The 5 List is a series of my top five favorite things in a certain category. This first 5 List is a list of my favorite musical albums of all time. They are my favorite for various reasons. I have put them in order and will present them 1 at a time throughout the week. Enjoy My 5 List: Albums.

5. The Colour and The Shape – The Foo Fighters

It was around Christmas and I was in high school. I distinctly remember it being Christmas time when I received this album because I also received one of my all time favorite video games: Zelda: Ocarina of Time. A big reason this album is on my list is due to the connection it has with a great game like Zelda. One of my clearest memories is passing time to go over to my friend Adam’s house to hang out with my friends. I passed the time by playing a side game in Zelda where Link has to try and catch a record size fish. As I played this side quest I had “Hey, Johnny Park” (track 3) playing in the background. I ended up going over to Adam’s and having a fun night; but, I will always remember that short time before when I was playing Zelda, catching fish, and rocking out to The Colour and The Shape. Plus, Dave Grohl’s drumming on this album (Grohl, not Taylor Hawkins, recorded the drums on this album) made me appreciate drumming and love trying to myself.
