20 Albums Responsible For Changing the Way We See Music

The first ever album I was able to purchase with my own money in middle school was No Pads, No Helmets . . . Just Balls by Simple Plan. Since NSYNC broke up, and I was getting over the grieving process . . . I needed a new band to obsess over. I remember watching TRL and the music video "Perfect" came on and I was like, OMG SO RELATEABLE! Then my whole preteen angst-emo-punk-rock phase commenced . . . it was a very confusing time.
