Earl Sweatshirts "i don't like shit I don't go outside" changed my life when I was 15-16. I moved to a new city and I literally had no friends. Even tho it was a crowded school I felt isolated. When I popped in earls Album for the first time I didn't feel alone...if that makes any sense
Sun Kil Moon's 'Benji' was so beautiful that it forced me to get over the embarrasment of my current lonership and go see them live by myself. Had a great time and it felt incredibly liberating to just enjoy myself and not give a fuck about anything.
Don't mind going to shows alone at all! you're going to see an act with a bunch of strangers who also enjoy the music. Might meet someone or make a friend. Worst case scenario you end up seeing a band you enjoy haha. At least that's been my experience with going solo.
College Dropout, Californication, The Doors, Late Registration, and Good Kid Mad City. Oh, and Sublime's 40 oz to Freedom. All albums I have life connections with.

Nine Inch Nails Broken is the record that changed my life. Before that I was listening to the popular rock music of the time. After this album I was never the same. Great list Myke!
1. Master of Puppets- Metallica (got me into metal music, first metal album ever) 2. Reign in Blood- Slayer (got me into more 'extreme' metal music) 3. The Queen is Dead- The Smiths (proved to me that solitude/loneliness is underrated) 4. Symbolic- Death (first death metal album I ever liked) 5. Nails- Unsilent Death (helped me appreciate grindcore/powerviolence, genres i always thought i hated. finally realized that there are no sonic boundaries in extremity)
Andrew Louis Are you me? Because master of puppets is what got me into metal, symbolic was one of the first maybe 10 metal albums a heard and was the first extreme thing I heard and got me into death metal and extreme metal and nails you will never be one of us introduced me to the even further extreme of metal, and is also my favorite record of last year. Reign in blood for me I didn't get a first and thought it was kind of mediocre, though now I love that album.

Cradle Of Filth also changed my life. When I heard Tortured Soul Asylum for the first time when I was 12 I was blown away by how poetic the lyrics were. It awakened the creative writer in me, and I went from having an f in English class to attending local poetry nights and getting standing ovations. Thank you Dani! Also don't say Cradle is lame when you put their latest album on a top of the year list : ^ ) You ain't foolin me.
This is one of my favourite videos you have ever made and I've been watching this channel for a while. So much good hardcore and relate able punk music for me. I'm going to make this video next week when I have some time off. Thanks for always Inspiring, Myke
Haha! Right on! I loved everything up until Median. After that I couldn't connect with anything until Hammer Of The Witches. But I still jam Vempire on a regular basis. IDGAF.
Yeah, Cradle of Filth is one of the most important bands in my music appreciation journey; they were essentially my gateway band into "extreme" metal genres. I will never shun them, besides the fact I still enjoy the vast majority of their material. An all-time favorite, no matter what.
My 10: 1. Amy Winehouse - Frank 2. Joe Bataan - St. Latin Day's Massacre 3. Sweet Trip - Velocity: Design: Comfort 4. Mos Def - Black on Both Sides 5. Orchestra Harlow Presents Ismael Miranda 6.

GREAT list... EVERY youtube music content creator should make a video like this. Knowing where somebody is coming from when they discuss music is of the upmost importance. Thanks, man!!
Thank YOU Myke for making me both comfortable and happy to be a weirdo and thank you for introducing me to The Cure awhile ago. With depression and anxiety I am usually in a darker place but Disintegration and Bloodflowers helped a lot when it got bad one of those times. Along with those for me it would be much Atmosphere (spec When Life Give You Lemons), much Ben Folds/Five, Doris/IDLSIDGO, channel ORANGE, RHCP (Anything John Frusciante does), In Utero, Carrie and Lowell, and Before the Internet are the most standout to me right now.
Death's symbolic was the first death metal album I heard and one of the first probably ten metal albums I heard. The feeling when first listening to that was incredible, I'd never heard anything extreme at all before and that album was a transcendent experience, still my favorite death metal album.
All of Eyedea's albums, probably The Many Faces of Oliver Heart and First Born specifically. Opened me up to so much music and so many ideas to explore. Would be a completely different person without his influence, no doubt at all.

Wrekonize's Soiree For Skeptics had a huge impact on my life and most of Brother Ali's work has really gotten me out of some dark places and kept things positive. Great vid mike
Dark Side of the Moon changed my life when I was 13, cause it was the first album I ever got seriously into, and Pink Floyd remains my favorite band to this day. Radiohead's OK Computer was huge because I was stuck in a nothing-but-classic-rock phase until I got a job at my record store and heard this, opening my mind to a lot of modern music in general. A Tribe Called Quest's Midnight Marauders was the first hip hop album I fell in love with at 18, and are also one of my all time favorite bands. The newest Tribe is actually my favorite one and I fucking sobbed at that album.
i might make a video like this and i can say with 100% honesty the biggest album that changed me was discovering HIM's Razorblade Romance which id go more into detail why when/if i mike a response to this
You know...I almost put that album in this list but I felt like I'd be lying. While that's one of my all time favorite albums it didn't really alter my path at all. I was already into goth music by the time I heard RR. It just made me fall more in love with the more romantic side of the genre. But anyway, I'm stoked you're gonna do one of these! I'll be looking for it!
1. My bloody valentine- loveless 2. Kendrick- GKMC 3. J dilla- Donuts 4. Kanye- 808s and heartbreaks 5. Nick drake- pink moon 6. Run the jewels- run the jewels 2 7. Simon and Garfunkel- sounds of silence 8. Common- like water for chocolate 9. City morgue vol 1 10. 2pac- me against the world
Take Care Got me listening to albums, and the intricacies of a project. Crafting a specific sound, atmosphere and ambience that fits a theme and making it all makes sense. Most importantly it was good music, apealing to the ears and so different from what was going on at the time. A complete game changer.
Quality stuff. keep doing your thing man, from India, have been following dead end too for a while now. was waiting for your reviews for a week 'damn'.
That was so great to hear. I would love to come up with a list, but (and I feel like this is exemplified by your video) I feel like "albums that changed me" and "albums I love" are two very different things. I feel like I need to dig a little deeper for a list like that, so it might take a while :)
10. Kanye West - My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy (barely a favourite any more, but without a doubt ensured me that investing my time in music was worthwhile) 9. Neutral Milk Hotel - In The Aeroplane Over The Sea 8. Slint - Spiderland 7. The Smiths - The Queen Is Dead 6. Radiohead - Kid A 5. Sufjan Stevens - Illinois 4. Arcade Fire - Funeral 3. The Flaming Lips - The Soft Bulletin 2. The Cure - Disintegration 1. Animal Collective - Spirit They've Gone, Spirit They've Gone
Man on The Moon 1-2, I don't like shit i don't go outside, The College Dropout, Wolf, The White Album, Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band, The Wall, Nevermind, Blonde, To pimp a butterfly, The slim shady lp, Marshall Matthers LP.
I Personally think the records that changed my life when i started listening to Metalcore has to be Parkway Drive's Killing With A Smile, Poison The Well's The Opposite of December, Or maybe As I Lay Dying's Frail Words Colapse for sure. Keep doing what you love doing bro!!
Great video Myke!! Keep up the great work. It's great to see someone so passionate about music. I agree, that if I had not had music I honestly don't even know how different my life would have been. All I know is that it definitely wouldn't have been better lol
Silent Shout (The Knife), The Lonesome Crowded West (Modest Mouse) and Turn on the Bright Lights (Interpol) all had a huge impact on me. For some reason I just decided to listen to way more different types of music after hearing these albums.
a few albums that changed my life in my formative years.. 1. The Smiths - Hatful Of Sorrow 2. Gang Of Four - Entertainment! 3. Outkast - Stankonia 4. RHCP - Californication 5. Patti Smith - Horses 6. Pixies - Doolittle 7. Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures 8. Tori Amos - Little Earthquakes 9. Radiohead - OK Computer 10. Queens Of The Stone Age - Songs for the Deaf 11. Elliott Smith - Either/Or 12. Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation 13. Massive Attack - Mezzanine 14. Tool - Undertow 15. Wire - Pink Flag Bonus do not judge.. Eminem - The Marshall Mathers LP, and the day I got a Greatest Hits Nirvana album when I was 12
yo myke. do you still skate? top five life changing albums for me. 1. madvillain - madvillainy 2. cannibal ox - the cold vein 3. ka - grief pedigree 4. arthur verocai - arthur verocai 5. gza - liquid swords
Chris Martinez i listened to madvillainy for thr third time today and it really clicked i woudl cinsoder it top 5 albums now i definately need to check out DOOM's other work
DOOM's discog is mad crazy, if i had to name the next DOOM projects you should check out asap it would be 1. operation doomsday 2. king geedorah - take me to your leader 3. mm food 4. viktor vaughn - vaudeville villain
Chris Martinez the one project that people never mention with Doom that was great was his Wu-like group Monsta Island Czars. That album was so raw to me and the beats are amazing.
Modest Mouse The Lonesome Crowded West I relate the angst Issac Brock feels so much when talking about things that I never really experience in the same way.
Albums that changed my life 10: Blink 182 self titled (I dont listen to this anymore, but it got me into music) 9: Good Kid Maad city, Kendrick Lamar 8 Rubber Factory The Black Keys 7: Yankee Hotel Foxtrot 6: Turn On the bright lights, Interpol 5: Elephant the White Stripes 4: The Velvet Undergeound and Nico 3: Illinoise Sufjan Steven's 2: Funeral Arcade Fire 1: Is This It The Strokes
It's really neat how much music's impacted you outside of music preferences. Dead prez - _Lets Get Free_, The Coup - _Steal This Album_, and Aus-Rotten - _The System Works For Them_ kind of three-wayed me into socialism, but other than those every other important album in my life just changed what I looked for in music -- Slipknot's s/t made me a metalhead (you thought your kvlt status took a hit), _Flood_ by Boris made me venture outside of metal, Sissy Spacek's s/t got me into noise... those are the big ones off the top of my head. I mean there were gateway albums for every genre I'm into but it's those three that changed everything.
Mastodon's Leviathan, Neurosis' Through Silver In Blood, Dethklok'sfirst two albums, Slipknot's first two albums, Madvillainy, Behemoth's The Satanist, The Dillinger Escape Plans Option Paralysis, Death Grips Bottomless Pit and The Money Store, Tyler the Creators Wolf (honestly was a high school angry freshman when it came out and I could honestly relate to songs like Answers at the time XD), Earl Sweatshirts Doris, Gorillaz Demon Days, Fear Factory's Obsolete, Deftones White Pony, Korn's first album (they had so much potential then but then just got BAD....), Meshuggah's Nothing, and probably finally Primus' Tales from the Punch Bowl. There's more that I could go into, but all those albums for sure peeked my interest and really made me appreciate those genres. also just in general I play music too, and all these acts have had an influence in how I play for sure. loved the video by the way Mr C Town XD... I totally liked cradle of filth as a kid too, but now am embarrassed a little bit as well. at least they're not avenged sevenfold -____- XD
Damaged by Black Flag changed my life. I was 14 at the time, and since I was born in 1995 that record was obviously already an established classic from back in 81. At that time I started getting into Punk through Rancid (another band who's work changed my life, especially Out Come the Wolves and Life Wont Wait), Social Distortion, NOFX, etc. While I loved those bands, and especially Tim Armstrong from Rancid and Mike Ness were artists I felt (still feel in alot of ways) a very deep connection to, there was something missing. I felt like there was no music that properly represented my hate for myself and the world. Then one day I was walking through the aisles of a record store, and saw the cover of Henry Rollins punching a mirror. I felt like I was called upon to hear this album. Ever since then I haven't been the same. Rarely can I relate to an artist to such a large degree as I can to Henry Rollins. This record pretty much introduced me to one of my biggest heros. And after that I just consumed all the classics from 80's hardcore punk. That being said, being a teenager in the late 2000's- early 10's made finding friends kinda hard when you're blasting Kids From the Black Hole all day. Let's just say the Lil Wayne fans didn't quite get it...
This isn't an album but a playlist from a game that I can definitely say changed my life. The first time I played Tony Hawk Pro Skater and heard the soundtrack on that game, hearing Police Truck by Dead Kennedys alone was worth the money. I was 9 so I just listened to whatever my family was listening to or what was on the radio. I feel like the THPS series in general was what got a lot of us Mexican kids into not just punk/metal but all kinds of interesting music from different genres.
Carly Rae Jepsen - Emotion Side B was the album that smashed the genre barrier for me. Hearing a pop record I could play from start to finish and resonate heavily with made me completely open to everything.
Nimrod is the most important album to me. Without listening to Nimrod in sixth grade I wouldn't be where I am today. I wouldn't enjoy music. The other two are more bands. Merzbow for helping me discover Harsh Noise and Panopticon for helping me discover my all time favorite sub genre-Atmospheric Black Metal. I loved this video. It is very important for people to see someone else who is like them whether it be a band member, friend, or celebrity. A lot of people discover more to themselves by seeing someone who looks and/or acts like them succeeding.
Odd Future Tap Vol. 2 completely changed my life. Up until that point I was just into hardcore and metal but I realised that Odd Future had just as much aggression as all the hardcore stuff I was listening to. I had heard Yonkers before that but I wasn't convinced but when I saw the videos for rella and ny ned flander I was blown away. I know it isn't a good album now I look back but I wouldn't have found hip hop without it and I'm forever thankful for that
So many albums I can put it would take forever. A handful of hip-hop albums are : Big L- Lifestylez ov da poor and dangerous Company Flow - Funcrusher Plus ODB - Return to the 36 Chambers OGC- The Storm A few non hip hop : Black Sabbath - Paranoid SOAD - SOAD RATM - RATM Primus - Sailing the seas of cheese Justice - The cross Nero - Welcome Reality
NoFX - Wolves in Wolves Clothing, I was in private school at the time and finding pop punk with those themes definitely had an effect on me, for the better imo.
top 5 1.) God Loves Ugly- the album that single handedly sparked my love for underground hip hop and made me pay attention to the little things in music. It also gave me a positive attitude when i was going through a rough time. 2.) Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City- opened me up to the idea that there is some great hip hop out there today. It was one of the first concept albums i immediately played over and over. 3.) Midnight Marauders- dropped on the same day as one of my top three all time, this was the first non Eminem album i ever bought. This album is why i am still into hip hop. It changed my life perspective to be as positive and pure minded as i could be. It brought me to find groups and artists like Outkast, De La, Common, and Del. 4.) Enter The Wu Tang- This was the album that made me go from liking hip hop to becoming a life long fan. It was my introduction to the raw and rugged type sound that the mid 90's became known for. Also it reconnected me with Ghostface who i heard a couple years before but was too young to remember. 5.) A Piece Of Strange- Cunninlynguists/ The Minstrel Show- Little Brother- both these albums couldnt be anymore different. At the time i listened to both of these, i was just starting to dive into the underground and i wanted something a lot more spiritual and uplifting than what i was getting, and there they were. Each took me on a path that i wish i could stay on: A path of enlightenment and just straight passion. They showed me just how beautiful the genre of hip hop really could be.
Busdriver- Temporary Forever Mndsgn- Yawn Zen Sun Ra- Antique Blacks Flying Lotus- Cosmogramma Daedelus- Invention Pharoah Sanders- Elevation Eyedea- Many Faces of Oliver Hart Grieves- Together/Apart Carlos Nino- Aquariussssss these are a few that i can think of from the top of my head that have shaped me as a person in some ways by introducing me to whole new ideas and ways of thinking also just helped on emotional levels
The Beach Boys' "Pet Sounds" and "SMiLE," as well as the Beatles' "Rubber Soul" and "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" are four albums that seriously changed me. They changed how I listened to music as a whole, they got me deeper into weirder, more experimental music, and actually changed me as a person. Other albums that had a major impact on me are: Late Registration (actually got me into Hip-Hop music), To Pimp a Butterfly, Carrie & Lowell, Are You Experienced, The Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, The Velvet Underground & Nico, Abbey Road, Stadium Arcadium, Coloring Book, Blond(e), Stankonia, Doris, Wolf, and probably some others that I can't think of right now.
Names you don't often hear dropped, Johnny Paycheck & Screeching Weasel. Would love to see a video on you showing off your Merle Haggard collection. Waylon would have to be my favourite Country artist but Haggard is right up there.
Is This It - The Strokes The Suburbs - Arcade Fire Revolver - The Beatles Plowing Into the Field of Love - iceage The Seer - Swans Mellon Collie and the Infinte Sadness - Pumpkins God Loves Ugly - Atmosphere Chet Baker Sings - Chet Baker Live at Sine - Jeff Buckley Mothership - Led Zeppelin There's probably a hundred more but those are the ones that first came to mind. Is This It and Revolver definitely made the biggest impact. Made me realize music could be more than just a passive listening experience.
1. Company Flow Funcrusher Plus 2. Death Scream Bloody Gore etc. 3. MF Doom Operation Doomsday 4. Souls of Mischief 93 til Infinity 5. Aesop Rock Labor Days 6. Deltron 3030 7. Hieroglyphics 3rd Eye Vision 8. Binary Star Masters of the Universe 9. Smif N Wessun Dah Shinin/Black Moon Enta Da Stage 10. Viktor Vaughn Vaudeville Villain
Not an album I've listened to in like five years, but I remember hearing the opening guitar riff of "I Feel Fine" while listening to The Red Album by The Beatles and realising music was the best thing ever and I wanted to make it more than anything else in the world. Not actually an album, but watching live performances of Teen Age Riot on youtube really opened me up to the noisier side of music (as did going and listening to Sonic Youth albums after falling in love with that song), and I'd say Van Morrison's Astral Weeks and John Coltrane's A Love Supreme really gave me an appreciation of the fragile beauty of life.
1. In Search of .... NERD 2. Beautiful lie 30 seconds to Mars 3. Distant Relatives. Nas /Damien Marley 4. Discovery Daft Punk 5. 808s and Heartbreak Kanye West

Only Theater of Pain, Dusk and Her Embrace, God Loves Ugly, Disintegration, and Heartwork were all huge impacts on me personally. Excellent picks, Myke.

milez the caption chronic (I hope this doesn't sound corny) the 1st time I listened to daydreaming I was walking to my car and it started to rain, I swear I felt like time had slowed down and I could see everything around me so vividly
John Turner Yeah it was the album that got me into really listening music and not just hearing it. Not that anything deep is really said on the album though.
Seeing Sounds by N.E.R.D man I'll never forget the first time I saw the Everyone Nose video and flipping out on the best bought this album and it's been the reason why I've been so into music ever since
1. NWA- Straight Outta Compton- first hip hop album I ever listened to, in like the fifth grade it came on my RUclips suggestions 2. Outkast- Stankonia- I love aquemini and southernplayisticadillacmuzik to but this got me into outkast, which is now my favorite hip hop group. Showed me what an album can be. A musician can talk about complex politics, spiritual themes, or just brag rap in one album 3. The Smiths- Meat Is Murder- I was a vegetarian, remember driving aimlessly listening, though I've heard this album before and loved the smiths I became vegan then 4. Dead Kennedys- Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables- First hardcore punk album I loved, got me into left wing politics 5. Kendrick Lamar- To Pimp A Butterfly- I remember listening to institutionalized totally awe struck, I never really heard a song like it, overall an amazing album 6. Catch A Fire- Bob Marley- Started listening through my dad, really love this album and it got me into reggae. First smoked to this album so it impacted me in that way 7. Arctic Monkeys- Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not- Alex Turner's lyrics on this album really spoke to me. I am an average kid who gets kinda lost at bigger parties and I'm not really socially awkward either so to here songs through that light is great 8- Dead Prez- Let's Get Free- I love this album. Helped me get into revolutionary politics. 9. Immortal Technique- Revolutionary Volume One- With eight helped me get into revolutionary politics 10. The Beatles- Magical Mystery Tour- Amazing album. One of my favorites for sure my favorite Beatles album, I love blue jay way 11. Pet Sounds- My dad loves this album. So got me into music 12. Lupe Fiasco- Food and Liquor- First heard this album after going through a breakup that was hard on me, his voice helped me get by. 13. The Libertines- The Libertines- A standout of garage rock, at the time I was almost exclusively listening to rap and it got me back into rock music 14. The Stooges- The Stooges- don't know how many times I've heard this album. Every time I take something new from it. Every song is raw and hard and great 15. Run The Jewels- Run The Jewels Two- Through this I started listening to el-p and through that industrial music that would come up in suggestions on RUclips, great album.
i never listened intelligently to music before hearing a rush of blood to the head by coldplay. while it does seem a bit odd in hindsight for that album to be the point that influenced me in my music journey, i had just never heard anything that had truly resonated with me beyond simply being catchy. i have found a multitude of better example of albums that really make me feel feelings i want to feel as a result of music, that was the first one that made me realize there was something to look for.

Good Kid M.A.A.D City changed how I listen to rap as a whole and is still my favorite album of all time
Same.
todd from geico That album was overrated to me.
I adore that album
Earl Sweatshirts "i don't like shit I don't go outside" changed my life when I was 15-16. I moved to a new city and I literally had no friends. Even tho it was a crowded school I felt isolated. When I popped in earls Album for the first time I didn't feel alone...if that makes any sense
I was 13 when it came out and yeah it is one of those albums that sets the mood you're in when you feel down. Definitely on my top 5
Sober Hippy Makes perfect sense. I got the same feeling from a few albums when I moved around as a kid.
I'm 22 and was 20 when it came out. I love that album, it hits different emotions for me, not just ones where I'm down
Super 8 Kid I started rapping when I heard slim shady lp when i was 10
Basically lol
Sun Kil Moon's 'Benji' was so beautiful that it forced me to get over the embarrasment of my current lonership and go see them live by myself. Had a great time and it felt incredibly liberating to just enjoy myself and not give a fuck about anything.
Sno i dont know why people cant go alone to some places
Don't mind going to shows alone at all! you're going to see an act with a bunch of strangers who also enjoy the music. Might meet someone or make a friend. Worst case scenario you end up seeing a band you enjoy haha. At least that's been my experience with going solo.
Jared Conley for real lol
@sno dude amazing pick. I absolutely adore that album.
lil boat for me , i got suicidal after listening to that album
bitch ,you're dead 😂😂
LOOOOOL
that intro song could make anyone die of laughter so fair enough
lmao W
Kendrick GKMC was the album that actually got me to listening to albums and listening to more than just popular songs.
Guy Man exactly the same with me!
Same! That album got me into hip hop
Guy Man I have the same story. After GKMC I started listening albums not just singles. I thought it was so well crafted together
enlessdreams HALA MADRID Y NADA MAS
Guy Man GKMC was the first hip hop album I ever listened to when I was really close minded to it, now it's one of my favorite genres
Smash Mouth's Astro Lounge changed my life. I never knew music could have so many layers.
+Jean Luc Bergman didn't we talk on a Deathgrips video?
Yeah we talked about Chris Marker not Deathgrips lol
This doesn't have enough likes
lmao
Ogres have layers
College Dropout, Californication, The Doors, Late Registration, and Good Kid Mad City. Oh, and Sublime's 40 oz to Freedom. All albums I have life connections with.
40 oz for the win. Terribly underrated even though it's a stoner classic.
40 oz exposed me to Bad Religion, The Descendents, The Grateful Dead, KRS-One, Frank Zappa and many others as a teenager.

Nine Inch Nails Broken is the record that changed my life. Before that I was listening to the popular rock music of the time. After this album I was never the same. Great list Myke!
1. Master of Puppets- Metallica (got me into metal music, first metal album ever)
2. Reign in Blood- Slayer (got me into more 'extreme' metal music)
3. The Queen is Dead- The Smiths (proved to me that solitude/loneliness is underrated)
4. Symbolic- Death (first death metal album I ever liked)
5. Nails- Unsilent Death (helped me appreciate grindcore/powerviolence, genres i always thought i hated. finally realized that there are no sonic boundaries in extremity)
Andrew Louis Are you me? Because master of puppets is what got me into metal, symbolic was one of the first maybe 10 metal albums a heard and was the first extreme thing I heard and got me into death metal and extreme metal and nails you will never be one of us introduced me to the even further extreme of metal, and is also my favorite record of last year. Reign in blood for me I didn't get a first and thought it was kind of mediocre, though now I love that album.
🤘
Master Of Puppets was the first album I ever listened to all the way through.
all those albums are fucking amazing. +1 for nails

Thank you Myke, for sharing yours and your story behind each one.
Fishbone played at my college in Philadelphia in the 1980's. To this day, one of the best gigs I have ever seen. Just a little nugget from my past!
i just saw fishbone in las vegas a few days ago. it was the last stop on george clintins final tour with pfunk. it was an awesome performance!
1) Daft Punk -Discovery
2) Kendrick Lamar -GKMC
3) Death Grips -Money Store
These albums made me appreciate music.
Lupe Fiasco - The Cool, was it for me. It made me feel comfortable being into nerdy things and being from the ends.
Great shit on here Myke. Most of these records I know quite well, but a few I wasn't aware of and now enjoy. Thanks man

Cradle Of Filth also changed my life. When I heard Tortured Soul Asylum for the first time when I was 12 I was blown away by how poetic the lyrics were. It awakened the creative writer in me, and I went from having an f in English class to attending local poetry nights and getting standing ovations.
Thank you Dani!
Also don't say Cradle is lame when you put their latest album on a top of the year list : ^ ) You ain't foolin me.
This is one of my favourite videos you have ever made and I've been watching this channel for a while. So much good hardcore and relate able punk music for me.
I'm going to make this video next week when I have some time off.
Thanks for always Inspiring, Myke
Awesome! I look forward to it, dude!
I love Cradle of Filth, even the new stuff. No fucks given.
Haha! Right on! I loved everything up until Median. After that I couldn't connect with anything until Hammer Of The Witches. But I still jam Vempire on a regular basis. IDGAF.
Yeah, Cradle of Filth is one of the most important bands in my music appreciation journey; they were essentially my gateway band into "extreme" metal genres. I will never shun them, besides the fact I still enjoy the vast majority of their material. An all-time favorite, no matter what.
CRADLE OF FILTH ARE A REAL BAND!? I thought they were just a made-up band in the IT Crowd...
Dusk is good and so is Beauty.....after that...ugh

10. Illa J - Yancey Boys
GREAT list... EVERY youtube music content creator should make a video like this. Knowing where somebody is coming from when they discuss music is of the upmost importance. Thanks, man!!
INCREDIBLE VIDEO!!! I researched and listened to all of them and I can' thank you enough! You are a treasure trove of musical knowledge.
Thank YOU Myke for making me both comfortable and happy to be a weirdo and thank you for introducing me to The Cure awhile ago. With depression and anxiety I am usually in a darker place but Disintegration and Bloodflowers helped a lot when it got bad one of those times. Along with those for me it would be much Atmosphere (spec When Life Give You Lemons), much Ben Folds/Five, Doris/IDLSIDGO, channel ORANGE, RHCP (Anything John Frusciante does), In Utero, Carrie and Lowell, and Before the Internet are the most standout to me right now.
Death's symbolic was the first death metal album I heard and one of the first probably ten metal albums I heard. The feeling when first listening to that was incredible, I'd never heard anything extreme at all before and that album was a transcendent experience, still my favorite death metal album.
All of Eyedea's albums, probably The Many Faces of Oliver Heart and First Born specifically. Opened me up to so much music and so many ideas to explore. Would be a completely different person without his influence, no doubt at all.

Hank, Carcass, Operation Ivy, etc….dope list. You have great taste. Those albums are very important to me as well.
Wrekonize's Soiree For Skeptics had a huge impact on my life and most of Brother Ali's work has really gotten me out of some dark places and kept things positive. Great vid mike
Dark Side of the Moon changed my life when I was 13, cause it was the first album I ever got seriously into, and Pink Floyd remains my favorite band to this day.
Radiohead's OK Computer was huge because I was stuck in a nothing-but-classic-rock phase until I got a job at my record store and heard this, opening my mind to a lot of modern music in general.
A Tribe Called Quest's Midnight Marauders was the first hip hop album I fell in love with at 18, and are also one of my all time favorite bands. The newest Tribe is actually my favorite one and I fucking sobbed at that album.
i might make a video like this
and i can say with 100% honesty the biggest album that changed me was discovering HIM's Razorblade Romance which id go more into detail why when/if i mike a response to this
You know...I almost put that album in this list but I felt like I'd be lying. While that's one of my all time favorite albums it didn't really alter my path at all. I was already into goth music by the time I heard RR. It just made me fall more in love with the more romantic side of the genre. But anyway, I'm stoked you're gonna do one of these! I'll be looking for it!
1. My bloody valentine- loveless
2. Kendrick- GKMC
3. J dilla- Donuts
4. Kanye- 808s and heartbreaks
5. Nick drake- pink moon
6. Run the jewels- run the jewels 2
7. Simon and Garfunkel- sounds of silence
8. Common- like water for chocolate
9. City morgue vol 1
10. 2pac- me against the world
I've never heard of that Casual album. I'll have to check it out.
Take Care Got me listening to albums, and the intricacies of a project. Crafting a specific sound, atmosphere and ambience that fits a theme and making it all makes sense. Most importantly it was good music, apealing to the ears and so different from what was going on at the time. A complete game changer.
Your taste in music is excellent. Keep up the great work!
1. the microphones - the glow, part 2
2. yob - clearing the path to ascend
3. earl sweatshirt - IDLSIDGO

Hi, Myke! I've been watching you for a while. Really appreciate the content that you put out. Shout-out from Brazil!
I really enjoyed this. Thanks for sharing this Myke.
Quality stuff. keep doing your thing man, from India, have been following dead end too for a while now. was waiting for your reviews for a week 'damn'.
That was so great to hear. I would love to come up with a list, but (and I feel like this is exemplified by your video) I feel like "albums that changed me" and "albums I love" are two very different things. I feel like I need to dig a little deeper for a list like that, so it might take a while :)
10. Kanye West - My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy (barely a favourite any more, but without a doubt ensured me that investing my time in music was worthwhile)
9. Neutral Milk Hotel - In The Aeroplane Over The Sea
8. Slint - Spiderland
7. The Smiths - The Queen Is Dead
6. Radiohead - Kid A
5. Sufjan Stevens - Illinois
4. Arcade Fire - Funeral
3. The Flaming Lips - The Soft Bulletin
2. The Cure - Disintegration
1. Animal Collective - Spirit They've Gone, Spirit They've Gone
That's a lot of interesting albums right there! Great list!
That's some 4chan shit right here, boring
This list is boring
Illinois is amazing. Hope you’ve also listened to Michigan and Carrie & Lowell
most /mu/ shit i’ve ever seen
Can’t wait to listen to all these records :) you always have great recommendations. Thx Myke
Man on The Moon 1-2, I don't like shit i don't go outside, The College Dropout, Wolf, The White Album, Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band, The Wall, Nevermind, Blonde, To pimp a butterfly, The slim shady lp, Marshall Matthers LP.
I Personally think the records that changed my life when i started listening to Metalcore has to be Parkway Drive's Killing With A Smile, Poison The Well's The Opposite of December, Or maybe As I Lay Dying's Frail Words Colapse for sure. Keep doing what you love doing bro!!
Good vid Mike, the honesty makes for relatable story.
Great video Myke!! Keep up the great work. It's great to see someone so passionate about music. I agree, that if I had not had music I honestly don't even know how different my life would have been. All I know is that it definitely wouldn't have been better lol
Silent Shout (The Knife), The Lonesome Crowded West (Modest Mouse) and Turn on the Bright Lights (Interpol) all had a huge impact on me. For some reason I just decided to listen to way more different types of music after hearing these albums.
a few albums that changed my life in my formative years..
1. The Smiths - Hatful Of Sorrow
2. Gang Of Four - Entertainment!
3. Outkast - Stankonia
4. RHCP - Californication
5. Patti Smith - Horses
6. Pixies - Doolittle

1. operation doomsday

Chris Martinez the one project that people never mention with Doom that was great was his Wu-like group Monsta Island Czars. That album was so raw to me and the beats are amazing.
Modest Mouse The Lonesome Crowded West
I relate the angst Issac Brock feels so much when talking about things that I never really experience in the same way.

making me want to write a whole blog entry or some shit thinking about this stuff. I enjoyed this video a lot.
Do it.
fuck it, i've been meaning to forever anyway, actually on wordpress setting up. thanks for the push
It's really neat how much music's impacted you outside of music preferences. Dead prez - _Lets Get Free_, The Coup - _Steal This Album_, and Aus-Rotten - _The System Works For Them_ kind of three-wayed me into socialism, but other than those every other important album in my life just changed what I looked for in music -- Slipknot's s/t made me a metalhead (you thought your kvlt status took a hit), _Flood_ by Boris made me venture outside of metal, Sissy Spacek's s/t got me into noise... those are the big ones off the top of my head. I mean there were gateway albums for every genre I'm into but it's those three that changed everything.
Really enjoyed your top 15! Suicidal Lights is a killer album, that would be in my list too.
Atmosphere really hits home for me too
Mastodon's Leviathan, Neurosis' Through Silver In Blood, Dethklok'sfirst two albums, Slipknot's first two albums, Madvillainy, Behemoth's The Satanist, The Dillinger Escape Plans Option Paralysis, Death Grips Bottomless Pit and The Money Store, Tyler the Creators Wolf (honestly was a high school angry freshman when it came out and I could honestly relate to songs like Answers at the time XD), Earl Sweatshirts Doris, Gorillaz Demon Days, Fear Factory's Obsolete, Deftones White Pony, Korn's first album (they had so much potential then but then just got BAD....), Meshuggah's Nothing, and probably finally Primus' Tales from the Punch Bowl. There's more that I could go into, but all those albums for sure peeked my interest and really made me appreciate those genres. also just in general I play music too, and all these acts have had an influence in how I play for sure. loved the video by the way Mr C Town XD... I totally liked cradle of filth as a kid too, but now am embarrassed a little bit as well. at least they're not avenged sevenfold -____- XD
Damaged by Black Flag changed my life. I was 14 at the time, and since I was born in 1995 that record was obviously already an established classic from back in 81. At that time I started getting into Punk through Rancid (another band who's work changed my life, especially Out Come the Wolves and Life Wont Wait), Social Distortion, NOFX, etc. While I loved those bands, and especially Tim Armstrong from Rancid and Mike Ness were artists I felt (still feel in alot of ways) a very deep connection to, there was something missing. I felt like there was no music that properly represented my hate for myself and the world. Then one day I was walking through the aisles of a record store, and saw the cover of Henry Rollins punching a mirror. I felt like I was called upon to hear this album. Ever since then I haven't been the same. Rarely can I relate to an artist to such a large degree as I can to Henry Rollins. This record pretty much introduced me to one of my biggest heros. And after that I just consumed all the classics from 80's hardcore punk. That being said, being a teenager in the late 2000's- early 10's made finding friends kinda hard when you're blasting Kids From the Black Hole all day. Let's just say the Lil Wayne fans didn't quite get it...
This isn't an album but a playlist from a game that I can definitely say changed my life. The first time I played Tony Hawk Pro Skater and heard the soundtrack on that game, hearing Police Truck by Dead Kennedys alone was worth the money. I was 9 so I just listened to whatever my family was listening to or what was on the radio. I feel like the THPS series in general was what got a lot of us Mexican kids into not just punk/metal but all kinds of interesting music from different genres.
Achtung Baby - U2
Kid A - Radiohead
Blue Day (EP) - Slowdive
Noice m8
Carly Rae Jepsen - Emotion Side B was the album that smashed the genre barrier for me. Hearing a pop record I could play from start to finish and resonate heavily with made me completely open to everything.
Nimrod is the most important album to me. Without listening to Nimrod in sixth grade I wouldn't be where I am today. I wouldn't enjoy music. The other two are more bands. Merzbow for helping me discover Harsh Noise and Panopticon for helping me discover my all time favorite sub genre-Atmospheric Black Metal. I loved this video. It is very important for people to see someone else who is like them whether it be a band member, friend, or celebrity. A lot of people discover more to themselves by seeing someone who looks and/or acts like them succeeding.
Odd Future Tap Vol. 2 completely changed my life. Up until that point I was just into hardcore and metal but I realised that Odd Future had just as much aggression as all the hardcore stuff I was listening to. I had heard Yonkers before that but I wasn't convinced but when I saw the videos for rella and ny ned flander I was blown away. I know it isn't a good album now I look back but I wouldn't have found hip hop without it and I'm forever thankful for that
TO PIMP A BUTTERFLY !!!!!!
that album woke up my soul bruhh
So many albums I can put it would take forever.
A handful of hip-hop albums are :
Big L- Lifestylez ov da poor and dangerous
Company Flow - Funcrusher Plus
ODB - Return to the 36 Chambers
OGC- The Storm
A few non hip hop :
Black Sabbath - Paranoid
SOAD - SOAD
RATM - RATM
Primus - Sailing the seas of cheese
Justice - The cross
Nero - Welcome Reality
NoFX - Wolves in Wolves Clothing, I was in private school at the time and finding pop punk with those themes definitely had an effect on me, for the better imo.
top 5
1.) God Loves Ugly- the album that single handedly sparked my love for underground hip hop and made me pay attention to the little things in music. It also gave me a positive attitude when i was going through a rough time.
2.) Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City- opened me up to the idea that there is some great hip hop out there today. It was one of the first concept albums i immediately played over and over.
3.) Midnight Marauders- dropped on the same day as one of my top three all time, this was the first non Eminem album i ever bought. This album is why i am still into hip hop. It changed my life perspective to be as positive and pure minded as i could be. It brought me to find groups and artists like Outkast, De La, Common, and Del.
4.) Enter The Wu Tang- This was the album that made me go from liking hip hop to becoming a life long fan. It was my introduction to the raw and rugged type sound that the mid 90's became known for. Also it reconnected me with Ghostface who i heard a couple years before but was too young to remember.
5.) A Piece Of Strange- Cunninlynguists/ The Minstrel Show- Little Brother- both these albums couldnt be anymore different. At the time i listened to both of these, i was just starting to dive into the underground and i wanted something a lot more spiritual and uplifting than what i was getting, and there they were. Each took me on a path that i wish i could stay on: A path of enlightenment and just straight passion. They showed me just how beautiful the genre of hip hop really could be.
The smirk on my face the moment you mentioned Cradle of Filth.
Busdriver- Temporary Forever
Mndsgn- Yawn Zen
Sun Ra- Antique Blacks
Flying Lotus- Cosmogramma
Daedelus- Invention
Pharoah Sanders- Elevation
Eyedea- Many Faces of Oliver Hart
Grieves- Together/Apart
Carlos Nino- Aquariussssss
these are a few that i can think of from the top of my head that have shaped me as a person in some ways by introducing me to whole new ideas and ways of thinking also just helped on emotional levels
Beach Fossils - What a pleasure EP helped a lot after my break up
The Beach Boys' "Pet Sounds" and "SMiLE," as well as the Beatles' "Rubber Soul" and "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" are four albums that seriously changed me. They changed how I listened to music as a whole, they got me deeper into weirder, more experimental music, and actually changed me as a person.
Other albums that had a major impact on me are: Late Registration (actually got me into Hip-Hop music), To Pimp a Butterfly, Carrie & Lowell, Are You Experienced, The Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, The Velvet Underground & Nico, Abbey Road, Stadium Arcadium, Coloring Book, Blond(e), Stankonia, Doris, Wolf, and probably some others that I can't think of right now.
Names you don't often hear dropped, Johnny Paycheck & Screeching Weasel.
Would love to see a video on you showing off your Merle Haggard collection. Waylon would have to be my favourite Country artist but Haggard is right up there.
Is This It - The Strokes
The Suburbs - Arcade Fire
Revolver - The Beatles
Plowing Into the Field of Love - iceage
The Seer - Swans
Mellon Collie and the Infinte Sadness - Pumpkins
God Loves Ugly - Atmosphere
Chet Baker Sings - Chet Baker
Live at Sine - Jeff Buckley
Mothership - Led Zeppelin
There's probably a hundred more but those are the ones that first came to mind. Is This It and Revolver definitely made the biggest impact. Made me realize music could be more than just a passive listening experience.

Not an album I've listened to in like five years, but I remember hearing the opening guitar riff of "I Feel Fine" while listening to The Red Album by The Beatles and realising music was the best thing ever and I wanted to make it more than anything else in the world. Not actually an album, but watching live performances of Teen Age Riot on youtube really opened me up to the noisier side of music (as did going and listening to Sonic Youth albums after falling in love with that song), and I'd say Van Morrison's Astral Weeks and John Coltrane's A Love Supreme really gave me an appreciation of the fragile beauty of life.

I can say Dillinger Escape Plan is what got me into both metal and punk. I listen to tons of everything expiremental as well now, not sure If I'd be into music so much with out em.
I feel you on that Cradle of Filth shit. Hopsin of all people was the one who led me to appreciate hip hop
Only Theater of Pain, Dusk and Her Embrace, God Loves Ugly, Disintegration, and Heartwork were all huge impacts on me personally. Excellent picks, Myke.
I used to only listen to Metal, classic rock and alternative until I heard "Good kid, m.A.A.d city" completely open my ears to a new world.

milez the caption chronic (I hope this doesn't sound corny) the 1st time I listened to daydreaming I was walking to my car and it started to rain, I swear I felt like time had slowed down and I could see everything around me so vividly
+Drew the first time I listened to daydreaming I was feeling sick and it no joke made me feel perfectly fine.
Can I ask why Trap Lord is there. I like the album I've just never heard anyone say it was "life changing"
John Turner Yeah it was the album that got me into really listening music and not just hearing it. Not that anything deep is really said on the album though.
Great video, man. Love your work.
cannibal ox the cold vein change my perspective on hip hop
six sense Iron Galaxy is chilling. "What you figure, that chalky outline on the ground is a father figure?" Heavy shit
so he step to the next stencil that a husler infested with money and diamond cluster. too dope
That album was made 300 years in the future by robots.. so good.
Changed my perspective on hip hop as well
Seeing Sounds by N.E.R.D man I'll never forget the first time I saw the Everyone Nose video and flipping out on the best bought this album and it's been the reason why I've been so into music ever since
1. NWA- Straight Outta Compton- first hip hop album I ever listened to, in like the fifth grade it came on my RUclips suggestions
2. Outkast- Stankonia- I love aquemini and southernplayisticadillacmuzik to but this got me into outkast, which is now my favorite hip hop group. Showed me what an album can be. A musician can talk about complex politics, spiritual themes, or just brag rap in one album
3. The Smiths- Meat Is Murder- I was a vegetarian, remember driving aimlessly listening, though I've heard this album before and loved the smiths I became vegan then
4. Dead Kennedys- Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables- First hardcore punk album I loved, got me into left wing politics
5. Kendrick Lamar- To Pimp A Butterfly- I remember listening to institutionalized totally awe struck, I never really heard a song like it, overall an amazing album
6. Catch A Fire- Bob Marley- Started listening through my dad, really love this album and it got me into reggae. First smoked to this album so it impacted me in that way
7. Arctic Monkeys- Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not- Alex Turner's lyrics on this album really spoke to me. I am an average kid who gets kinda lost at bigger parties and I'm not really socially awkward either so to here songs through that light is great
8- Dead Prez- Let's Get Free- I love this album. Helped me get into revolutionary politics.
9. Immortal Technique- Revolutionary Volume One- With eight helped me get into revolutionary politics
10. The Beatles- Magical Mystery Tour- Amazing album. One of my favorites for sure my favorite Beatles album, I love blue jay way
11. Pet Sounds- My dad loves this album. So got me into music
12. Lupe Fiasco- Food and Liquor- First heard this album after going through a breakup that was hard on me, his voice helped me get by.
13. The Libertines- The Libertines- A standout of garage rock, at the time I was almost exclusively listening to rap and it got me back into rock music
14. The Stooges- The Stooges- don't know how many times I've heard this album. Every time I take something new from it. Every song is raw and hard and great
15. Run The Jewels- Run The Jewels Two- Through this I started listening to el-p and through that industrial music that would come up in suggestions on RUclips, great album.
had no idea u used to skate, that's awesome. virtual reality was groundbreaking.
Man, that Hank Williams has been in my record collection for years. I fucking adore that album. Much love.
i never listened intelligently to music before hearing a rush of blood to the head by coldplay. while it does seem a bit odd in hindsight for that album to be the point that influenced me in my music journey, i had just never heard anything that had truly resonated with me beyond simply being catchy. i have found a multitude of better example of albums that really make me feel feelings i want to feel as a result of music, that was the first one that made me realize there was something to look for.
