Top ten favourite Albums


Podo

Recommended Posts

As the title says, we have a thread for everyone's favourite movies and favourite cartoons, so why not one about everyone's favourite albums? Tell us what they are!

As my list will show, I mainly listen to a healthy mix of savage deathmetal, mixed with happy folk music. I like anything with a lot of energy.

My top ten:

[Album - Band]

1. Night at the Opera - Blind Guardian
2. Sea of No Cares - Great Big Sea
3. Safe Upon the Shore - Great Big Sea
4. Moving Pictures - Rush
5. Twilight of the Thunder God - Amon Amarth
6. The Varangian Way - Turisas
7. Endless Forms Most Beautiful - Nightwish
8. Last Stand - Sabaton
9. The Complete Collection - Slade
10. Sixty Minutes with Prism - Prism

This is really gonna be difficult. 

Gotta put Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath in there somewhere. Pink Floyd's The Wall. David Bowie. AC/DC. Depeche Mode. Nirvana. NIN. Marilyn Manson. VNV Nation.

It's so hard to pick albums outside of The Wall and maybe Downward Spiral. I loved so much from these people.

This is hard to reduce down a lifetime to 10 albums, so rather than 'in no particular order, I'll go chronologically:

Beatles: "Yellow Submarine". I was born in '63. Saw this movie at drive-in triple feature back in '68. A lifelong theme with me. Side 2 has a beautiful, George Martin produced, orchestral soundtrack not to be missed.

Pink Floyd: "Dark Side Of The Moon". Beyond reproach.

Frank Zappa & The Mothers Of Invention: "One Size Fits All". 

Residents: "Meet The Residents".

Quiet Sun: "Mainstream" (Look it up, good stuff).

Rush: "Permanant Waves". (A perfect album from a perfect band.)

Clash: "Sandanista". ( a fantastically produced 3 album work of genius.)

Radiohead: "Ok Computer".

White Zombie: "La Sexorcisto". Loaded with movie excerpts. Classic horror in rock form. Buy this album for your next road trip!

Finally, Offspring: "Ixnay on the Hombray". 

 Honorable mention:

Ministry: Debut album- "With Sympathy". Ministry: "Psalm 69".

Metalica: "Black album".

Pink Floyd: "Wish You Were Here".

PIL: "Second Edition".

Dead Kennedy's: "Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegatables".

(Second edition of previous post) This is hard to reduce down a lifetime to 10 albums, so rather than 'in no particular order, I'll go chronologically:
 
Beatles: "Yellow Submarine". 
I was born in '63. Saw this movie at drive-in triple feature back in the late 60's. A lifelong theme with me. Side 2 has a beautiful, George Martin produced, orchestral soundtrack not to be missed.
 
Pink Floyd: "Dark Side Of The Moon".
   Beyond reproach.
 
Frank Zappa & The Mothers Of Invention: "One Size Fits All". 
"Inca Roads" and "Sofa" (1 & 2) especially!
 
Residents: "Meet The Residents". 
 A personal favorite. It represents my irresponsible youth.
 
Quiet Sun: "Mainstream" 
 1975 with: Phil Manzanera and Brian Eno. 
 
Clash: "Sandanista". 
https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLw8I74P--tlVmX53NXBA_YtzoovpSfdlU  (a fantastically produced, [3 album] work of genius.)
 
Rush: "Permanant Waves". 
 (A perfect album from a perfect band.)
 
Radiohead: "Ok Computer". 
 
White Zombie: "La Sexorcisto".  
 Loaded with movie excerpts. Classic horror in rock form. Buy this album for your next road trip! ("One". "We are one." "Are you one Herbert?" "I am not Herbert": Spock)
 
Finally, Offspring: "Ixnay on the Hombray".  
 
 
 Honorable mention:
 
Ministry: Debut album- "With Sympathy". 
 
 Ministry: "Psalm 69". 
 
Metalica: "Black album". 
 
Pink Floyd: "Wish You Were Here".
 
PIL: "Second Edition".
