Top Ten Albums

[Posher778]

If anyone is capable of deciding, what are your top ten favorite albums of all time?



1. Muse- Black Holes and Revelations
2. The White Stripes- Icky Thump
3. The Shins- Wincing The Night Away
4. Red Hot Chili Peppers- By The Way
5. Coldplay- A Rush of Blood to the Head
6. Queens of the Stone Age- Era Vulgaris
7. Alice In Chains- Jar Of Flies
8. The Beatles- Abbey Road
9. Spin Doctors- Pocket Full Of Kryptonite
10. Arctic Monkeys- Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

I had a lot of trouble with this, because i'm not an *album* fan. I just prefer songs. I basically looked at the albums I listened to the most and thought about why, and this is what I came up with.

Still thinkin but I just wanted to say that some of your albums are awesome choices...Sabbath's Sold our souls, The fits Legacy of brutality, The Beatles Abbey road AND Rubber soul. Pick up ANY chili peppers and you wont be sorry. RHCP's Blood sex sugar magic will problly be on my list. Limp Bizkit Sucked but Significant Other was an awesome album.

It'll take forever for me to decide my top 10.

I can't say much because it would all be negative...


And I don't want to be negative about it, but what I will say is that the only albums that list I would ever put on personaly are Nevermind, Abbey Road and Jar of Flies.

3 albums on one top ten list that we both agree on is pretty good if you ask me.

[The Flayed One]

1. Appetite For Destruction - Guns'N'Roses
2. Facelift - Alice in Chains
3. Powerslave - Iron Maiden
4. Holy Wood - Marilyn Manson
5. Bark at the Moon - Ozzy Osbourne
6. Operation: Mindcrime - Queensryche
7. On Through the Night - Def Leppard
8. Van Halen - Van Halen
9. Decade of Decadence - Motley Crue
10. Night Songs - Cinderella


I define greatest albums as something I can listen to over and over again without having a single song that I'll skip through. With the exception of Holy Wood (I skip Valentines Day often) this is true for all of these albums. The only greatest hits album on the list is Motley Crue, because I mostly enjoy their hits, but not a lot of their B-sides.

I think pound for pound Appetite For Destruction is my favorite album ever made. It's good old ass kicking, whiskey drinking party time rock which has never been done so well before or since. That album was magical for me when it came out, and to this day it's one of the few albums that I can say I haven't grown sick of a single song from. That had a lot to do with deciding my list, taking off classics like Led Zepplin's ZOSO and AC/DCs Back in Black.

In no particular order:

X-Ray Spex - Germ Free Adolescents
The Misfits - Static Age

I could listen to those all day, just about any day. Which album is your favorite though? Unless that was in order.
