What are, in your opinion, the 5 best albums ever recorded...
For me it would be (in no particular order)...
The Smiths - The queen is dead
Al Stewart - Past present and future
Kate Bush - The kick inside
Tom Waits - Rain dogs
Pete Atkin - Driving through mythical america

edit - Just decided to change my list

[ 11-06-2004, 04:01 PM: Message edited by: Dirty Meg ]

It can change anytime for me but this is it at the moment also in no particular order:

Children of Bodom - Hatebreeder
Children of Bodom - Something Wild
After Forever - Prison of Desire
Epica - The Phantom Agony
Nox Aeterna - Unleashed

My five favourite albums are:

Evergrey: The Inner Circle
Ayreon: The Human Equation
Nightwish: Once
Ark: Burn the Sun
Threshold: Hypothetical

Oleg Gasmanov- Izbrannoe
Tatu- 200 Po Vstrechiy
Metallica- Master Of Puppets
Metallica- Metallica (black)
Metallica- ...And Justice For All

the previous albums kick butt :D !

None of those are in my top 5 dirty meg but they are great albums, though I have not heard Al Stewart - Past present and future.

just my opinion that any list of greatist albums should have any album newer than 5 years old banned, Albums should have to stand the test of time and fashion before being named a classic IMO.

Barcley James Harvest....live tapes
Joni mitchell .... Blue
Beatles.... White
Guns and roses ... appatite for destruction
Genisis .... seconds out

*note these are all true vynal albums not cd's or greatist hits collections and is subject to change at any moment as the mood strikes* :D

Only 5 ? Sheesh thats hard.

Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dreams
Bob Dylan - Highway 61 revisited
Radiohead - Bends
Tom Waits - Small Changes
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - The Boatman's Call

I could mention so many others but these are the once I'm listening to mostly these days... [img]smile.gif[/img]

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Californication
Red Hot Chili Peppers - By the Way
Rammstein - Reise, Reise
Rammstein - Mutter
Muse - Origins of Symmetry

[img]graemlins/wootrock.gif[/img] Yes! I love life! :D

Lemon Jelly - Lost Horizons
Cat Stevens - Greatest Hits
Beautiful South - Greatest Hits
Less Than Jake - Borders And Boundaries

Top 5 albums?

1-Eminem:The Marshal Mather's LP
2-U2:The Joshua Tree
3-DMX:The Great Depression
4-Jay-Z:The Blueprint
5-Creed:Weathered

Right on.

1)Master of Puppets Metallica
2)Ride the Lightning Metallica
3)Metallica Metallica
4)Load Metallica
5)Kill 'em All Metallica

Oh, wait...the best albums of all time, eh...not the ones I think are the best, but the ones that most people think are the best???

Well, my list is probably wrong then....

I'm curious about what Dron/Drew'll post when he sees this thread... :D

Weezer- The blue album.
Weezer- Tired of sex.
Glasseater- Everythings better when you dont look down.
Outsmarting simon- All of them. [img]smile.gif[/img]
An Albatross- We are lazor vikings.

Ohhh and many more but I could only pick Five..

Pink Floyd- The Final Cut
Pink Floyd- Wish You Were Here
Red Hot Chili Peppers- Blood Sugar Sex
Led Zeppellin- All those Volume thingies
I don't got a fifth

OMG, someone else who listens to Nick Cave!! I only know one other person that does, and that is Wolfgir, who introduced me to the music. [img]smile.gif[/img] I do not think I have that CD though. Is The Boatman's Call the name of the actual CD, or a particular song Jorath? I love Nocturama and No More Shall We Part. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Radiohead's The Bends is also an excellent CD, and if I ever feel inspired to write poetry, I dunno why, but having that CD playing in the background really helps me, puts me in the right frame of mind maybe. Either way, a very special CD for me as well.

I hate Smashing Pumpkins though LOL. :D [img]tongue.gif[/img] Whiney ass voice that guy has, irritates the hockey sticks out of me.

Hmmm... in no particular order...

Rush: Moving Pictures
KISS: Alive!
Blackthorne: Tonight's the Night for Drinking
Eve Selis: Eve Selis
Billy Joel: Storm Front

Moving Pictures is the first album I played drums to (and I've still got the vinyl, Wellard!). Blackthorne and Eve Selis are local bands (Detroit and San Diego, last I knew).

another couple of decent albums by musical comedians.

Dirt by Tom Green and the Arrogant Worms and
Superhero by Stephen Lynch

ummm...Dirt was purely the Arrogant Worms...no Tom Green...just the Worms...whom I happen to love!

Himsa-courting tradegy and disaster
Sublime-40 oz to freedom
Sublime-Bradley and friends
martyr ad-on earth as in hell
Project Pat-layin the smack down

OMG, someone else who listens to Nick Cave!! I only know one other person that does, and that is Wolfgir, who introduced me to the music. [img]smile.gif[/img] I do not think I have that CD though. Is The Boatman's Call the name of the actual CD, or a particular song Jorath? I love Nocturama and No More Shall We Part. [img]smile.gif[/img] </font>[/QUOTE]Well you can add me to that list, I have Nocturama, Kicking Against the Pricks, and The Best of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. Definatly a good listen.

Boatman's Call came out in 1997, it's absolutly wonderful, especially two songs Into my arms ans And Are you the one I've been waiting for.
I also have the Best of cd and the new double album which is great.

And yes, Billy Corgan is whiney... but when the music is that good, I don't really care... [img]smile.gif[/img]

Pink Floyd - The Wall
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon
Led Zeppellin - Led Zeppellin IV
Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells

Listening to Nick Cave isn't that unique, though - he's actually rather well known just below the billboard radar. [img]smile.gif[/img] I listen to his music quite frequently, and so does for example Melusine IIRC. [img]smile.gif[/img]

As for my top 5 favourite albums, I suppose that's a thing that's a thing that's constantly changing. You can find a top 100 I did 6 months ago here, but it's not very up to date anymore. I suppose the top 5 is basically still the same, though. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I notice you kicked David Bowie from your top 5 Dirty Meg, why? :(

This isn't really a top 5, I dont think I can rate music like that.. But these are some albums that come to mind:

The Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness
Radiohead - OK Computer
The Smashing Pumpkins - Machina, the Machines of God
Blur - Blur
Pink Floyd - The Wall

Yes, that is two Smashing Pumpkins albums.. but I just happen to be the biggest SP fan in the world ;)

and ladyzekke.. alot of people feel that way about Billy Corgans voice, but it really doesnt bother me. And he writes superb songs!

Strange you'd name Machina as one of your favourite albums, though - as far as SP-records go, Siamese Dream is a lot better than that one. As a (former?) SP-fan, I thought Machina would have been a lot better if Corgan just scrapped about half of the songs (I really could have done without Heavy Metal Machine and Glass and the Ghost Children, to name a few). But you're entitled to your opinion, of course.

Good thing you didn't mention that dreadful Zwan album, though. ;)

...Eh? Right on for all being Metallica, but that list is... incorrect. Quite simply. Surely you agree with me that this is the right list:

1)Master of Puppets Metallica
2)...And Justice For All Metallica
3)Ride The Lightning Metallica
4)ReLoad Metallica
5)St. Anger Metallica

...Right? [img]tongue.gif[/img] (Yes, I like St. Anger better than TBA ;) )

It sure smells like crap in this thread! :D

How about,

Van Halen - OU812
Def Leppard - Pyromania
Def Leppard - Hysteria
Peter Gabriel - So
Van Halen - 1984

Does NO ONE else like Rap/hip hop here! :D

Well... no [img]smile.gif[/img]

Beasty Boys is decent I guess.

I wanted to put 'Driving through mythical America' on the list, and I removed Bowie because he was the least obscure. I shouldn't have limited myself to five.

you can still add Bowie.
It's Bowie afterall.

did you not read my list?

Ah...

Missed that. :D

Ah...

Missed that. :D </font>[/QUOTE]The last one :D its a good cd too

God bless you, Sir Exxon!! [img]smile.gif[/img] (Wipes a tear from his eye)
Anyways, sadly, I cannot partake. I refuse to rate Metallica over Metallica. To give an idea, though, my five favorite albums, fluctuate often, but right now, they are:
Master of Puppets, Ride the Lightning, Reload, Metallica, Garage Inc. In no particular order. ;)
