| Top 10 Albums
My current top 10 albums. I made a top 50 list a while ago and things have changed, sort of. I don't want to do another 50 list because I think that's excessive so here's my top 10. This was really hard to make, I had to exclude some real classics. | | 1 |  | Pink Floyd
Wish You Were Here
Every time I try to organize my favourite albums into a list, this always comes out on top. Others move up and down, but Wish You Were Here is just too grand to not claim the top spot. I think this will always be my favourite album. | | 2 |  | Radiohead
Kid A
This one shot up the ranks in the last little while. Every song is incredible in its own way and they all fit perfectly together to convey a message that's heart-breaking and heart-warming at the same time. Few albums have a closer as powerful as Motion Picture Soundtrack. I listen to this at least once a day and have been for a couple months now and it never bores me. Music is all about feelings, and this album gives me a feeling that is completly unique. For that, it gets the #2 spot. | | 3 |  | The Beatles
Abbey Road
What would a top albums list be without a Beatles album? Abbey Road has always been my favourite by them. I love how diverse it is and how the mood is constantly shifting throughout the whole ordeal. | | 4 |  | Pink Floyd
Animals
Pink Floyd is the only band that appears twice on this list, and while I would have like to have varied it a bit more, I can't deny that this album deserves to be here. It is, in my opinion, the best lyrical album of all time as well as the most well executed concept album ever. Also, Gilmour's guitar playing is jaw-dropping and manages to completey overshadow the talents of his bandmates on their respective instruments (which is saying quite a lot). | | 5 |  | Godspeed You! Black Emperor
Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To
Over time, this has emerged as my favourite post-rock album. It sounds like absolutely nothing else. I love every piece of instrumentation on this record form the spoken word section to the horns that begin the album. | | 6 |  | Jaga Jazzist
What We Must
A fantastic hybrid of post-rock and jazz. Jaga Jazzist manage to create an album that is unique, but familiar sounding all at once. The interweaving musical passages are superbly done each and every time. Using a jazz influence is a great way to break out of the easily monotonous post-rock album mold. | | 7 |  | Coldplay
Viva la Vida
Flame if you will, but I believe (and Waior agrees) that we sometimes get so lost in the technical analysis of what makes an album "good" that we forget to think about how it makes us feel. This album reminds me of a unique time in my life and every time I listen to it, I am taken back there. It may not be as musically impressive as some other records that didn't make this list, but that's not all that counts. This is definitely Coldplay's best album as the whole band seems to gell together in a fantastic, unprecedented manner. | | 8 |  | Thrice
Vheissu
A post-hardcore album that isn't really about post-hardcore. This combines all of the best aspects of Thrice's hard and soft sides into one brilliant sound. I like almost everything Thrice have done, but this one has a little something extra. Let the record show that I love Beggars, just probably not as much as this. Time will tell. | | 9 |  | Alexisonfire
Watch Out!
This is probably the first post-hardcore album I can recall listening to and it still stands out to me as one of the best ever made. I think George's scream is perfect on this album. Every song on here is a winner with the even the worst one (probably Sharks and Danger) surpassing the best songs on most other similar albums. Oh Alexisonfire, quit trying to be something you aren't. Ditch the Old Crows/Young Cardinals feel and return to form. I beg of you. | | 10 |  | Brand New
The Devil and God are Raging Inside Me
It took me a while to realize that this is a better album than Deja Entendu. It took me even longer to realize that it's an absolute classic. It shifts between loud and quiet so flawlessly. Also, the lyrics are haunting and beautiful. | |

08.19.09 | 7 blows, but rest is amazing | Yotimi
08.19.09 | Love 2,3, & 10. 1 and 8 are great. 5 is the only Godspeed album I don't have, I keep putting that one off for some reason. Just got 7 from the library yesterday and will be giving it a try. I don't understand the flaming the band gets in general, Coldplay have had some solid songs in the past. | Romulus
08.19.09 | I love 1,2,4,8,9,10. Great list. | JacobsLadder
08.19.09 | Great list 7 is great but not worthy of a top 10 list in my opinion. | Aids
08.19.09 | Haha shindip always shows up to say that Viva la Vida blows. | Titan50
08.19.09 | Crisis is AOF's best album -_-
Other than that, agree with 1, 4, and 10, 2, 3 and 7 are awesome, need to get 5 and 8 | Electric City
08.19.09 | viva la vida is a fantastic album, not in my top ten but I can sort of see how it would be for someone else. Great albums on here. | ameypv
08.19.09 | @aids514 roflmao | BenX02
08.19.09 | Your top 5 would be in my top five as well. Awesome list.
I NEED 10 SO BAD. | Aids
08.19.09 | Yes, you do. Careful though, it's a grower. | TomServo
11.08.09 | Fantastic list! So many of these are among my favorites as well.
7 is definetly the best coldplay album, i was never a fan of them before that, but that album was very enjoyable | Geist
11.08.09 | Yeah, awesome list. I need to listen to Wish You Were Here, though. I haven't even started to scratch classic alt-rock. | Aids
11.14.09 | I wasn't expecting new comments on this but hey what do you know.
-Thanks
-Wish You Were Here is musical perfection in my eyes. But I wouldn't call it "alt-rock" | MrGrind
04.01.12 | why is this on my discussions? | Oathbreaker
04.01.12 | Meh
| clercqie
04.01.12 | Solid list, Aids. But I still don't see why that Jaga Jazzist album is so revered. I found it quite dull actually, must be missing something. | Pentagon
04.01.12 | 7 sucks but everyting else is great. good list | SaneTBP
04.01.12 | Nice choice for 1 | KjSwantko
04.01.12 | nothing interesting here tho | Shuyin
