Your Top 10 Favorite Albums

[LeapofFate]

Since there is a "Your All Time Top 10 Favorite Songs" topic I thought it would be cool to have a "Your Top 10 Favorite Albums" topic.


1. Tool - Undertow
2. Cynic - Traced in Air
3. Porcupine Tree - Deadwing
4. Wolves in the Throne Room - Diadem of 12 Stars
5. Amesoeurs - Amesoeurs
6. Mastodon - Blood Mountain
7. Agalloch - Ashes Against The Grain
8. Opeth - Watershed
9. Astrobrite - Crush
10. The Ocean - Aeolian

Probably a lot easier to name 10 songs, although "Favourite" for me is only partially stable. For the last few months, it'd definitely have to be...

1. Steven Wilson - Insurgentes
2. OSI - Blood
3. ZHELANNAYA&MALERIA - 77RUS
4. OSI - Office of Strategic Influence
5. Akvarium - Akustica (Acoustics)
6. King Crimson - The Power to Believe
7. DDT - Mir Nomer Nol' (World Number Zero)
8. Porcupine Tree - Deadwing
9. Robert Fripp - At The End Of Time
10. King Crimson - Red

[TheTsunami]

Oh boy...not sure I can rank them, but the 10 would be:

Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
Alice in Chains - Jar of Flies
Metallica - Master of Puppets
Tool - Lateralus
Pearl Jam - Ten
Nirvana - Nevermind
Soundgarden - Superunknown
Stone Temple Pilots - Purple
The Beatles - Abbey Road
The Who - Who's Next?

(odd mix I suppose)

I like Focus a lot, but I find Traced In Air superior.

7. Arcade Fire - Funeral
8. Million Dead - A Song To Ruin
9. Tom Vek - We Have Sound
10. The Hives - Your New Favourite Band

[Emong]

Uh...

I'm guessing something like this (limited to one album per band):

- "Lateralus" by Tool
- "OK Computer" by Radiohead
- "23" by Blonde Redhead
- "Blood Death Ivory" by Angelspit
- "Opheliac" by Emilie Autumn
- "Pinkshinyultrablast" by Astrobrite (though I can't really decide my fave Astrobrite album)
- "Vol. II" by HURT
- "Loveless" by My Bloody Valentine
- "Souvlaki" by Slowdive
- "Flicker" by Ayria

Those are in no special order... So much bands were left out... And I guess I grew out of NIN O_o

[Qyot27]

Goo Goo Dolls - Gutterflower
Collective Soul - Blender
Peter Murphy - Love Hysteria
The Sisters Of Mercy - Vision Thing
The Offspring - Americana
Eve 6 - Horrorscope
Orgy - Vapor Transmission
Garbage - beautifulgarbage
Autumn's Descent - Deadletters
The Birthday Massacre - Nothing And Nowhere (as much as I love some of the songs on Violet, like "Play Dead" and "Nevermind", Nothing And Nowhere is a much more solid album - not to mention that for the songs that reappeared on Violet and Walking With Strangers, I vastly prefer the original renditions here)

That was tough, especially 'cause some of the other contenders could wind up on the list on any other given day. The main ones being Darkest Days (Stabbing Westward), Void (Under Midnight), Floodland (The Sisters Of Mercy), or most recently, Etched In Blood (The Dreaming - honestly, that album is what Stabbing Westward's final album should have been).
