Your Top Five Albums

[DiscipleOfTheLie]

1. Horror Show - Iced Earth
2. Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge - My Chemical Romance
3. Resurrection Through Carnage - Bloodbath
4. Ghost Reveries - Opeth
5. We Are Not Alone - Breaking Benjamin

 

[Strewth]

'Miss Machine' - The Dillinger Escape Plan
Sheer brutality executed with perfect technical precision. Only lets up to croon leeringly at you like a sinister uncle.
If you listen to one track: 'Sunshine the Werewolf'

'Power in Numbers' - Jurassic 5
Soulful hip-hop over summery jazz grooves. Put on a song like 'Freedom' and I challenge you to not nod your head.
If you listen to one track: 'What's Golden'

'Panic' - Caravan Palace
Infectious electro-tinged gypsy-swing. Great to dance around an empty house to!
If you listen to one track: 'Rock it to Me'

''A Healthy Distrust' - Sage Francis
Intelligent, poetic rap with masterful metaphor and incredible driving beats. I recommend this album to people who usually don't like hip-hop, because it really is damn good.
If you listen to one track: 'Escape Artist'

'Used Songs' - Tom Waits
Technically a compilation, but his catalogue is so diverse I couldn't recommend just one album. Master of the bar-room ballad. Soulful, broken and intensely cool.
If you listen to one track: 'Heartattack and Vine'

Sorry I haven't actually posted vids or anything for the suggested tracks, I'm on my phone and very lazy. I love reading these from other people! It always interests me to see that people can have albums that I really like alongside albums that I really don't like in their personal favourites. Shows just how subjective music really is!

 

[Burning Love]

no particular order (except L7 is always #1)
L7- Bricks Are Heavy

I love you for reminding me that L7 exists and I need to download Bricks Are Heavy right fucking now.

1) Time Waits For No Slave - Napalm Death
2) The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here - Alice in Chains (I'm surprised at the hate this record gets, the vocal melodies/harmonies are divine)
3) Crack the Skye - Mastodon
4) Liquid Swords - GZA/Genius
5) Plastic Surgery Disasters - Dead Kennedys

But if I added another five you can be sure it would have included Wu-Tang and probably two other Napalm Death records.

 

[The Green Ranger]

Tiamat - Prey
Woods of Ypres - Woods 5: Grey Skies & Electric Light
Amon Amarth - Once Sent From the Golden Hall
Poets of the Fall - Twilight Theater

Miles - Kind of Blue

Greatest album ever recorded, and all of you can go suck it.

[Ruckersvillian]

It's pretty hard to narrow the list to five, but in no particular order:
1. White Album, The Beatles
2. Abbey Road, The Beatles
3. Absolutely Free, Mothers of Invention
4. The Commercials, Tee Vee Toons (a compilation of commercial jingles from the '50s-'70s)
5. Magical Mystery Tour, The Beatles

Honorable Mentions:
6. Flood, They Might Be Giants
7. Saturday Night Fever soundtrack album
8. Axis (Bold As Love), Jimi Hendrix Experience
9. Are You Experienced?, Jimi Hendrix Experience
10. Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan soundtrack album

Obviously, my musical tastes are fairly eclectic. I like everything from The Beatles to Frank Zappa to They Might Be Giants. I'll listen to just about anything....except rap, hip hop, and today's top 40, over-autotuned, over-corporatized, pap.

 

[Drakodan]

1. Ultra Beatdown: DragonForce
2. Inhuman Rampage: DragonForce
3. The Power Within: DragonForce
4. In This Life: Jet Black Stare
5. Queen: Greatest Hits: Queen
...
Yeah, I really like DragonForce.

I can get behind DragonForce, but what I can't quite get behind is saying that UB/IR are better than The Power Within or Sonic Firestorm.

Me myself, it's really hard to narrow it down to just 5 albums. MAYBE something like:

Dream Theater - Scenes From a Memory
Cynic - Focus/Traced In Air (Can't pick a single album)
Celtic Frost - Monotheist
Morbid Angel - Blessed Are The Sick
Symphony X - The Odyssey/V: The New Mythology Suite (Still can't pick)

But then that's missing a lot of albums I really, REALLY like, such as Between the Buried and Me's Colors, and Transatlantic's Bridge Across Forever. 5 is just too few for someone like me.

 

[CWCissey]

1.The Stone Roses-The Stone Roses

The rest of these are not in any order as I can't decide plus they may not really be in my Top 5.
The Messenger-Johnny Marr
The It Girl-Sleeper
Pills 'N' Thrills And Bellyaches-Happy Mondays
Do It Yourself-The Seahorses
