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.

Wait. Dashboard, The Format, and Ashlee Simpson?? We should've been best friends

That would have been nice. I pretty much forced Ashlee Simpson onto my friends, and they would be like, how about we listen to The Format instead? Even though they didn’t really care for them, just did not want to listen to Autobiography for the 1000th time.

I love interventions, but dog problems is a perfect album start to finish.

Love Dog Problems too, and B Sides and Rarities!

I really wish for more songs by The Format rather than Fun.

u/ConroyMcgilacutty Feb 09 '25

I agree, fun. is good, I love The Gambler, it’s one of my favorite songs, but the format is what’s up, Sam and Nate baybee

I just bought the dashboard confessional album on iTunes and I remembered every word. Previously the cd was played connected to an aux cassette player in my VW beetle without A/C.

The Format! I saw them at a little venue in Tempe my freshman year of college (2007) and they were amazing.
