It’s in the teens that it normally happens: we develop spots, we hate our parents, we try to fit in by being special and unique and, among all the other things, some of us shape and form a love and passion for music.
Being born in 1978, I hit the teens and this era at the beginning of the 90′s.
I think most of us have a few albums we like to call “my” album. Since last year I decided to let go of my analog music collection (I gave away roughly 400 CDs to Marcus Burman), and maintain only a digital music library, I actually don’t have any albums I theoretically can call “my” album, but I mean “my” as in personal and spiritual terms, not as in “ownership” or “written by”.
Here below I have pasted together a montage of my first albums. Not my absolute favorite albums – my first. These are the ones that made me passionate about music… the ones that made me sit in my room playing guitar 6 hours straight. The albums I sometimes call “my” albums even if I don’t get any royalties.

Came across you website looking for Lyrics for Mental Hippie Blood. This was also a staple in my musical diet during my teen years. I had a band in California that covered Chosen, even though to this day I do not have much of a clue and took my best guess on what the lyrics are. It’s to bad these guys did not have more of an impact in the states. They in my opinion where way ahead of their time. Now if I could only find it on CD in the states.
Have a Good One
