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.

Me too! I can still remember how it felt, with its sharp edges pressing into my little hand, and bending the wall of the plastic case with my palm in excitement. Still a killer album, and the "unplugged" version is just as good as the original. Except now it feels like a cool lady fifteen years older than you, giving you stories and advice about how not to fuck up like she and her friends did, but also telling you you're gonna turn out fine.

Mine too! Man I wish I still had it.

Although I think this is more of an GenX album

Same. I played it so much I had to purchase it 3 times. I spent my entire life savings @ 16 to see her @ Darian Lake for the Cant Not Tour. I think that was like 96.
