10. The Beach Boys-Pet Sounds.

You know, it's a peeve of mine. When I start listing the bands I listen to, everyone always adds The Beach Boys. I hate the Beach Boys! However, the album Pet Sounds is magnificent. It's one of those albums that would go over people's heads these days, about the young, ideaological, golden age Era youth realizing how bad things really are as the sixties go on. Today, people don't sit down and listen to Music like they should. They usually don't listen to music unless they are on the road.

9. The Clash-London Calling

I'm going to apologize for the lack of Punk rock on the list, but Punk really never made for good Album listening. The Exception is, of course, London Calling. It falls together as an album better then any other punk album I've downloaded, I mean listened to.

8. Meatloaf-Bat out of Hell

Meatloaf has something in common with Peter Framptom: Overall, not that good, but with one amazing album. Bat out of Hell scored number eight. Where do you suppose Framptom Comes Alive will score?

7. Supertramp- Breakfast in America

Supertramp has two albums on my list. This one has the better songs. Every song on it is a classic, from Gone Hollywood to Logical Song to Goodbye Stranger... It's as if the only Supertramp people know is on this CD.

6. Jethro Tull- Aqualung

This is pretty much the standard for Jethro Tull albums. What can I say, besides the fact that their is not a bad track on the thing?

5. Electric Light Orchestra- Time

ELO CDs have a tendency to piss me off. Tons of great songs, plus a few that really piss me off. This Album would probably be number Three or Four on the list, if not for "The Lights Go Down" which is a pitiful attempt at music on an otherwise brilliant Concept album.

4.The Beatles-Revolver

I thought about putting a tie between Revolver/Rubber Soul. Or just listing them as a double album. I consider the two a double album. So, why does this one get the list? Oh, obviously Elanor Rigby, one of the greatest songs ever written. Both Albums, however, show the transformation of the Beatles, from Pop Band to Artists.

3. Supertramp- Crime of the Century

Unlike Breakfast in America, this has a few tracks that aren't bad, but they do have to grow on you. Also unlike Breakfast in America, this one is an epic story of two people, friends who are very much unlike eachother. It's a sad story, really, and we wonder who is the more tragic, the one who had the life of success or the one with the life of poverty.

2. Peter Framptom-Framptom Comes Alive

I really considered making this the Number one spot. It was kind of hard not to. It's a fucking amazing album that should be part of everyone's collection. Probably has a high point with "Baby I Love Your Way" or "Do You Feel Like We Do".

1. Bruce Springsteen- Born to Run

Born to Run is obviously one of the best Rock songs ever written. So, why wouldn't the album that has it, along side Thunder Road, She's the One and Jungleland be number one?


This is my list. Comment, make your lists, ect.

Honorable mentions:

The Ramones-Rocket to Russia
System of a Down-Toxicity (not a system of a down fan, but this album is amazing)
The Beatles-Abbey Road
Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds
The Moody Blues-Days of Future Past
Styx-The Grand Illusion

Floyd-The Wall

Grateful dead bootleg of Cal Expo concert

The Dead do country. Brilliant cover of Merle Haggard's Mama tried and Dylan's knockin on Heavens door. Also of Chuck Berry's Promised Land

I know it isnt an album exactly but what can I say? Im a dead head from Bakerspatch I'm allowed

Not really a big Floyd fan... I've taken alot of crap for this list already, and would like to elaborate on it:

These are not my favorite bands in order. Many exceptional bands make good songs, and not good albums. Also, there are certain biases. System of a Down-Toxicity gets an honorable mention over other albums I know are better. Why? Because, well, to make up for the lack of albums made before 1990. If I went on to 20 or 25, it would probably be lower on my list.

Anyway, back to Pink Floyd: I like bands who have more range then they do. However, I would like to say that had I expanded this, you would see The Wall and Dark Side of the Moon.

I might include the Eagles Hotel California or On the border

AC/DC- Back in Black
Judas Priest-British Steel
Van Halen-Balance
KISS-Alive

.....

10. Beatles - The White Album
9. The Eagles - Hotel California
8. Lynyrd Skynyrd - Second Helping
7. Aerosmith - Toys in the Attic
6. CCR - Chronicle
5. Pink Floyd - The Wall Live
4. Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin IV
3. Metallica - Garage, Inc.
2. Peter Frampton - Frampton Comes Alive
1. Led Zeppelin - Houses of the Holy

The Beatles -- Abbey Road

The Eagles -- Hotel California

Pink Floyd -- The Wall

Pink Floyd -- Dark Side of the Moon

Meatloaf -- Bat Out of Hell

Beach Boys -- Pet Sounds

Elton John -- Madman Across the Water

Supertramp -- Breakfast in America

Styx -- Paradise Theater

Fleetwood Mac -- Rumours


I refuse to rank them.

You all have already covered most of mine. Here are a few that I always come back to over and over again in no certain order, and (Ditto Stuff on the Tull, Frampton and Supertramp previously mentioned):

Steve Miller - Book of Dreams

Little Feat - Waiting For Columbus

Original Movie Soundtrack: Hair

Led Zeppelin - Physical Grafitti

The Tubes - Backwards Completion Principal

Ozzy Ozborne - The Ozman Cometh

Peter Tosh - Live

Kenny Wayne Shephard - Trouble Is

The Who - Who's Next

Rainbow- rainbow rising
black sabbath- vol. 4
deep purple- purple in rock
pearl jam- yield
jethro tull- minstrel in the gallery
free- all right now
the doors- the greates hits (shush, i know its a complitation)
the cult- sonic temple
Temple of the dog
More of that same, with some tool and kyuss thrown in

In no particular order:

1.Queen-A Night at the Opera
2.Queen-A Day at the Races
3.The Beatles-Sgt. Pepper
4.Bon-Jovi-Slippery When Wet
5.Meatloaf-Bat Out of Hell
6.The Beatles-Abbey Road
7.Pink Floyd-The Wall
8.Meatloaf-Bat Out Of Hell II
9.Queen-Queen I
10.Queen-Queen II

Many of the albums people have listed i haven't listened to because i am not a huge fan of the bands, hence them not making the list. I am huge fan of Queen, as you can see, but i truly think their early albums are amazing.

These are not my favorite bands in order. Many exceptional bands make good songs, and not good albums. Also, there are certain biases. System of a Down-Toxicity gets an honorable mention over other albums I know are better. Why? Because, well, to make up for the lack of albums made before 1990. If I went on to 20 or 25, it would probably be lower on my list.
You should listen to SOAD's eponymous debut. It's fucking brilliant, IMO one of the best metal albums ever made. Toxicity verges on both ridiculousness (Bounce, Psycho) and nu-metal (Chop Suey) too much for it to be a classic album.

My top 10? Not got a clue. The Fall of Math (by 65daysofstatic) would be in there, as would Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables (Dead Kennedys). Aphex Twin would most likely be in there as well, though I'm not sure which album. Dresden Dolls' debut would possibly make it, although more likely would be an honourable mention. Truth is, my top 10 changes too much all the time for me to give an absolute list.

Edit: Yes, I know Aphex Twin isn't exactly rock, but...meh.

3. Metallica - Garage, Inc.

:eek: :eek: :eek: What?! That pile of......*deflates*...*sighs*

I'm not a massive fan of Metallica (hell, I went to see Killing Joke instead of Metallica at Download last weekend), but I'll admit they've done some great albums. Namely the Black Album, Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets. But Garage, Inc? It's shite!

Metallica sucks haha.

Some good albums, but why has no one said anything about Boston - Boston.

10. Pink Floyd - The Wall
9. The Who - Tommy
8. Bad Religion - Suffer
7. Nirvana - Nevermind
6. Black Sabbath - Paranoid
5. Symphony X - The Divine Wings of Tragedy
4. Queensryche - Operation Mindcrime
3. Sex Pistols - Nevermind the Bollocks (Here's the Sex Pistols)
2. Rush - Hemispheres
1. Rush - 2112

Some good albums, but why has no one said anything about Boston - Boston.

Actually haven't owned it since vinyl, but it made the top of my to buy list this last week. Good call.

Pink Floyd's The Wall is way up the top for mine.

Hmmm ...
Time's Up - Living Colour
Haunted - Poe
Angel Dust - Faith No More
Images And Words - Dream Theater
2 - Liquid Tension Experiment
OSI - OSI
*already mentioned Mindcrime :) *
Too Dark Park - Skinny Puppy (not really rock but oh well)

Really, i could go on for some time, but i'll cut m'self off here.

Hrrrrrm.

10. Sleep - Sleep's Holy Mountain

4. Black Sabbath - Paranoid
3. Dead Kennedys - Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables

I'd probably change my mind about them tomorrow, but that'll do.... and too many honourable mentions to list...

Oh, and 'cuz i'm a dumbarse ...

Hmmm ...
Angel Dust - Faith No More

What do you think of Peeping Tom?

What do you think of Peeping Tom?
I don't know ... a hint maybe? Is that Patton's new abomination? ;)
He did *some* good with Fantomas ... and Bjork.
But his dining music album was really a little too much, and his lessons for voice was somewhat difficult unless you really felt like it was worth the time.

Yeah Mike Pattons Old New Band.
Dining Music album was that released around 2000/01, cause i cracked up when i heard about that.

Although he's a genius, that album was the erratic accretia that comes from someone sacrificing art for ... well, i'm not really sure what. He's already a risk taker, obviously, but i really don't know how many people actually appreciate the real idea behind the album (i don't - i don't know wtf he was on or why bother with the $ and time).

So are they worth it? I don't want to say i want some of his older stuff, but at the same time, i do.

Sorry to script & run, but it's night-night time.
G'night. *bows*

Sorry to script & run, but it's night-night time.
G'night. *bows*
Yeah it is only 10:20 here but ain't much happening.
*Also sleeps*

1. Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band.
No other album has ever had the impact that this one has. EVER.
This is really the Beatles at the zenith of thier creativity, if not thier ability.

2. The Beach Boys: Pet Sounds.
Brian Wilson's opus...nuff said.

3. The Who: Live at Leeds.
The best live album ever. (Sorry Deadheads)

4. Black Sabbath: Volume IV.

Its debatable among Black Sabbath fans wich is thier best, but none of them deny that this is probably thier heaviest.
This is also a contender for best Metal album ever.
Black Sabbath were the "Beatles of Heavy Metal", before them, it didnt exist.
If anyone who considers themselves a fan of either rock, or metal doesnt own this album, take note: YOU ARE A POSER.

5. Pink Floyd: Dark Side of the Moon.
The Best Concept Album Ever Recorded.

6. Im going to give a Tie for this one to The Eagles, and Boston.
Although I dislike, both, they each have an album in the top five best selling records of all time list, so this deserves respect, even if I dont believe that "it sold a lot of records" equates to "It was a really good album".

7. Led Zeppelin 4.
Who the hell doesnt own this record?!
Yes, its been played to death, but you cant deny its brilliant.

8. The Rolling Stones: Beggars Banquet.
The Rolling Stones are probably the second best band ever, even if I didnt give them a top-five slot.
Heres an example of why theyre respected so much, by so many.

9. Metallica: Master of Puppets.

Okay...hold on...
Yes...they suck balls now, but once upon a time, Metallica rocked harder than anyone else.
A good friend of mine says that "...and Justice for All" is thier opus, but I consider it to be this one.
Either way, this is one of the best heavy metal albums ever written, and therefore, deserves to be given the respect its due.

10. Tie between :
Alice Cooper, Killer.
The first Shock-Rocker.....this album has some really, really cool songs on it.
I pity anyone who doesnt have it.

Aerosmith, Get your Wings.
Once again...today, these guys suck.
Once upon a time...they did not.
This is the album they established themselves as having something over the rest of the Stones-esque bands of the early 70's.
Seasons of Wither, anyone?

Although he's a genius, that album was the erratic accretia that comes from someone sacrificing art for ... well, i'm not really sure what. He's already a risk taker, obviously, but i really don't know how many people actually appreciate the real idea behind the album (i don't - i don't know wtf he was on or why bother with the $ and time).

So are they worth it? I don't want to say i want some of his older stuff, but at the same time, i do.


I say half of what Patton does is GENIUS.

The other half is crap.

This thread isnt "post YOUR PERSONAL FAVORITES".

Its post the ten albums you consider to be THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME/

NONE of the albums you mention even come remotely close.

1) Nirvana - Nevermind
No other album comes even close to the sheer magnificence of this album. (Not even other Nirvana albums.)

2) The Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness
Okay, this is sort of cheating because it's a double album and not all of the songs are good, but there is more than a single album's worth of excellent songs here.

3) Metallica - Metallica
The only other album they have where all of the songs are good is Ride the Lightning, but this one has more songs, so it's better by default.

4) Local H - As Good As Dead
A woefully underrated band. They're what's called alternative rock, but aren't afraid to get a little bit experimental, too, although I have to admit this is their least experimental of all of their albums.

5) Motörhead - Overkill
This one was their first big hit, and can be said to have kickstarted the speed metal movement.

6) Babes In Toyland - Fontanelle
This album is excellent, and has the added bonus of fulfilling my women who rock quota (shame on the rest of you. ;))

7) Jack Off Jill - Clear Hearts Grey Flowers
More women who rock. Sadly, this is only the second of the band's two albums, they are no more.

8) The Gits - Frenching the Bully
Perhaps the single best punk album. Mia Zapata R.I.P.

9) The Melvins - Houdini
The long suffering and little-recognized band was on a major label, and this was their major-label debut. Kurt Cobain plays on two tracks on this album.

10) Cathedral - Forest of Equilibrium
Manages to be both slow and heavy, an excellent doom record. Cathedral does doom better than Black Sabbath does.

Yeah, at one point i thought i could clearly say that the bigger half was the genius part, but he's into so many things and has done so much at this point that i can't say for sure.
Well, as they say ... i got what i needed from him and never really wanted to f*ck him, so all's well ....

_______________________
In no particular order:

Leave A Whisper - Shinedown

"Rh-" - Siddharta (the album's name is "R h negative", and it's absolutely amazing. If you like any sort of heavy metal at all, get it right now. Anyone from Slovenia knows how much they rock. I have one of the very few English versions, though, so you better start learning Slovene;) :p )

Metallica - Metallica (and S&M for that matter, though it's not original songs for the most part)

Dark Side of the Moon

Appetite for Destruction - Guns 'n' Roses

Led Zeppelin IV

Anything by Bruce Springsteen (I can't pick a favorite, unless it's his Live in NYC)

Mezmerize/Hypnotize - System of a Down (they're technically separate albums, but then they're not, they're really a double album, and both parts are fairly short, and they kick ass)

The Battle of Los Angeles - Rage Against the Machine (ok, you might not consider it rock, but if it's got guitar riffs, it's good enough for me :cool: )


Is that ten? Roughly.

Now, let me see:

Pink Floyd - The Wall, and The Dark Side of the Moon. Both ace albums, really show Floyd at their best.

Metallica - Metallica (The Black Album) and Master Of Puppets. Both show different qualities in Metallica, far more than are commonly attributed to them

Judas Priest - Screaming for Vengence. The opening combination of 'The Hellion' and 'Electric Eye' is one of the best I've ever heard

AC/DC - Back in Black, and also Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap

Megadeth - Rude Awakening, their live album from a few years ago. Listening to Mustaine sing 'Sweating Bullets' live still give me chills. Given that it was made after Mustaine got his injury and recovered, it just makes it all the better

Meatloaf - Bat out of Hell. I'm no Meatloaf fan, but I do recognise the quality of this album.

Guns N' Roses - The entire 'Use Your Illusion' album (yes, it was originally going to be a single album, so it counts) shows the variety that GNR can work with. Favourite track is 'Estranged' without a shadow of a doubt.

Yeah, Screaming For Vengeance rocks absolutely. "Take These Chains", especially, is like concentrated hair metal :p

1. Various Artists - Woodstock
2. The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Electric Ladyland
3. Led Zeppelin II
4. Crosby, Stills, & Nash - "Crosby, Stills, & Nash"
5. Jefferson Airplane - "Surrealistic Pillow"
6. The Doors - "The Doors"
7. Santana - "Abraxas
8. AC/DC - "Back in Black"
9. Iron Maiden - "Iron Maiden"
10. Slayer - "Reign in Blood"

But that's not in perfect order.

london calling is the real shit

How has nobody mentioned:
Jimmy Hendrix: Are you experianced

I'm surpriesed that the Beatles didnt make as many lists as I thought, they have the top ten albums on my list.

Kick Out The Jams should be on everyone's list...

I'm surpriesed that the Beatles didnt make as many lists as I thought, they have the top ten albums on my list.

True, thats why I don't cout beatles in any list because it would dominate it all and take away any variety from the list.

The only albums for me are Smiths albums (okay, that's not quite true). My personal favourite is Hatful of Hollow, but the one with the biggest musical impact is The Queen is Dead. It's an album that most ordinary citizens haven't heard of, but one that's influenced scores of modern musicians.

You put an ELO album on? that's cool, though not the one I'd have chosen.

Once again, biased for opinion here:

8. David Bowie - Outside
7. The Moody Blues - In Dearch of the Lost Chord
6. Sloan - Twice Removed
5. The Flaming Lips - At War with the Mystics

3. Electric Light Orchestra - Eldorado
2. Pink Floyd - Ummagumma
1. R.E.M. - Automatic for the People

3. Electric Light Orchestra - Eldorado


Too right it's cool. "Can't Get It Out Of My Head" is just about my favourite pop song of all time.

Errinundera']Too right it's cool. "Can't Get It Out Of My Head" is just about my favourite pop song of all time.

I love it too, especially since, now that I'm older, I can appreciate the lyrics. The whole album is probably my favourite complete piece by any band. Rock and classical music were meant to be together.

Seriously... Off the Deep End is good, but Poodle Hat and Running With Scissors are both better albums. So is Bad Hair Day. You can't really beat "We've been spendin' most our lives, living in an Amish paradise/No cops or traffic lights, livin' in an Amish paradise"
