Favorite Album

Everyones always makin a favorite band thread... what about your favorite album? feel free to pick more than one if you have to.

for me its tough...

dark side of the moon
Led Zepplin 4 is also awesome...
i wanna throw an incubus album in here... but i dont know which one id pick
The Strokes- Room on Fire
Metallica- Black
Weezer blue album... very cool

of course i know theres probably a killer album im not thinkin of at the moment...

Metallica - Black, Master Of Puppets
Pink Floyd - DSOTM
Sevendust - Animosity
Offspring - Smash

That's aboot it.

I have been a fan of the Offspring since just a little after Ixney came out, which is when I got Smash (around 96) and I can put it on now, sit back and just remember, ya know? It's the first album that I really got, meaning I understood it, I was only like 10 years old, I understood what it meant for me, it was the glass breaker for me from childhood into puberty, from Rock and Roll to Hardrock, and still to this day is prob my fav album of all time.

And for another monster of a list from me...

Metallica-Any thing before and including the Black Album
Slayer-Seasons in the Abyss, Reign in Blood
Exodus-Shovel Headed Kill Machine
Iron Maiden-Number of the Beast, Piece of Mind
Lamb of God-All three
Pantera-All
Children of Bodom-Hatecrew Deathroll, Something Wild
In Flames-Jester Race, Whoracle
Black Label Society-Mafia
Chimaira-Chimaira
Nevermore-This Godless Endeavor
Arch Enemy-Doomsday Machine, Wages of Sin
Soilwork-Figure Number Five
Megadeth-Greatest Hits
Demiricous-One (Hellbound) <---I'm telling you...buy this one
Burst-Origo
Kataklysm-In the Arms of Devestation <---Buy this one too! It comes out Tuesday!

I gotta say its a its a toss between:

Dark Side of the Moon: Pink Floyd
Frances the Mute: The Mars Volta
and
Lateralus: Tool

aside from just being a tool freak, i really believe that the album as a whole really delivers a single and direct thought process of mind, self-being, and process of thought. Also, its just kick ass to listen to all the way through; not one of those albums that have a bunch of good songs that you'd pick to listen to at random. its like a novel with chapters; you gotta listen through from beginning to end.

Other albums that I love that are just plain kickass are probably

Audioslave: Audioslave
Legend: Bob Marley
2001: Dr. Dre
Incubus: Make Yourself
On and On: Jack Johnson
Black: Metallica
The Battle of Los Angeles: Rage Against the Machine
Blood, Sugar, Sex, Magik: Red Hot Chilli Peppers
Disintigration: The Cure
and lastly, ofcourse
Stand by your Van: Sublime

This is not my favorite but I'm sure a ton of people have it.

AC/DC - Back in Black

Also...

Pink Floyed - Dark Side of the Moon/The Wall
Beatles - Abby Road, 1
Led Zeppelin - I, II, III, IV, In Through The Out Door, and Remasters
AC/DC - Live
Van Halen

That's all I can name right now.

Pink Floyd - Animals

ac/dc - powerage & if you want blood, bon scott was the greatest...being live is what made if you want blood great

Yeah I have that live album, it's bloody amazing.

Tool: Lateralus
Tool: Undertow
Audioslave: Audioslave
Audioslave: Out of Exile
Velvet Revolver
Hed PE: Amerika
Static X: Machine
Perfect Circle: Mer de Noms
Pink Floyd: Dark Side of the moon
Neil Diamond: The Essentials.

Thats right. Gotta have the Neil

Metallica- and justice for all
Mudvayne -ld50
Dj scribble and anthony acid -MDMA2
Lil Jon-Crunk Juice

Theres tons more it just varies from mood to mood

'cause i dont feel like typin a list the main one is

The Colour and the Shape - Foo Fighters

It has a song for any mood i'm in and i have listened to it over and over and over and over and over and i cannot expressed the overness i have listened to it.

why is everyones favorite Pink Floyd album Dark Side??? I only know maybe 1 or 2 people that dont think that was their best album...I dont think Animals was the best album either, I actually think Wish You Were Here was their best album, but Dark Side was always like 3rd or 4th or 5th to me....I dont know why Dark Side is so huge.

If I had to put up a #2, I think it would have to be Metallica and Master of Puppets.

Led Zeppelin - II
Ramones - Mondo Bizarro
Deep Purple - Made in Japan
Foo Fighters - The Colour and the Shape
Disturbed - Ten thousand fists
Chrashdiet - Rest In Sleeze
Blind Melon - Blind Melon
Bruce Springsteen - Born to Run ffs!
Metallica - Black Album (Metallica)
Dr. Hook - Completely Hooked

oh and i cant se a single album in this thread i dont love

B/c everyone knows post Black can't even compare.

B/c everyone knows post Black can't even compare.

And nobody can choose between the first four.

^not to mention they suck :p

For whoever complained about everyone liking Dark Side of the Moon. The Wall is my favorite Pink Floyd album. I dont know how people think any of them could beat it.

^ well the wall is good no doubt, but i think the difference is that on dark side of the moon every song is awesome, the wall has some that are only so so. wish you were here is right up there to if u ask me

idk man, i think all of the wall songs are awesome. they all flow well. i do believe its thismainstream that pink floyd as fallen into, the numerous amounts of Dark Side of the Moon products and everything it's being put into.

Beastie boys-solid gold hits.

No...that's the ones after Black that sucked. The four before I dare you to find any band capable of making four consecutive records that solid.

Red Hot Chilli Peppers: Blood Sugar Sex Magik

i agree its too tough to pick between the first four. and about the wall, sometimes i cant listen to some of the songs off there, like when the tigers broke free and stuff like that its too down in the dumps. i still say wish you were here was #1, then animals #2, then division bell #3, and then its all pretty much a tie. but thats just my personal preference. they had such a groove going on animals, that album is a masterpiece. and wish you were here i can always go back to any of those songs, it had such an awesome feel to the record.

Let me see..

Insane Clown Posse - Psychopathics from outerspace 2
Twiztid - The Green Book
Esham - Repentence
Psychopathic Rydas - Check Your Shit in Bitch!

Thats it.. yeah.. its all psychopathic record artists/affiliated.

tupac: me against the world

nas: stillmatic

james brown: greatest hits

jodeci: cant remember the name of the album

you are right, they do flow well. and dark side of the moon has kind of become pretty popular. they have all kinds of dark side of the moon stuff at the mall even. but ive liked it since i was about 5... so yeah.... i have two copies on vinyl, love listening to those late at night. whats funny is as i was saying i dont think the wall was the best, i was listening to the wall.

on the metallica issue... ive always liked metallica but ive never gotten around to getting a lot of their music :banghead: . i need to go buy something now, i just got payed

^not to mention they suck :p

True

on metallica, i have heard their 'good stuff' and i'll listen to it as oppose to their older stuff. i still see nothing especially great about that. i know i'm the only person in the world that doesnt, but meh.

And Justice for all is about the only Metallica album I can tolerate anymore. The rest just drives me up the wall. They just got wierd. Same deal with Ozzy. I used to think he was the greatest thing in the world. Then I saw his show and now I change the radio if I hear one of his songs. It sucks but I just can't get past his stupid family (minus Sharon)

I like your picks best. Still not perfect, but much closer to my idea of a favorite.

1. Jay-Z/ Blueprint
1.Jay-Z/ In my Lifetime Vol.1
2. NAS/ Stillmatic
3. B.I.G./ Life After Death
4. Outkast/ Aquemini

Not in that order per say. Vol. 1 was probably Jay's least acclaimed record, but there were some true masterpieces on it. Aquemini is definitely my all time favorite album. My wife and I listened to it for like 1 year straight. She's aquarius, I'm gemini, but that had nothing to do with it. Just a coincidence.

It doesn't matter what album of Pink Floyd, or Metallica's you think is better than their other albums, what every floats your boat!

One of my fav albums used to be Eminem's Marshal Mathers EP from 98/99, I haven't listened to it for nearly 4-5 years but I bet I can still like the shit today.

^ +1, MM's LP was, imo, his best album, too. I love "Drug Ballad" on there.

I was an amityville/stan man my self before the album hit big. Only song I didn't like was kim.

for me, Kim and Stan were the songs i didn't like. anyway,
have you heard the Danny Lohner remix of "The Way I Am"? it's not bad, i dunno about the albums released internationally, but it wasn't on the american album, only on imports.

I think that my favorite album would be Machine Head's Burn My Eyes. If I had to go to a desert island and could take only one disc, that would be the one I would take.

I listen to it when I'm happy and when I'm sad. It always puts me where I want to be. There's many other albums that I love also, but that one has a real impact on my life.

ZZ Tops Greatest Hits: Not a bad song on the disc.
Montgomery-Gentry, Tatoos and Scars: Good drive fast music.
Guns N Roses Live: Hard to beat that loud hair band shit.

I love GNR. I bought both live Use Your Illusion dvd's a couple years back, and I found them hard to watch. Axl would be yelling and swearing at the japanese crowd and they would be kind of like, "wow". It was weird. Music was good though.

Would have been way better if they filmed it in the States I guess. If you listen to Judas Priest's Unleashed in the East it sounds like a pretty crazy crowd though, so I dunno. Live stuff is kind of hit and miss.

I don't usually listen to live stuff. The songs are always a bit off. The only reason I have this one is because its my wifes.

live albums obviously don't have the mastered sound of the normal album, but in many cases, i think live albums (if it sounds like its' been recorded well) kind of makes you feel what the artist is feeling during their song. i dunno, i like 'em. that's why i had Sublime's Stand by your Van live album up there under my fav list.

I listen to mostly country music and they always change some of the words of a song to go with the town they are in. Take someone like George Jones. I think he is the man but I simply refuse to hear him sing live. He is always out of key and sometimes forgets words. On a studio album, he is the man.
