[ass*assassin]

dark side of the moon pink floyd
revolver beatles
black album metallica
nevermind nirvana
2112 rush

[rasputin]

Breaking Benjamin - We Are Not Alone
The Beatles - One
Metallica - Black Album
Michael Jackson - Thriller
The Doors - The Doors

[GARGANTUAN]

In order

1. Ion Dissonance - Breathing is Irrelevant
2. Anatomy of a Ghost - Evanesce
3. Ion Dissonance - Solace
4. Into the Moat - The Design
5. Direwolf - Beyond the lands of human existence

or maybe subsititute direwolf with psyopus - ideas of reference or every time i die - last night in town


Although the design and solace were made within the last 3-5 years both overly impressed me and shoved their way into my top 5. Direwolf's release this year was amazing so I felt it deserved the last spot on my list. BII by ID and AOAG's release evanesce are still both my favorite releases since 8th grade/freshman year of high school which I still listen to today.

[ruker]

Man, ITM is so bad ass...they'd def crack my top 10. Since you're a big Ion D fan, new album....good or no? I haven't listend to it completely yet but nothing so far to make me say "why the fuck did they do that".

[Marchy]

Igor Stravinsky's - Rites of Spring
Fugazi - Red Medicine
The Melvins - Stag or Stoner Witch (both are just as good)
Rage Against the Machine - Evil Empire
Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation

Honestly I could go on forever ugh

[Chivas]

If Greatest Hits Count:
Rush - Chronicles
Iron Maiden - The Essential Iron Maiden
Metallica - Master of Puppets
Pink Floyd - All the Best Bricks
Tool - Lateralus or Aenima depending on my mood

If Greatest hits don't count, then 2112 instead of Chronicles and Number of the Beast instead of Essential and The Wall instead of Bricks

[ricky]

4. Sugar - Copper Blue


Man this is a great album, seems like every song is "hit" worthy

Are there other cds any good

[TheMOB]

Awesome, I'm surprised anyone else here has heard that album. How'd you find out about it? Their other album, File Under: Easy Listening is pretty great too (though I prefer Copper Blue, obviously). And then you should probably check out Bob Mould's previous band, Husker Du, if you haven't already.

[drone]

Igor Stravinsky's - Rites of Spring


i'm probably one of the last people who will actually make an effort to listen to classical, but that piece is fucking awesome.

[TheMOB]

The best part is that it caused a riot the first time it was performed. Mostly because of the dancing (it was a ballet), but still. Imagine how absurd a piece of music today would have to be to cause something like that? Truly revolutionary stuff.

i just saw it on your list and hadn't heard of the band so i checked it out

[saut]

1. The Beatles - The White Album
2. Yes - Close to the Edge
3. Led Zeppelin - Houses of the Holy
4. Morte Macabre - Symphonic Holocaust
5. King Crimson - Red

[TheMOB]

i just saw it on your list and hadn't heard of the band so i checked it outOh, cool. Glad you liked it. Very under appreciated album.

[sani]

1. Menuhin plays Paganini
2. Queens of the Stone Age - Rated R
3. Noumena - Absence
4. Rage Against The Machine - S/T
5. Buena Vista Social Club - S/T

[Ignatz]

I don't hold with putting greatest hits collections on "greatest album" lists. An album is a group of songs that are done within a short period of time and meant to be together.

Joni Mitchell - Blue
The Clash - London Calling
Jane's Addiction - Ritual de lo Habitual
Rage Against The Machine
Radiohead - OK Computer

I admit I haven't listened to enough albums over the last 7-10 years to really know if any belong on the list.

[Tr0uBl3m4k3r^]

Top 5 new albums:

1. Symphony X - Paradise Lost
2. Dream Theater - Systematic Chaos
3. Planet X - Quantum
4. Rush - Snakes and Arrows
5. Spheric Universe Experience - Anima

[SithDrummer]

MxPx - At the Show
Explosions in the Sky - The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place
Goo Goo Dolls - Dizzy Up The Girl
The Mars Volta - Frances the Mute
Sarah McLachlan - Afterglow


Followed soon after by the runner-up, Muse - Black Holes & Revelations

[puppychow]

Metallica - Black Album


i know this is a flame free forum, but im just aghast at how someone could list the black albulm as one of their favs considering, imo and others opinion it was the begenning of their downfall.

kill em all > black
master > black
lightning > black
justice > black

maybe it was a timing / age thing.

[LoSi]

All That Remains - The Fall of Ideals
Opeth - Ghost Reveries
Norma Jean - Redeemer
Job For A Cowboy - Doom
Between the Buried and Me - Alaska

[One Winged Angel]

I'll restrict myself to one album per band, to make it more interesting, and 'cause I only got 5 slots.

Opeth - My Arms Your Hearse
Candlemass - Tales of Creation
Agalloch - The Mantle
Radiohead - OK Computer
The Mars Volta - De-Loused in the Comatorium

That was actually still pretty hard to pick only 5.

[amuse]

1. nitro mega prayer - songs of hypocrisy
2. envy - a dead sinking story
3. gauge means nothing - the absent trail of an echo and my future plagued by surrender
4. heaven in her arms
5. dipleg - no one hurt at a place of love

[Mukey]

1.) Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin II
2.) Rush - Moving Pictures
3.) Electric Light Orchestra - Out of the Blue
4.) Blue Oyster Cult - Don't Fear the Reaper (The Best of Blue Oyster Cult)
5.) At the Drive-In - Relationship of Command

I agree, very hard to pick 5. A lot of other albums equal or maybe even better.

[DarthGreg]

This is tough. I've got to work on my next 4 but #1 is definitely Nine Inch Nails - The Fragile.

[Ignatz]

3. gauge means nothing - the absent trail of an echo and my future plagued by surrender

There is no way NO WAY that an album named this could ever be top 5 anything except maybe Top 5 Gayest Album Titles Ever.

If, like me, you subscribe to the Beavis & Butthead Eye Test Theory ("This band sucks." "How do you know they suck?" "Just look at 'em!"), this album title gets a Z-. There's no way it could be any good. I refuse to believe it. Only faggot posers name their album something this stupid.



Edit: oh and to elaborate on the greatest hits albums thing, if you include them in discussions of Greatest Album Ever, then you're really not talking about the greatest album ever, you're talking about what band had the greatest career ever.

Lots of bands release 10-20 records in a career and have a couple of good songs off of each one, if you put all the good ones on one collection then wa la you got a "great album." It's much more impressive to release one album with ALL good songs, that you wrote and recorded all in a few months or a year, and that all fit together and make up a great singular musical achievement. That kind of album is 10x better than the best greatest hits collection.

[SteelValor]

Lullacry - Be My God
Lullacry - Vol 4
Ratt - Out of the Cellar
Ozzy - Greatest Hits

I can't pick after that, but you can be damn sure the rest of my list has a hawt chick is signing on top of some raging guitar riffs.

[schwaBAM]

I rotate these over and over:
1. Rancid - And out come the wolves
2. Nirvana - Bleach
3. Green Day - Kerplunk (I like old pre-Dookie Green Day)
4. Operation Ivy
5. Butthole Surfers - Electriclarryland

Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation
My brother would get along with you. He loves Sonic Youth, The Pixies, Frank Black, and Bob Dylan. I remember him and my old roommate listening to Fugazi a bit too. You might like to check out some of my brothers songs, they have influenced him the most.

[ZeusofIowa]

1. Pink Floyd- Dark Side of the Moon
2.. Nirvana- Nevermind
3. Umphrey's Mcgee- Safety In Numbers
4. Frank Zappa- Joe's Garage
5. The Who- Quadraphenia
5a- Led Zeppelin- III


(When I first started I started to do best albums, not my own personal arg)

[GriffiN^]

1. Radiohead - OK Computer
2. Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
3. Atmosphere - God Loves Ugly
4. Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral
5. Sublime - Sublime

[derno]

1. The Faint - Danse Macabre
2. The Postal Service - Give Up

1. Nine Inch Nails - The Fragile
2. A Tribe Called Quest - Midnight Marauders
3. Radiohead - The Bends
4. Common - Resurrection
5. Wu-Tang Clan - Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)

Its very hard to narrow it down to 5. Also worth mentioning is Mos Def - Black on Both Sides, the Black Star album, and Slayer - Reign in Blood.

[hate]

(alphabetical order)
Brand New- The Devil And God Are Raging Inside Me
Coheed And Cambria- The Second Stage Turbine Blade
Nas- Stillmatic
Pink Floyd- Dark Side of the Moon
Underoath- They're Only Chasing Safety

[Gogeta]

Overall:
1. Exodus - Bonded By Blood
2. Iced Earth - Alive In Athens
3. Manowar - Hail To England/Sign Of The Hammer/Into Glory Ride(why choose)
4. Amorphis - Eclipse
5. Iron Maiden - Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son
That looks like it would be an amazing playlist.


None of the lists have an order. It's too hard for me to decide overall top 5.

Megadeth - Rust in Peace
Opeth - Ghost Reveries
Pantera - Cowboys from Hell
Manowar - Kings of Metal
Testament - The New Order
____

Spinal Tap - This is Spinal Tap
Isis - Oceanic
The Mars Volta - Frances the Mute (this one grows on me)
The Who - (cant pick 1 album)
Players Club - Clean
____

RJD2 - Deadringer
RJD2 - Since We Last Spoke
Arrested Development - 3 Years, 5 Months & 2 Days in the Life Of...
Mix Master Mike - Suprize Packidge (The Automator Mix)
Al-pha-X - A Plea for Sanity


It's alot, I know. I can't help it :\

[ruker]

Wow, you mentioned Isis. And not once did you mention Tool....will you please have my babies?! Isis anyday > textbookfaggots Tool. I guess i can forgive you for having Ghost Reveries as your favorite Opeth album though. :P

[kno[x]]

And then metions Pantera...

[ruker]

Pantera is like Metallica though....you have had to have gotten into them at least once in you're metal-life, so its only inevitable that you have somewhat of an attachment to them. With that being said, The Great Southern Trendkill would've been a better choice IMO. Then again I would probably put Superjoint Ritual's Use Once And Destroy over anything Pantera. You can't hate on Dime Bag no matter how overrated you think he was. I mean shit, the guy would drink himself into obliteration and still be able to shred, somewhat.

Honestly, its much better than whoever mentioned Job For A Cowboy - DOOM. That was the biggest LOL of my life to date. Too bad my bands wern't as generic and boring as them otherwise I'd be in a big myspace faggot band too. But then he mentioned BTBAM's Alaska which is completely opposite of generic and boring so I can't take his top 5 seriously. :p

yea pantera is sort of like metallica in that way, even though metallica is much better, but i can see the comparison. i've only ever liked cowboys from hell to the point where i can listen to it all at once, i mean if i want to listen to pantera i'll just listen to the song verbal razors by exodus.

[dramling]

Low: The Curtain Hits the Cast
Minor Threat: Discography
Buzzcocks: Singles Going Steady
Goldie: Timeless
Sex Pistols: Never Mind the Bollocks

I had to edit out something that I loved but I'd have been remiss if I didn't acknowledge the first full exposure to Drum and Bass that I got. Drum and bass hit the US a bit later than it did overseas and I'm still as into it as I ever was so not tossing something in there would have been a big omission. While Timeless wasn't the first thing I heard, I'd venture to say it got a whole lot of people into the genre.

[TheMOB]

I love that Buzzcocks album (although I guess technically it's a compilation?). "Ever Fallen In Love?" might be the best punk song ever.

[Jamz]

1. NiN - The Fragile
2. A Perfect Circle - Mer De Noms
3. Deftones - White Pony
4. Rage Against the Machine - Battle for L.A.

Isis is the shit, thought honestly I might have to pick Celestial > Oceanic :/
other note worthy mentions, Neurosis' Through Silver and Blood

Anything from Liars
I am too drunk to think of stuff from all my music
metallica was ok for their time (up to some songs from "Black"), but now they are just choads
Pantera was also ok for their time, vulgar through TGSTG was good, but now i dunno.

I am glad NIN - The Fragile was put in some people's list, very under-respected album imo

[q]

there is no way celestial is better than oceanic

Well, a band you could recommend to anyone sounds like a good band to me. I only brought it up because I really can't stand NIN, but love Red Sparowes. So you don't have to like NIN or Tool to enjoy them.
