These are my “my” albums.
It’s in the teens that it normally happens: we develop spots, we hate our parents, we try to fit in by being special and unique and, among all the other things, some of us shape and form a love and passion for music.
Being born in 1978, I hit the teens and this era at the beginning of the 90’s.
I think most of us have a few albums we like to call “my” album. Since last year I decided to let go of my analog music collection (I gave away roughly 400 CDs to Marcus Burman), and maintain only a digital music library, I actually don’t have any albums I theoretically can call “my” album, but I mean “my” as in personal and spiritual terms, not as in “ownership” or “written by”.
Here below I have pasted together a montage of my first albums. Not my absolute favorite albums - my first. These are the ones that made me passionate about music… the ones that made me sit in my room playing guitar 6 hours straight. The albums I sometimes call “my” albums even if I don’t get any royalties.
