OT: Your top 3 albums of all time...

[SLY]

Just curious how diverse peoples picks are going to be...

1. Pink Floyd The Wall
I am a sucker for concept albums, and I grew up on this album. Literally listened to this album from start to finish well over a hundred times from start to finish. And of course the singles like "In the flesh?", "Comfortably numb" and "Run Like Hell" were constant favorites over the years. IMO, the emotion and creativity behind this album make it one of the greatest albums of all time.

2. Exodus Bonded by Blood
Fuck Metallica and the rest of the Big Four. These guys are the original thrash metal band. Formed in 1980, and still going strong today. One of the innovators of the Bay Area Thrash Scene. It is unfortunate that most people don't even know these guys. With Metallica and Slayer going mainstream, these guys took the backseat over the years. But IMO they are the best thrash band and one of the main reasons I got into metal. Just listen to the title track :Bonded by Blood" and watch your face melt off while headbanging.

3. Opeth Damnation
While their early work is brilliant and great, it is very heavy and not appealing to many people. This album truly showcases the musicians this band came to be. Any true music fan should give this album a listen, the title is misleading. It is an album of all melodic songs by the band. They are originally a death metal band formed in 1990. Over the years they have incorporated jazz fusion elements as well as progressive rock and folk into their sound. They are the only band that could make a death metal song sound amazingly beautiful and pleasant to the ears. There is not one bad song on this album, and like I stated before, any fan of rock should check this out, you may not like their other albums due to the heaviness, but check this one out for sure.


Now let's see what you bastards like...

After writing the OP I realize just how hard it is to narrow your selection down to only 3. There are so many bands and albums that could crack that list for me... tough. Led Zeppelin for sure, but these 3 albums are definitely top 5. Appetite for Destruction by GnR was another album I played till the CD melted away.

1. Black Sabbath- Paranoid

2.Pink Floyd- Wish you were here

3. Slayer- South of heaven, Seasons in the Abyss, Reign in blood.

[SLY]

[Forty_Sixand2]

Tool, Aenima

Faith No More, Angel Dust

Damn, Sabbath too... Yea, 3 albums is way too hard, lol.

How 'bout I edit the thread title to say 5 instead?

 

[SuperFlyer13]

Damn, Sabbath too... Yea, 3 albums is way too hard, lol.

Ya you can't limit it to 3. there are a lot of great cds out there, Aenema, like 46&2 mentioned, a lot of old Stones albums are on my list too, along with the GNR you mentioned. Too many to just say 3 for sure..

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

3 is actually easier than 5 for me. My top three are a lock, it is 4-10 that gets all muddled, ha ha!!

 

[TOX1]

Narrowing it down to 3 would be impossible for me because I love 3/4 of a shit ton of albums, just none in their entirety.

 

[SLY]

lol... Faith No More too. Haha, maybe this was a bad idea. But my 3 are locks pretty much. Pink Floyd is my fav band of all time. Exodus is my fav metal band, and Opeth is my favorite prog band.

FNM is often overlooked, but yo know you love it:

Its not even so much Faith No More, I just admire Mike Patton's musicianship. He is so damn diverse. Mr. Bungle, Fantomas, Faith No More, Tomahawk, Peeping Tom, Dillinger Escape Plan (for one album), and endless collaborations with other artists on his Ipecac Records. He even has a big band project where he sings in italian, just never ceases to amaze.

So hard to limit to just 3 but here goes..... ( 3 of my faves, Paranoid, Aenima, and The Wall are already listed, so i wont repeat)

 

[SLY]

What is the first one you listed sbb? Just a red x for me. And you could have repeated... This is about listing YOUR top 3 albums of all time.

 

[sbb122]

Stone Temple Pilots No.4

 

[sbb122]

I know i could have repeated but i have so many i can listen to in their entirety i figured i would post a few nobody else had posted.

 

[Automattic]

I can't ever create a list. My mood changes so much that I could never pin them down. Like right now, I would Probably say a CCR album. Tomorrow could be Alice in Chains? Ice Cube? Megadeath? Jon motherfucking Cash!?! Pantera? Sublime? George Strait?...

 

[ELYEAH82]

Pink Floyd Dark side of the moon

Metallica- Master of Puppets

Pantera-Far Beyond Driven (My Workout Music)
