In order of chronological personal discovery, my most loved albums:
Massive Attack Blue Lines (1991) (love this album so much. the album of the 90s)
Nirvana - Unplugged in New York (1993) (probably not their best, but it was the first I listened to and made me understand Nirvana are not just noise, but actually a band with an emotion at their core)
Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness (1995) (again, probably objectively not their best, but it was the first I listened to and I learn how to play the guitar from this album)
dEUS - Worst Case Scenario (1994) (another album that I listened to on repeat and defined my teenage years)
Belle and Sebastian - Tigermilk (1996) (such a sweet album, used to play it with my friends all the time)
Portishead - Dummy 1994) (this album changed the whole listening experience. Stopped listening only to rock and started listening to electronic/drum&bass and also to "world" music. it made me open up and become the whole music lover that i am now)
Jeff Buckley - Sketches for my sweetheart the Drunk (1997) (it was my first Buckley album, so it's closer to my heart)
Lauryn Hill - The Miseducation Of (1998) (such a fierce album from a woman. one the first albums that I remember by a woman artist. Very empowering)
Sigur Ros - Agaetis Byrjun (1999) (I had just broken up with my bf and I listened to that and stopped crying in a sec. I still "use" that album now when I'm feeling agitated/anxious
John Coltrane - Trane's Blues (1999) (again, not the "official" best, but I listened to this album so many many times, i probably know every little note by heart)
Lhasa - The Living Road 2003) (again, not necessarily the best in an objective way, but it was the first i listened to so it's closer to my heart)
Ani DiFranco - Living in Clip (1997) (love this woman so much, this was a hard pick, but its her most genuine one)
Joni Mitchell - Blue (1971) (a more recent - last 10 years - discovery, but one of the albums that most resonates with me for its lyrics and emotion)
