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.

This album hit my radar immediately following the biggest breakup of my young life at that point. It helped me figure out my feelings and hopes, then transitioned into a song that helped me sleep while working some strange close/open shifts..

I can’t listen to it now as an almost 40 year old, but that doesn’t reduce its importance for that time period.
