Top 5 albums

It's relatively easy to namedrop artists, bands and songs that you love, but choosing your all-time favorit albums can be a bit more difficult. Whice are your favorits and why (optional, but could be interesting to hear):

Mine are (at this moment!):

1. "Damage Done" by Dark Tranquillity
2. "Minas Morgul" by Summoning
3. "Hammerheart" by Bathory
4. "Slaugther of the Soul" by At The Gates
5. "Sindustriers" by Gardenian

I base my choices on the fact that I've listened to these albums for years and they're still just as good and interesting, aswell as the overally quality of the songs (as in no "fillers" or uninspired tracks).

Your turn!

Heh, I got these DOWN!

City of Evil - Avenged Sevenfold (Of course)
The Messengers - August Burns Red
Rise of the Tyrant - Arch Enemy
A Matter of Life or Death - Iron Maiden
Curtain Call - Eminem (Yes, I know, it's the odd one out )

I picked these because they mean so much to me, and I never get tired of listening to them.

Promised Land - Queensryche
Master of Puppets - Metallica
October Rust - Type O Negative
The Joshua Tree - U2
Greatest Hits - Bruce Springsteen

This is, of course, subject to change, with the exception of "Promised Land". That one will ALWAYS top the list.

1) Number Ones - Michael Jackson. (and Thriller, Bad, dangerous, History and The Ultimate Collection) Sorry, i cheated
2) Fallen - Evanescence
3) Open Door - Evanescence
4) Ghost Reveries - Opeth
5) Comalies - Lacuna Coil

Great choice there, I think it's their best album yet. It might have been on my list if it didn't creep me out so much! If music can be scary, this is it.

Jimi Hendrix - Axis
Grin - 1+1
Randy California - Kaptain Kopter
Vietnam Veterans - Crawfish for the Notary
Canned Heat - Living the Blues

I don't know that any list would stay constant for me but those but those would always be up there.

This changes dramatically depending on my mood, but still:

1) Pink Floyd: Dark Side of the Moon
2) Metallica: Ride the Lightning
3) Jimi Hendrix: Are you Experienced?
4) Rush: Fly by Night
5) Pink Floyd: Wish you Were Here


Ten years ago there would have been a lot more metal up there. I guess my tastes have changed a bit.

1." Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness" - The Smashing Pumpkins
2. "Adore" - The Smashing Pumpkins
3. "Jar of Flies" - Alice in Chains
4. "Dirt"- Alice in Chains
5. ( Tie) "Issues" - Korn and "The Downward Spiral"- Nine Inch Nails

All of these albums have changed the way I think about myself, and what I expect from music.
The Metallica album is important because that was the first album I remember hearing. My father is a huge Metallica fan, so he'd play their music when we were kids. Good times!

2. Dream Police (Cheap Trick)
3. The Wall (Pink Floyd)
4. Dark Side of the Moon (Pink Floyd)

2.)The Mars Volta - Amputechture (yes i love the mars volta)

Great album! I saw them live a few years ago. They played Mindcrime and Mindcrime II Back to back. They were flawless.
