Top 3 Greatest Hits
Iron Maiden-Edward The Great

Yeah its good

It's okay. I find Metallica a (mostly) good band, but not one that I can listen to often.

In no particular order:

- Nightwish: Wishmaster
- Therion: Theli
- Nobuo Uematsu: The Black Mages

It's okay. I find Metallica a (mostly) good band, but not one that I can listen to often.
I used to follow them very closely. But then came the Napster thing, and the selling out thing, and the string of shitty albums thing, and finally their ultimate bid for mediocrity -- touring with Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park! Hell, I can barely respect Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park for touring with Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park, but how the hell can I respect what was once one of the most influential metal bands in the world for copping out like that? They could have been a headline in the annals of musical history, now barely deserve to be a footnote.

In no particular order:

- Nightwish: Wishmaster
Awesome, awesome, awesome album! Definitely their best, imo. I'm just thrilled that with their new album, "Once," they seem to finally be breaking into the American scene!

And that's where the "mostly" comes from. :)

with once all of the magic of nightwish is gone... best album?

Pink Floyd - Meddle
Laibach - Jesus Christ Superstar
Death - Sounds of Preservarance
Dark Tranquillity - The Gallery

:)

Awesome, awesome, awesome album! Definitely their best, imo. I'm just thrilled that with their new album, "Once," they seem to finally be breaking into the American scene!

Yeah, Once was great, but not as good as Wishmaster IMO. Living in Sweden comes with the advantage of easy access to all the greatest metal groups. :)

And since I'm posting again, I might as well add Rhapsody: Symphony of the Enchanted Lands II.

A Strangely Isolated Place - Ulrich Schnauss (its trip-hop/ambient electronica)
Moondance - Van Morrison
Voices From the Dustbowl - Fragile State (again, trip-hop)

It's okay. I find Metallica a (mostly) good band, but not one that I can listen to often.
Well speaking of crap Saint Anger-people saying it was metallica of old bullshit it was mettalica of give me money to thrash out poorly written crap that dosent fit with the tunes im playing

New list, let's be a bitch:
Metallica - everything before the black album
megadeth - everything before 1994
iron maiden - everything
bathory - everything until nordland II
mayhem - deathcrush, DMDS, Chimera + some bootlegs
darkthrone - everything
marduk - most of it (i don't really like the ones with Legion)
destruction - their older stuff
saxon - practically all
motörhead - same
therion - all of it (yes even the death metal albums)
emperor - all of it
.
.
.
countless other favourites, too many styles to pick one, too many albums too like, way too many bands out there..

I just can't name my three favourites, that's too few.. i listen to a bunch of cd's every week..

I read all the aswers and seems that bands like Metallica, Pink Floyd actually all kind of rock bands are popular... Thank you whole thing has been very informative.

Don't know thou what to do with all this infomation... :)

The White Album - The Beatles
Queen II - Queen
Slipepry When Wet - Bon Jovi

The Smiths - The Queen Is Dead
U2 - The Joshua Tree
Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures

Well speaking of crap Saint Anger-people saying it was metallica of old bullshit it was mettalica of give me money to thrash out poorly written crap that dosent fit with the tunes im playing

Thankyou :D St. Anger was a piece of crap. When are they going to retire already? they're only embarrassing themselves.

1. A Night at the Opera-Queen
2. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band-The Beatles
3.Slippery When Wet-Bon-Jovi

red roses for me - the pogues
fresh fruit for rotting vegetables - the dead kennedies
millions of dead cops - mdc
reign in blood - slayer
killdozer - for ladies only

Sonata Arctica - Ecliptica
Nightwish - Once
Flogging Molly - Swagger

What? I have different tastes. PISS OFF.

1. Led Zeppelin Led Zeppelin IV (technically known as Four Symbols or simply Untitled).
2. Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
3. The Beatles - The Blue and Red Compilation Albums.

Technically there's four there, but I clump the two Beatles ones together. I own three of those four on vinyl, and 1 of them on CD.

Definetly Pink Floyd--The Wall
RHCP--By the Way
And any queen album

Suprising how many queen fans out there, gotta stand up for it though, that freddie wrote one damn good song, no matter what went on in his personal life

Thankyou :D St. Anger was a piece of crap. When are they going to retire already? they're only embarrassing themselves.
He HE He HE

I've always found picking three albums as "the best" to be a really difficult decision and it changes year by year (although obviously not due to new releases) depending on what I've been listening to...

So for now:

Metallica - Master Of Puppets (all other metal albums pale into significance)
Pearl Jam - Vs (The album that saved my life)
New Model Army - Ghost Of Cain (Everyone should own this, it's simply beautiful)

i can't believe no one has mentioned the hives yet...so

the hives - everything!, i haven't heard anything of theirs that hasn't rocked
system of a down - toxicity...and their other albums too they're all good
blindspott - blindspott
the d4 - 6twenty
greenday - american idiot
the music - welcome to the north
queens of the stone age - queens of the stone age
the strokes - both of their albums
electric six - fire

how can you pick just 3 albums? the best i can do is a top 5 bands and even then....

Loads of these are great, here's three of my favourites.

Pink Floyd - Wish you were here.
U2 - Achtung baby
Bjork - Greatest hits (if greatest hits are allowed)

1) Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon
2) Snow Patrol - Songs For Polarbears
3) The Killers - Hot Fuss

i can't believe no one has mentioned the hives yet...so

They'd get in my top 10 bands list easily, because they are so good live, but probably not my top 10 albums.

Metallica - Master Of Puppets (all other metal albums pale into significance)
I shudder to think what you call metal... :confused:
I got tons of albums with more spirit in it than master of puppets, but then noone on here would know them.

Slayer, Anthrax, Testament, Sepultura, Iron Maiden, VoiVod, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Sacred Reich, Sabbat, Acid Reign, RATM, Korn, Vio-Lence, Dark Angel, Slammer, The Beyond, Death Angel, Artillery, Annihilator, Metal Church, Militia, Xentrix, Sacrilege, Re-Animator, Onslaught, Nuclear Assault... Shall I go on?

MOP is arguably THE definitive metal album. I don't think any other album encompasses musical talent, songwriting ability and just plain good songs as well as this. Eight tracks all with a personality of their own, all beautifully composed and THEY ALL ROCK.

Muse-Absolution

Greenday-Dookie (anyone who has only recently heard of greenday n likes them,you have to get Dookie,its Greenday at their best)

Talking Heads-Stop Making Sense

Amongs others

Gomez:bring it on.
Nirvana:Nevermind
Blind melon:blind melon
Rage against the machine:Rage against the machine
Led zep :III
Jeff buckley:Live at sine e
Muse: Origin of symmetry

Except for "The Thing That Should Not Be"

Except for "The Thing That Should Not Be"
Well... again, I beg to differ. It's slow and sludgy with a very experimental overtone to it. I love the production on it. The album wouldn't be the same without it.

p.s. I love your Last Temptation Of Reid album. :D

I dunno, it's a very average song to me.

Mardi Gras.bb - Zen Rodeo
Herbie Hancock - Headhunters
Tiefschwarz - A Little Help For My Friends

Oh, and thanks, though that was Lard, which was Jello's collaboration with Ministry.

I know i've left out a billion records, these just came to mind

Except for "The Thing That Should Not Be"
Thats the best track on it

Slayer, Anthrax, Testament, Sepultura, Iron Maiden, VoiVod, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Sacred Reich, Sabbat, Acid Reign, RATM, Korn, Vio-Lence, Dark Angel, Slammer, The Beyond, Death Angel, Artillery, Annihilator, Metal Church, Militia, Xentrix, Sacrilege, Re-Animator, Onslaught, Nuclear Assault... Shall I go on?

MOP is arguably THE definitive metal album. I don't think any other album encompasses musical talent, songwriting ability and just plain good songs as well as this. Eight tracks all with a personality of their own, all beautifully composed and THEY ALL ROCK.Tastes differ.. especially in metal
Btw, i believe the best songs on MOP are Battery and Leper Messiah (the faster part has got some good riffs)

Impressive trio.

:thumbsup:

Aye, I'm aware of that. But Minitsry haven't done anything good on their own excepting Stigmata. ;)
You're kidding me, right?

You're kidding me, right?
Partially. They seem to have 2 or 3 good tracks per album since Land... and then the rest sort of all blurs into an incoherent rage.

How about some tarantula hawk?

Oasis: What's the Story? (Morning Glory)
DC Talk: Jesus Freak
Supertones: Supertones Strike Back

Doubt anyone will agree, but still.

3. Reel Big Fish - Why Do They Rock So Hard?

Reel Big Fish-yay!:D:D

Reel Big Fish-yay!:D:D
I've seen them live. May I say a big fat w00t to that!

We're gonna go to the record store,
There gonna give us all their money - this is my life plan, BTW :p

And of course to add "The Album that wouldn't die", Full Moon Fever by Tom Petty. Something like four or Five number one songs from the CD, and rarely goes a day without hearing at least ONE of the songs from that CD on the various radio stations at work (We have to switch to keep everyone happy and make it fair for all).

I Won't Back Down, Free Fallin', Runnin Down A Dream, Love Is A Long Road, Face In The Crowd, and Mind With A Heart Of Its Own all got airplay, and the other songs on the CD were great as well.

That and it had the pause on the CD while owners of records, or tapes, were busy flipping over the album, or cassette... :D

Pink Floyd "Dark Side Of the Moon"
The Doors "L.A. Woman"
Scientist "Scientist Rids The World Of The Evil Curse of The Vampires"

I've seen them live. May I say a big fat w00t to that!


I've seen them live twice so ner :p

Hmm changes a hell of a lot but right now...
1. Dream Theater-Train Of Thought


Personally, I think Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence is better.
Top 3 albums of all time, eh? Difficult.
1. Wish You Were Here (Pink Floyd)
2. The Holy Bible (Manic Street Preachers)
3. Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables (Dead Kennedys)

Then right now, I'd say the following albums are great - Hitler Bad, Vandals Good (The Vandals); No Gods No Managers (Choking Victim); This Is Really Neat (Crackout); Ruin Johnny's Bar Mitzvah (Me First and the Gimme Gimmes); Drunken Lullabies (Flogging Molly); The Fake Sound of Progress (Lostprophets).

these are my favorites
Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory and Meteora
Breaking Benjamins - Saturate
U2 - Joshua Tree
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Greatest Hits
Third Eye Blind - Third Eye Blind
Fuel - Something Like Human
The Offspring - Americana and Smash

Personally, I think Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence is better.


I love all of them and think they're all great but Train of Thought was the first albulm I listened to, first Prog albulm I listened to in fact, so it's always been the one that stands out to me.

1. Fear Factory- Obsolete
2. Pink Floyd - The Wall
3. KMFDM- Symbols
