20 Albums Responsible For Changing the Way We See Music

I owned others before this, but the first CD that I remember saving up for and purchasing on my own was the Backstreet Boys' Millennium album — and nearly 17 years (!!!) later, I stand by my choice. So many classic early-2000s pop hits debuted on that CD, from "I Want It That Way" to "Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely," and I can still sing along to most of them. My only regret is attempting to re-create the BSB's all-white outfits in public!

I originally ventured to the grungy, super cool music store in my small town to pick up *NSYNC's No String's Attached with my babysitting money, but my love for Brian Littrell prevailed at the last minute. No regrets.
