What runs my life and keeps things going for me are these great bands who change the way we experience creativity everyday!!  There is not alot of variety here in the bands I am about to list but they have fueled my; time at the gym, drives to school, time with friends (Joe mainly!), frustration with life, and the good times I have had over the past year or so.  Some are from 09’, some are from a couple years past, but they all have meaning and a story behind each one!  I hope the one or two people that even read this will find it amusing and take a second to listen!

#10. Relative Ash (Our Time With You…), Factory 81 (Mankind), Reville (Laced), Twisted Method (Escape From Cape Coma), and Arizing (Womb)!

These albums and bands mean a great deal to me!  Almost all of them were when I was a senior in high school and fueled my transition through college, girls, and baseball!  Me and my best friend Joe have seen each one of these bands in concert and still talk about those experiences to this day!  I can’t even begin to express their relevance into events that have unfolded and the things we did!  Two things make these bands continue to be played on my ZUNE player to this day!  All of them with the exception of Reville (2) have made only one album and have since ceased to be!! Devastating to say the least when you are a teenager and these are the big bands in your life, but also makes the satisfaction one gets from listening to their one masterpiece utterly gratifying!! Secondly, they fuel workouts at the gym on a daily basis and are usually sync’d up so we can relive our experiences while throwing around the iron!!  It is amazing how these types of thing make you feel when you can attach a memory, or several, to them.  So it was a no brainer to have these few throwback albums as #10 on the list!
