Your ten best albums of all time

[bobyclumsyninja]

This is a tough one. It's so tough I'm making my font purple, to really channel the appointed-by-god Royal choice grade A albums.

Gentlemen, and occasional lady...your best ten albums of all time. If you're having too much trouble, do a genre. No use in starting ten thousand threads by style. Besides, that should give this thread some legs.

Do your favorite albums, and then come back and post the top ten from your favorite genre.

WIN....fuckin tiger's blood and Adonis kilobytes.

I'll start (obviously):

In no particular order (yet):

• Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd
• Rumours - Fleetwood Mac
• The Final Cut - Pink Floyd
• Led Zeppelin 3 - Led Zeppelin
• The Wall - Pink Floyd
• Operation Mindcrime - Queensryche
  
• Frampton Comes Alive - Peter Frampton
• Timepieces - Eric Clapton
• Live in Cook County Jail - BB King
• Live at Sing Sing - BB King

There are so many I had to leave out, but tonight, that's my list. Let's see yours. Let the games begin.

[battlefields]

Korn- Korn
Fear Factory- Demanufacture
Cypress Hill- Black Sunday
AC/DC- The Razor's Edge
Eminem- The Slim Shady LP
Hatebreed- Hatebreed
Pantera- Vulgar Display of Power
Sepultura- Roots
Krayzie Bone- Thug Mentality 1999
IAM- L'Ecole Du Micro D'Argent

****'s off the top of my head, I'm sure there are many many many close rivals. My criteria is albums that somehow shaped or changed my life.

Damn, this is gonna be hard to nail down.

It may appear I have a very "bro" taste in music, but I can assure you that I am a muso, formerly a singer and have a massive and diverse taste in music. It's just that my favourites are hard hitting sounds. I like it heavy, either in content or delivery.

No shame in that. People gravitate to what fills their need, at some moment.

I've been hanging at the fire pit, a good bit of late, and American country, and Irish Rebel songs and Irish folk are mostly what we've been listening to. That's the power of music...there's something for every setting. keep going. We haven't grazed the surface.

[Hanniballistic]

No order per se, but my 10 is...

Holy Diver - Dio
Angel Dust - Faith No More
Original Gangster - Ice T
It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold us Back - Public Enemy
Seventh Son of a Seventh Son - Iron Maiden
Headless Children - WASP
Crimson Idol - WASP
War of the Worlds - Jeff Wayne
By Any Means Necessary - Boogie Down Productions
Efil4Zaggin - NWA

That was bloody hard going! There were so many others I could put up...Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Nirvana......

[Hexe]

Only 10 :-(

If marooned it would be;

Dark side of the Moon - Pink Floyd
Harvest - Neil Young

Seventh Son of a Seventh Son
Master of Puppets

Hysteria
Led Zeppelin IV

Honorable Mention:

[Devil]

**** me. This is impossible and I'd probably make a different list every day of the week. Plus I can't help but be influenced by the previously mentioned albums when I see them and think, "Oooh yeah. That's a good one." I'll play anyway.

Appetite for Destruction
Back in Black
The Dark Side of the Moon
Evil Empire
Are You Experienced
Master of Puppets
Paranoid
Doggystyle
Texas Flood
Straight Outta Compton
Licensed to Ill
Pronounced Leh-nerd Skin-nerd

That's ten, right?

[W. Rabbit]

No particular order. To be in my top ten, every track has to be a gem and the whole thing a unique experience from start to finish...no skipping around like the ipod generation loves to do.

- Master of Reality, Sabbath
- Appetite for Destruction, GnR
- Dark Side of the Moon, PF
- The Wall, PF
- Dirt, Alice in Chains
- Badmotorfinger, Soundgarden
- And Justice For All, Metallica
- It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back, Public Enemy
- The Doors, The Doors
- 10th slot reserved for any of the first four Led Zeppelin albums, depending on my mood
- 11th slot added for any Motorhead album ever made, because Lemmy is God and cannot possibly be contained within any top ten list.

To accommodate Lemmy's awesome presence, it must go to 11.
