New site? Maybe some day.
|
If this has been done I completely apologize but I think I've seen like favorite death metal and stuff - but what would you guys say are your favorite albums of all time!? Any genre, any number (5,20,100, anything) anything!
I'm gonna think and repost later - but I'm home sick and bored as fuck - so let's see it!
Again if this has been done - sorry, and I couldn't find it - and I'll delete it or whatever if I have the power to do so! |
|
Feel sorry for the fanatic by Morgoth |
|
I'm still thinking but unquestionably:
Miles Davis - Kind Of Blue
I don't actually think there would be a ton of metal in mine. I love a lot, but don't know if they're among my favorites of all time...? |
|
Judas Priest - British Steel
Carcass - Heartwork
Hum - Downward is Heavenward
Glassjaw - Worship and Tribute
Demilich - Nepisthe |
|
no way i can create a list. too fucking many. |
|
That's almost how I'm beginning to fell too! And I do take back what I said, there probably would be a lot of metal - but probably just a ton more other stuff. |
|
I don't know if I could ever pick all time favs for anything. Love a lot of albums, yes. But to actually pick favs, that's a doozy. Too many albums introduced me to new genres and those might be considered my favs, but then there are certain albums in those said genres that are certain standouts that I'll always appreciate and love. I've rambled enough. Time to wipe my ass, as this whole statement has come directly from me being on the john, trying to squeeze out the rest of my shits. All systems clear now!
|
|
I like that comment Pires. I really feel as though almost everything I own is a personal favorite for it's own reason. Certainly there are some I prefer to others, but I get what you're saying for sure. |
|
my list would be a mile long, but I definitely have favorite over other albums I own/have downloaded
....I'll probably breakdown later from boredom at work, and start listing some |
|
I think I can narrow it down to five; all have stood the test of time:
Bathory - Hammerheart
NIN - The Downward Spiral
Radiohead - OK Computer
Immortal - At the Heart of Winter
Massive Attack - Mezzanine |
|
All you fuckers that can't decide, DECIDE!!
There's not "too many"...we're all music fanatics (unless you post here for internet points), there has to be some albums that made you that way, ones that you couldn't stop listening to, ones that brought you through your formative years that you still love. Ones that you force others to listen to. Genres and all that bullshit aside. |
|
I can't have favorites. It'd probably go in the 100s. |
|
LOSERS
GO STARE AT A RESTAURANT MENU FOR AN HOUR |
|
boys night out - trainwreck
go fuck yourself. |
|
i can narrow it down to 5:
Type O Negative - October Rust
Pantera - Far Beyond Driven
Opeth - My Arms, Your Hearse
Godflesh - Streetcleaner
Emperor - In the Nightside Eclipse |
|
metallica- kill em all
black sabbath- master of reality
necro-i need drugs
suffocation-effigy of the forgotten
SOD-speak english or die
so hard to pick just 5, im missing atleast 10 fav. albums on this list |
|
Black Sabbath - Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
Iron Maiden - Killers
Judas Priest - Sad Wings Of Destiny
Hawkwind - Hall of the Mountain Grill
Blue Cheer - Outside Inside
Black Flag - My War
The Rolling Stones - Exile on Main Street
Cro-Mags - Age of Quarrel
Entombed - Clandestine
Witchfinder General - Death Penalty
Just a couple of them for now...
|
|
I'm not going to fully participate in this. However...
A life without this album is a life not worth living. |
|
props to GUY for putting Necro - I need Drugs |
|
I could listen to Metallica - Ride The Lightning forever. |
|
Opeth - Still Life
Dream Theater - Scenes From A Memory
Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon
Tori Amos - From The Choirgirl Hotel
Porcupine Tree - Deadwing |
|
to combat my obnoxious neighbors and their incessant hip-hop blaring on Saturday i sat on my front porch with a 30 of High Life and BLASTED Ride the Lightning across the entire neighborhood. it was glorious. |

The Gathering - How to measure a planet
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds- The Boatman's Call
Meshuggah- Chaosphere
The Dillinger Escape Plan- Calculating Infinity
Faith No More- Angel Dust
Tool-Aenima
Mr. Bungle - California
The Faceless- Planetary Duality
Those are in no particular order, and i'm sure there are plenty i forgot.. but whateva. |
|
and i agree with Darkwor, all this "I can't decide" shit is cliche and predictable, get over yourselves and give us some album names! |
|
I usually don't have favorites. Stuff I play only resonates off of what mood I'm in; whichever captures the atmosphere I'm in as well.
Of course I love certain albums, but I respect each one for what they are and would not want to list "5" . Like I said, my list would go in the hundreds. |
|
well sir, how about you give us 10 of the ones that you think you've listened to the MOST over your whole life, and if your having problems, come back later and list 90 more. K? |
|
I wouldn't say MOST listens in my life but here are a few that I can think of off the top of my hung-over head that at one point inspired me emotionally and musically:
King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King
Acid Bath - When the Kite String Pops
Dissection - Somberlain
Atheist - Unquestionable Presence
Windir - Arntor
Menhir - Thuringia
Slayer - Hell Awaits & Reign in Blood
Morbid Angel - Blessed are the Sick (toss up)
Jethro Tull - Aqualung
Neil Young w/ Crazyhorse - Zuma
everything by Nobuo Uematsu
everything by Hitoshi Sakimoto
Tangerine Dream - Rubycon
Klaus Schulze - Timewind
I find myself listening to more ambient-based music, 70s prog, and classical-based music than metal right now. |
|
5 more
death-leprosy
terror-lowest of the low
emperor-in the nightside eclispe
pantera-vulgar display of power
slayer-show no mercy |
|
Carcass - Necroticism
Iron Maiden - Piece of Mind
Morbid Angel - Blessed Are the Sick
Deftones - All
|
|
oh, and just about everything by Ulver, both old and new. |
|
Death - Symbolic
Misfits - Earth AD/Walk Among Us
Braid - The Age of Octeen
Call It In the Air - Just A Morning Thought
Jimmy Eat World - Clarity |
|
Burzum - Det Som Engang Var
White Zombie - Astro Creep 2000

Darkthrone - Total Death
Nile - Amongst the Catacombs of Nephren-Ka |

Assuck - Misery Index
Napalm Death - Utopia Banished
Autopsy - Severed Survival
|
|
aril can you give some good 70's-ish prog albums? i love rush, mahavishnu orchestra, etc. wanting to get into more. |
|
Summertime = Trips up to Newburyport and surrounding areas, blasting Novembre's Dreams D'azur |
|
Jon, probably a stupid question... but have you gotten into King Crimson? Crazy prog action with wonderful drumming. |
|
actually i'm not familiar with any of KC. will check it out! |
|
listen to their ep "RED" first, then go from there. That particular EP is definitely in my top 10 . |
|
In The Court Of... obviously slays but fucking Red is also out of control. Probably my favorite KC album! |
|
well, tell me what you've heard? are you familiar with Tull, King Crimson, Camel, Yes, Deep Purple and those bands? Aside from those bands, there are hundreds of underground prog bands from the 70s when it was in its prime but it's always best to start with the basics.
First and foremost I'd recommend understanding the fact that Pink Floyd is only the tip of the iceberg and sadly most college students with posters of The Wall or DoM don't care to delve deeper into it.
I'm starting to get more into it myself, especially some obscure and hard-to-find releases. Of course, the internet becomes your best friend in these situations so I would highly recommend the blog "Prog not Frog" . |
|
my dad got me into tull, yes, spirit, some other stuff. i've heard of camel, i'll check em out. deep purple i was never really a fan of. this blog looks pretty fucking awesome though, thanks. |
|
But it would also be good to note that don't expect "prog" bands to sound like Rush. To me, Rush are in a different dimension than most other prog bands, mainly because they arrived later in the 70s (meh, their first album is Led Zepp worship if you ask me) and because they rely more heavily on music theory than some others. King Crimson is more of an acid/rock/prog hybrid, but each album sounds different. But they did way more drugs than Rush, you can count on that.
If you want something that has somewhat similar drumming to Neil Peart, I'd suggest Camel - MoonMaddness |
|
and pink floyd, i'm extremely familiar with. pretty damn sick of em too. |
|
i'm basically looking for what was groundbreaking and evil for the time. the more drugs the better. |
|
And I failed to mention ELP. Emerson, Lake and Palmer. Greg Lake (dude is a god) played bass and did vocals on King Crimson's 1st album, and vocals on the second one In the wake of poseidon |
|
but anyway, I've done enough blabbing/wasting time at work, on with the lists |
|
at the gates-slaughter of the soul
cromags-age of quarrel
deicide-amon
iron maiden-number of the beast
cannibal corpse-vile
|
|
Black Flag - Loose Nut
Voivod - Nothingface
NOMEANSNO - Wrong
Buzzov-en - Sore
Neurosis - Enemy Of The Sun |
|
Cannibal Corpse - Bloodthirst
KISS - Hotter Than Hell
Mercyful Fate - Don't Break the Oath
|
|
no prob darkwor. that blog is perhaps one of the best out there. some of the stuff they have on there is so rare, you can't even find any info on the bands on the internet. there's some great german/norwegian prog bands on there. but you have to take into consideration that they are ripping the sound from vinyl so the production isn't great. |
|
I'll second that emotion.
Also, any/every Michael Jackson album before Dangerous.
|
|
I knew I'd break down.....in no order:
Converge - Petitioning the Empty Sky, Jane Doe
Cave In - Until Your Heart Stops, Jupiter
Glassjaw - both full lengths
Dillinger Escape Plan - Calculating Infinity
Pantera - Vulgar Display of Power
Pig Destroyer - Prowler In the Yard
Rage Against the Machine - s/t, Evil Empire

Neurosis - Enemy of the Sun
Muse - Absolution, Black Holes And Revelations
Napalm Death - Enemy of the Music Business
American Nightmare - Background Music

just thought of some more...lol

Blood For Blood - Spit My Last Breath
Bane - It All Comes Down To This
Majority Rule - Emergency Numbers

|
ISIS- Mosquito Control!!!
Botch- We Are The Romans
This will be how the rest of this thread plays out, people will continually modify their lists until they stop caring about this thread....and i too will continue in this endless cycle. DAMN YOU!! |
|
+1 Although I'd have to pick Anthology over Romans as my favorite. |
|
yeah, anthology has better stuff on it... but WATR has so much more music overall. It's a tough one, i wasn't sure which one to put. |
|
Yeah I'm gonna keep adding too:
ISIS - Panopticon
Neurosis - The Eye Of Every Storm
Miles Davis - Kind Of Blue
The Beatles - Anything from Rubber Soul on
Megadeth - Rust In Peace
Testament - The New Order
Metallica - ...And Justice
Meshuggah - ObZen
Dillinger Escape Plan - All full lengths
Every Time I Die - Hot Damn! and onward
Converge - Probably anything
Muse - Absolution
Motorhead - Ace Of Spades (and pretty much everything)
Radiohead - Kid A
Van Halen - Any David Lee stuff.
And I don't know if it'd be there now but all the talk about the new Glassjaw EP made me listen to Worship & Tribute and remember how sick it was. Zeppelin, Who, Deftones, Dylan, Coltrane, and Springsteen could all fit somewhere in there nicely. |
|
Pantera, Thin Lizzy. Yes to the kid who said people will never stop adding. |
|
Pantera - Cowboys From Hell
XTC - English Settlement
Adam Sandler - They're All Gonna Laugh At You!
Glassjaw - Everything You've Ever Wanted to Know About Silence
Judas Priest - Sad Wings of Destiny
Converge - Petitioning the Empty Sky
'Weird' Al Yankovic - Even Worse
Disgorge - She Lay Gutted
Burnt By the Sun - Soundtrack to the Personal Revolution

|
Cannibal Corpse - Tomb, Butchered, The Bleeding
Carcass - Heartwork, Tools of the Trade EP
Killswitch Engage - Alive or Just Breathing

|
|
|
Miles Davis - Kind of Blue
|
|
|
Good to see the Miles Davis love. |
|
|
aril can you give some good 70's-ish prog albums? i love rush, mahavishnu orchestra, etc. wanting to get into more. |
On more of the Rush hard rock tip, you should definitely own Captain Beyond s/t, Lucifer's Friend s/t,
If you like Mahavishnu, get the 70's Skid Row stuff. Not the 80's cheesy glam band, a whole different animal, jazz/blues inflected hard rock. Well worth owning.
Check out Gentle Giant, that's a prog must have.
I really like Camel, but that might be too cheesy for some...
I'd recommend getting High Tide's two albums, and the Night Sun album, that's prog/psych hard rock/proto-metal at its best.
If you're into the kraut thing, get the first few Amon Duul II albums. I love everything up til Wolf City, and like most of the stuff after that. The first four though, Phallus Dei, Yeti, Tanz Der Lemming, and Wolf City, those are essential to any prog collection.
For more great kraut rock, check out Ash Ra Tempel, Neu!, and Can. Also Guru Guru. If you like Mahavishnu, you should dig those bands.
Get the Genesis stuff from the 70's. You won't be disappointed, that's some of the greatest conceptual prog ever made.

I would gladly pay extra for a house in a neighborhood that banned nu-metal and hip-hop. All the kids would cry censorship and I would LOL as they moved out into shitty city apartments and had to listen to amplified stupidity 24-7. |
