"The first four of my top ten albums are representative of my ‘tween’ years. I bought my first Christian CD
(Rachael Lampa’s Kaleidoscope) in 2002, when I was just 9 years old. After that, I fell in love with Jump5, and
they became my favorite artist at that time. I’m still a pop lover at heart, but my musical tastes have branched out a lot to
include pop/rock (Hawk Nelson, Paramore, Fireflight), hard rock (Skillet, Thousand Foot Krutch, Children 18:3), and even a
bit of metal (Flyleaf). It’s more difficult and agonizing than you may think to put together just ten albums from a whole
decade, so I’ve included some honorable mentions as well. These are in order of release..."
