Also, how much money did you get for yr birthday that you could afford 15 cd's?

Yeah I love Teenager of the Year too.....Space Is Gonna Do Me Good.

I got $100 from different family members. I'm gonna buy the cds used though to save some cash.

bmr geffen reissue got mutilated as I sed somewhere else on this forum. still worth owning for sure, even though you don't get to hear thurston mumbling about sonic.. sonic life yeah it's all abut sonic life

At least get all of the SY, Zen Arcade and Psychocandy

oh Sci Fi is showing the "Nick of Time" episode of The Twilight Zone right now!

I can't narrow it down to 15, but hope what I've bolded may help you to trim down your list a bit.
* an asterisk designates an album that I do not have.

I forgot Richard Hell, also highly essential.
