| My Favourite Albums (ever)
obviously it's just me describing some f*cking awesome albums that, in my opinion, are the
greatest ever. | | 1 |  | Pink Floyd
The Wall
Hands down, this is my favourite album of all time. I am sure that many will disagree, but every song off of
this masterpiece entrances me and draws me into the story, which is one of depression and loss. | | 2 |  | Alice In Chains
Jar Of Flies
Jar Of Flies is actually an EP, not an album, but, although lacking in length, I can listen to these seven
songs for literally hours on end and gasp in awe at the musicianship of AIC as a collective. | | 3 |  | Dire Straits
Love Over Gold
The ultimate 'lay back and relax' album, this is, in my opinion, the best Dire Straits album, as well as being
one of my favourite albums of all time. One word that comes to mind when listening to this album is:
atmosphere. Give it a listen and you will understand what I mean. | | 4 |  | The Doors
The Doors
The Doors are the reason that I play piano (their keyboardist is one of the greatest), and when I first heard
this album several years ago, I was instantly hooked. Every song is well constructed, with Jim Morrison's
epic vocals and the sometimes eerie, sometimes happy keyboards being just some of the highlights. The
End, which is my favorite song foretelling the apocalypse, is also a stand out track that will haunt me
forever. | | 5 |  | Iron Maiden
Powerslave
Wow......... This album is amazing, a metal masterpiece. Every single track is like a driving spike being
pushed into your brain, until it all accumulates with the progressive metal epic, Rime Of The Ancient
Mariner. | | 6 |  | The Velvet Underground
The Velvet Underground and Nico
How were these guy not massive back in the 60s? Possibly because of their eerie dark tunes, or Lou Reed's
writings of the dark side of New York city. I'll Be Your Mirror, which is a very simple, short tune, is a
contender for my greatest songs of all time list (soon to come). | | 7 |  | Pearl Jam
Ten
Next to Jar of Flies, this is probably the greatest grunge album (although, in theory it is not grungey at all)
starting with the mighty Once, and ending with the dark Release, this album brings me on a roller coaster
ride through my own emotions, as well as the emotions of Eddie Vedder, who is the highlight of the album,
with his spectacular voice shining especially on tracks such as Black and Jeremy. | | 8 |  | Pink Floyd
Animals
When the world simply falls into a corporate mess, similar to the world described in George Orwell's 1984
(or Animal Farm for that matter), this is the album that I will be listening to from my bomb shelter. | | 9 |  | Tool
Lateralus
No genre can really define Tool, in all of their brilliance. Needless to say, this is an amazing album, and
definitely one of my favourite albums of all time. | | 10 |  | Nine Inch Nails
The Fragile
This double album encompasses my mind and soul, and is the spiritual sequel to The Downwards Spiral
(which also deserved a place on this list.) All emotions are expressed through this musical masterpiece. | |
Mendigo
02.21.09 | ah... great stuff.
haven't heard 2 & 3 yet but the rest is very impressive.
although I never completely got the appeal of 5, 6 & 7 I do really like these albums as well. oh, and Wish You Were Here is still my favorite Pink Floyd Album. | Underachiever
02.21.09 | thanks i think ill make another list because there are still a lot of albums that should be on this list (wish you were here included) | AliW1993
02.21.09 | 7 would be in my top 10. | R6Rider
02.21.09 | good list dude | The Computer
02.21.09 | I have 1,9,and 10 all rated as 5's. I agree with Mendigo, Wish You Were Here is the greatest Floyd album. | SylentEcho
02.21.09 | List is not too bad. Except for 9. | Burn2Burn
02.21.09 | 9 > list | tarethere
02.21.09 | if you liked vu and nico, get white light/white heat.
sister ray is a landmark in rock music | Spamue1G
02.21.09 | The 1st track aside (which I just don't get), White Light/White Heat is a necessity for anyone who likes weird music at all around that period. | Douchebag
02.21.09 | Good call on 4,5 and 7.
Although for grunge I much prefer Nevermind. (Yeah yeah yeah, get over it I love it! :) ) | Merkaba33
02.23.09 | most of these are my faves as well. except for 6 which i thought was lame and 3 which ive never heard. rotten apple off jar of flies is prolly my 2nd favorite song all time. | Chewie
02.23.09 | The Downward Spiral pwns the shit out of The Fragile | Sabottheory
02.28.09 | Lateralus is maybe my alltime favourite, The Doors and Animals also stand very high. | KILL
02.28.09 | 9 > list | chewytapeworm
02.28.09 | yeah so, 3 is just fucking amazing. |
