Let Me Speak. Let Me Spit Out My Bitterness.

The rules: Don't take too long to think about it. Fifteen albums that you've heard that will always stick with you. List the first fifteen you can recall in no more than fifteen minutes. Tag fifteen friends, including me because I'm interested in seeing what albums my friends choose. To do this (on Facebook), go to your Notes tab on your profile page, paste rules in a new note, cast your fifteen picks, and tag people in the note.
