolic
Radiohead - Kid A
Cynic - Focus
Jeff Buckley - Grace
Pantera - Vulgar Display Of Power
Jon Hopkins - Insides
don't usually do this kind of thing (mostly because I find choosing albums
VERY difficult), but I've decided to succumb and do it for once.

So, Rafael Fernandez Marmolejos nominated me to list my top 10 most

influential albums. I'll expand that to top 10 most influential and/or
inspirational albums...anyway:

1) Jeff Buckley - grace

2) The Beatles - white album
3) Metallica - ...and justice for all
4) Bolt Thrower - war master
5) Ulver - bergtatt
6) Cannibal Corpse - tomb of the mutilated
7) David Bowie - hunky dory
8) Broken Hope - loathing
9) Emperor - in the nightside eclipse
10) Dismember- indecent and obscene

Wow. That was not fun, and there's so many albums I should/could have put
in...oh well haha, that'll do.

If any of the people I nominate have already done one of these recently (or
you just can't be bothered haha), obviously just ignore the request.
