There you go! In some way or another, these albums have inspired me. There are a lot more that I could name including Frank Sinatra "Classic Sinatra," Demon Hunter "Summer of Darkness" & "Storm the gates of Hell." This list started as my top 10, but I realized I love music way too much to narrow it down that much!
