Definitive Records asks interesting Vancouverites to pick the three albums that anchor their musical tastes. Today, we hear from the founder of Miss 604…

Pearl Jam – Ten | LISTEN | “It was the first tape I stole from my sister and I played it non-stop until I knew every word to every song. Then I would listen to the songs again to focus on individual instruments or lyrics. It saved me from my New Kids on the Block phase.”

Less Than Jame – Hello Rockview | LISTEN | “When I was a teenager I got into punk/ska — the shows were cheap, I liked the pace, and I could find MP3s online. When Less Than Jake came out with Hello Rockview I was tinkering more with web publishing and created my first website, which was a fan page with discography, show pics, tour dates, and more. It was the first time I wrote and published something online.”

Death Cab For Cutie – Is This It | LISTEN | “My husband sent me the album, song by song, when we were first dating. He was living in Iowa and sharing our favourite music with each other was something that helped us get to know each other even more. We eventually had Death Cab (and Postal Service) songs at our wedding.”
