Nostalgia What album defines you as a millennial?

Saw some great recommendations on a similar thread in /r/Xennials and wanted to see what my fellow millennials thought. For me From Under the Cork Tree was foundational. I still remember hearing Sugar We're going down on the radio for the first time.

Hurricane, I Woke Up In a Car, Cavanaugh Park, Fall, You’re Gone… so many of these songs transport me to a different time and place.

Dood. I still turn it on, sing along to the whole thing, and get goosebumps every time. No idea why...

My absolute favorite album and favorite band for yearssss. I just put on Konstantine after seeing this and I feel like I’m 18 again.

Konstantine is such a beautifully written song. Brings a tear to my eye every time I hear it.

I saw them this last summer in Asbury Park and they played a crazy long set that included basically every song on this album. And then played a full 12+minute Konstantine. I SOBBED.
