  1. I own eight of those albums. Which I guess makes me not even close to halfway cool.

    Blast!

  3. Nice choices. I'm surprised to see two hip hop albums made it on your list. I also noticed the White Stripes and U2 in the top ten. In that case, if you haven't seen "It Might Get Loud," you must go rent it. Jack White, The Edge and Jimmy Page sit down to discuss the guitar, their characteristic styles and what inspired them to pick up the instrument. The film will change the way you approach making music. It shook my foundation, especially the opening scene. Jack White steals the show.
