(The requirements to make this list are that this album was consistently listened throughout at least a year at some time in my past and/OR was influential or impactful on my musical taste.)

I have ordered this by life phase/year. And a lot are approximate. I wish I could list all the influences that brought certain music into my life but that’s too personal/will make this too long. But 2007 was a doozy and that’s pretty clear!
