So, bare with me, as I am not the best at describing life stories, but i'll do my best. I'll get two out of the way, and will continue this when I can think of more.
Number 1:
Thrice - Vheissu
This album, is probably the most significant album that has been a huge part of my life since I was younger. It got me through the tough years of high school, with all the criticism and negative energy that I had to put up with. One song in particular hits me in the heart every single time I hear it. That is "Of Dust and Nations". I don't know what it is about the song, but the sound of it just makes me want to crawl into bed and forget about the world. I've learned that song in and out. I've even played some of it on the guitar (mediocre I may add), but it's really been the number one album I go to when I need something to just...listen to, to just let me feelings out.
Number 2:
Sigur Ros - Takk...
This album is very close to my heart, and has been close to my heart ever since I discovered the post-rock genre. Jonsi is such a phenomenal vocalist and it's very hard to not enjoy every minute of it (if you like the vocals that is). This album has taken a huge place in my heart because it's gotten me through relationships that were either fake, or didn't have much or any meaning to them. I remember hearing "Saeglopur" on a friend of mine's myspace, and I was instantly hooked. As soon as I listened to the whole album, it became an album that I would listen to if I wanted to put the scenario in my head that I was all alone and there was nobody there that could help. I know it's bad to think about those things at times, but the emotion in this album makes it impossible not to.
