[Mister Sinister]

I guess it would be nice if forum members will post here their 10 favourite albums

So here's my favourite albums:

[Kathy]

I can't do that. Too many albums I like. If it was for one genre then perhaps but I just can't do that for entire music spectre.

Okay, I unearthed my 10 years old list of music that I would take in a hurry in case of the total annihilation of my house. The list was originally written in fidonet.

The Cure "Disintegration"
Emperor "Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk"
Burzum "Hvis Lyset Tar Oss"
My Dying Bride "Turn Loose The Swans"
My Dying Bride "34,788... Complete"
Dolorian "Dolorian"
Ulver "Nattens Madrigal"
Tool "AEnima"
Tool "Lateralus"
Decoryah "Wisdom Floats"

It's not that top10 is everchanging, it's just there is no top10. Those albums from 10 years ago are still remain in my top something, but lots of other albums can be added. The good thing for me is that I looked at my "old" top10 and I didn't want to take out something cause those albums stood the test of time for me. Although, I can't say that something really changed about me so it's only logical that my tastes also didn't change drastically.

[Mike Norvak]

JEAN MICHEL JARRE - CHRONOLOGIE

SASHA - XPANDER EP

KOAN - WHEN THE SILENCE IS SPEAKING

ASURA - 360

VIBRASPHERE - ARCHIPELAGO


YOUNGER BROTHER - THE LAST DAYS OF GRAVITY

JUNO REACTOR - LABYRINTH


JOE SATRIANI - FLYING IN A BLUE DREAM

YANNI - LIVE AT THE ACROPOLIS

[Jimmy]

This is tough. I'll use my top 10 albums from Last.FM since Nov. 2009:

01: Dead Kennedys – Bedtime For Democracy (601 plays)
02: Country Dick Montana – The Devil Lied to Me (552 plays)
03: Descendents – Milo Goes to College (423 plays)
04: Dead Kennedys – Plastic Surgery Disasters (350 plays)
05: Jello Biafra & Mojo Nixon With The Toadliquors – Prairie Home Invasion (319 plays)
06: Bad Religion – No Control (302 plays)
07: Descendents – Cool To Be You (258 plays)
08: Mojo Nixon – Whereabouts Unknown (255 plays)
09: Dead Kennedys – Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables (236 plays)
10: Cyndi Lauper – She's So Unusual (229 plays)

I would say this is rather close, but I have many other albums which could contend for favorites that I just have to be in the mood for or I've only discovered recently. (I have around 500 records.) I'll list a few of those:
01: Pink Floyd – The Wall
02: Pink Floyd – The Final Cut
03: Stone Temple Pilots – Purple
04: Bad Religion – Into The Unknown
05: AVAIL – Satiate
06: Alice in Chains – Sap
07: Cancerslug – Battle Hymns: Volume One
08: The Misfits – Static Age
09: Elliott Smith – Either/Or
10: Iron Maiden – Somewhere in Time
11: Rollins Band – Weight
12: The Cure – Disintegration
13: The Offspring – Americana
14: Streetlight Manifesto – Everything Goes Numb
15: Catch 22 – Keasbey Nights

Ultimately this is an extremely tough thing to come up with since my tastes are so varied. In fact, I'm probably forgetting all kinds of shit.

[Mister Sinister]

To be honest,i could include to my list at my list whole NIN discographie and maybe 3-4 albums as my favourite,but those 10 albums are just perfect,imo

[Mark]

As others have said, its a difficult choice to make. But off the top of my head here is what I came up with. The list is somewhat biased because a few of these I have listened to recently and are on my mind.

Symphony X --- The Oddessy

Dream Theatre --- Train of Thought

Steve Vai --- Passion and Warfare

Joe Satriani --- Flying in a Blue Dream

Yngwie Malmsteen --- Marching Out

Dio --- Magica

Black Sabbath --- Heaven and Hell

Deep Purple --- Made in Japan

Judas Priest --- Unleashed in the East

Emerson,Lake and Palmer --- Pictures at an Exhibition

Bruce Dickinson --- Accident of Birth

I know thats 11 but no one saw me sneak 2 discs in 1 sleeve when I was packing for my trip to a desert island with my 10 favorite albums.

It's still 10. Made In Japan is a live/best compilation. Not really an "album" per se.

[chicken]

This is selection of records that somehow made a lasting impression on me. There are some that i haven't listened to in years but they still changed the way i listen to music.

R.E.M. - Document
Voivod - Killing Technology
Nomeansno - 0+2=1
Unsane - Scattered, smothered and covered
Slime - Live (1984)
Tragically Hip - Day for Night
Young Gods - TV Sky
Frontline Assembly - Tactical Neural Implant
Black Flag - First Four Years
Dead Kennedys - Plastic Surgery Disasters

[Jimmy]

Black Flag and the Dead Kennedys rule.

[DN4ever]

1. Iron Maiden - Piece of Mind
2. Meshuggah - Nothing
3. Arckanum - Antikosmos
4. Pulse Ultra - Headspace
5. Eppu Normaali - Repullinen Hittejä
6. Rammstein - Mutter
7. Lamb of God - Burn the Priest
8. Centhron - Dominator
9. Alien Ant Farm - Anthology
10. Rom Di Prisco - Cryptidalia

Of course there's a truckload of other great albums I love, but those I could think of now.
I decided the order by thinking which album has the most good songs of the total amount of the songs on the album, and also filtered them to only 1 album per artist.

[Jimmy]

Poasting too much in here, but to keep the discussion going, I think Alien Ant Farm's ANThology is really underrated.

[CruX]

Live - Throwing Copper (I grew up with this album. It's always going to have a special place..)
Ween - The Mollusk
Ween - Quebec
MSI - You'll Rebel to Anything
GWAR - Ragnarok
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
Pink Floyd - The Wall
Story of the Year - In the Wake of Determination (I don't give a shit how mainstream they briefly were. They're a good band)
Moistboyz - III (Anything involving either of the guys from Ween is instantly epic in my book)
Unsane - Total Destruction (and pretty much any other album they've put out after their debut)

[Zaxtor]

I have more than 10 but I will display 10.
My 10 fav alb are

Prince - Purplerain (1984)
Led Zeppelin - Led zeppelin IV (1971)
Roxy Music - Country life (1974)
Pink Floyd - Animal (1977)
The Who - Who's next (1971)
Led Zeppelin - In Through the Out Door (1979)
Rolling Stones - Let it bleed (1969)
Rolling Stones - Beggars Banquet (1968)
Rolling Stones - Their Satanic Majesties Request (1967)
The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967)

Indeed. Their music has so much variety and it's really fun to listen.

Unsane - Total Destruction

High five,dude,Unsane is awesome band!

[CruX]

I actually just realized that chicken mentioned Unsane as well. Makes me wonder if he's ever seen the gigs they occasionally do in Austria...

[chicken]

Austria is a bit too far south for me.
But I've seen them once in Hamburg in 1997 (?) when "Occupational Hazard" came out.
I had to go alone because none of my friends wanted to come.
But it was still worth it, they shredded.
(And the support band was also pretty good - Les Hommes Qui Wear Espandrillos.
The bandname - ouch. The music - cool)

Later there was a concert of Unsane and Neurosis near where i lived back then.
But i was too lazy to go. I could still bite my own ass if i could twist my head that far backwards.
I also got a couple of Neurosis records. "Enemy of the sun" is a monster.

One of the greatest records!

I love this record and the film.

Yeah. I think they also did well with staying true to their sound during the short time they were popular.

[Mikko]

Not enough good albums to fill a top 10 but here's six:

That is it for complete albums, there are a lot of other bands i like but if i had to carry ten cds with me those would be these.

Why i can´t post images as everybody else?

[Person of Color]

Pretty much any album by Michael Bolton or Soulja Boy. I love them all.

Bolton's cover of YAA! TRICK! YAA! is positively mind opening.

[Engel220]

In no particular order:



]








I have many more, but those were probably the most listened to.

[Sangman]

I agree with Demanufacture and Master Of Reality. Didn't think that much of the "recent" Heaven & Hell album though.

[LeoD]

List making time ... I've tried bzip2, RAR, and 7-Zip but I couldn't compress mine to less than eleven entries. (Not taken into account: tons of Best Of albums.)
