Bleed American by Jimmy Eat World

Bleed American is one of the most significant albums in my life. A good friend of mine who died unexpectedly in 2001 loved this CD and told everyone he could to buy it. Now songs like Praise Chorus, My Sundown and Hear You Me (a song I still have a hard time listening to) have a special meaning every time I hear them.

Aside from sentimental reasons, I just think this is a great pop record. I would even go as far as to say it's one of the best mainstream albums to come out this decade. Sure, The Middle and Sweetness got overplayed but they were a refreshing sound on the radio given the other stuff being played at the time.
