Today, I'm diving into something really special—sharing my top five albums that have significantly shaped my musical taste, yet you've probably never heard of them.

I've been deeply influenced by these hidden gems since my youth. Growing up with a diverse musical environment, thanks to my dad, I was exposed to an eclectic mix that ranged from obscure 80s hits to profound lyrical masterpieces. Each album I discuss today holds a special place in my heart and has contributed to my own songwriting and musical expression.

In this episode, I'll walk you through each album, sharing why they resonate with me and how they might surprise you with their depth and innovation. From the tongue-in-cheek humor of the Dead Milkmen's "Beelzebubba" to the ethereal soundscapes of Shellyan Orphan's "Century Flower," these albums are a testament to the rich tapestry of music that lies beyond mainstream radio.

So tune in, take a note or two, and maybe you'll find your next favorite album among my top picks.
