#1 Pink Floyd's The Wall. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBv5MDhLwj4 Where do I even begin... This album changed my life. I love every single thing about it. I've spent countless hours theorizing over it, endlessly pondering its many mysteries and analyzing it senseless. Every time I listen to it I find something new to love. Roger's sorrowful wailing or seductive beckoning David's passionate guitar. Nick's always-perfect drumming. The groovy basslines. It strikes me like nothing else can. As for the movie, it's my favorite movie ever. I love Gerald Scarfe, and when I found out that he did the art for that movie I was so excited. He did such beautiful art. The animation was creative, flowing, and flawless. The live action had excellent timing and the casting was perfect. Bob Geldof really put his all into it. Everyone does. The story is very close to home for me. I've not had an easy life, and I've "fixed" a lot of my problems by door-slamming. I put up walls around me and isolate myself from other people. It's simply my nature. Eventually this caused a lot of mental problems for me, and like Pink I had a mental breakdown. I recovered, and around that time I became good friends with my current boyfriend. We bonded quickly, two emotional teenagers, and he let me borrow his copy of the album. I listened to it nonstop for a very long time. It really made me rethink my door-slamming. The day I first listened to that album I finally agreed to go to therapy and get over a lot of old grief and fear. That was the start of my recovery, and I owe it to Pink Floyd. #2 Depeche Mode's Black Celebration http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pJQKW6Z7TU&list=PL61D7FDD974F36552&index=87 Every single song on this album has a special place in my heart. This is another album my boyfriend introduced me to. I was a dark, brooding, lonely teenager with a lot of wicked ideas. I never stopped thinking, I never stopped daydreaming, I never stopped having moral dilemmas. It became MY album. All the songs are spectacular, but my favorite song off of it is Here Is the House. The line "I feel your warmth and it feels like home" always makes me cry. I always felt unsafe in my own home because of my anxiety. I never really felt home anywhere and I had panic attacks and extreme compulsive paranoia. But when I was in my best friend's arms and he said that he loved me... that felt like home. We were the two teenagers in that song, simply sharing stories, hopes, dreams, warmth. We were each other's home.
