Recommend One Album

[JacobyPAX]

Sevendust - Seasons

 

[EHKOS]

For rap fans who like dark or unusual beats, Relapse by Eminem is a grand choice. I never like full albums except for this one, and my second one to reccomend.
The second is The Sound of Revenge by Chamillionaire. I like every single song on this album.

Lostprophets - Liberation Transmission (Rock)

1: It's the first album I laid eyes on when I was thinking what to post
2: It's really good, although perhaps quite mainstream, every song is decent.
3: If you go to HMV all four Lostprophets albums come under the 2 for £10 deal, so you can get all of them for £20. (hint: I cannot recommend this enough)

Ninja'd, dammit

Muse: Absolution. Their best album by far (Rock)

I'm glad you were going to post that one because tbh I was just expecting a load of LP fans to come on and berate me for choosing LibTran instead of SS.
You also reminded me that I really need to listen to more Muse.

 

[uncle-ellis]

Both of the wonder years albums.

There just great

 

[Totenkopf]

Art of War - Sabaton

This album is only made of awesome & epic songs.
Quotes of Sun Tsu add an intense and unique atmosphere to it.
Sabaton's best album so far.

 

[RhombusHatesYou]

Every Red Heart Shines Towards The Red Sun - Red Sparowes. Instrumental post-rock with steel guitar.

 

[-Samurai-]

The Second Stage Turbine Blade by Coheed and Cambria

That's what I was going to recommend. Guess I'll pick a new one.

To The Pain - Nonpoint

Great album. One of the few I can listen to all the way through.

 

[PurpleLeafRave]

Nightwish - Century Child

Such a good collection of songs. ^_^

This! I love Nightwish. This singer is better than the other one IMO.

OT: You neeeeeeed to own this. It's a masterpiece, especially The Count of Tuscany.

 

[Sark]

Bleach - Nirvana
By the Way - RHCP
Freak - Silverchair
Vulture Street - Powderfinger
Yourself or Someone like You - Matchbox 20
Throwing Copper - Live
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club - The Beatles

 

[Berserker119]

How about, Tool - 10,000 Days. Awesome album.

 

[Dragonforce525]

Avantasia - The Metal Opera parts 1 & 2

I know I was supposed to choose just one, but I honestly couldn't pick one or the other.

 

[That One Six]

Or anything by Rush, really.

 

[Tipsy Giant]

The Mars Volta - De-Loused in the Comatorium

If you like this try

Boris - Smile

Progressive Stoner Punk, from the heavy to the light and everything inbetween, superb!

PS. Deloused is one of my top 5 of all time, gotta love em live

LOL

Bless your cottons

Yeah, Either Nightwish or Dream Theater are fantastic. I'd have to say for Nightwish that either Century Child or The Greatest Hits would be good choices, but I'd like to worm The Islander in there somewhere. For Dream Theater, I have to say Octavarium. It's fantastic; listen to Never Enough - SO good.

 

[sheah1]

For utterly epic music:
Muse-Absolution.
Every single song is just incredibly awesome and epic.
For music that's still epic but can be played in the background:
Explosions in the sky-All of a sudden I miss everyone.
Explosions are just instrumental by the by, but it's totally epic.

 

[Danik93]

Rammstein - Libe Ist Für Alle Da
Deadmau5 - For Lack of A Better Name
Sabaton - Coat of Arms
Queens of the Stone Age - Rated R

I love them all!

 

[R4ptur3]

The Posion - bullet for my valentine - Metal/rock
Pendulum - hold your colour - Drum and bass
And someone already said avenged sevenfold and to that i say... NICE ONE!

 

[SimplyTheWest]

For happy, fun music, with a fair amount (I could be wrong) of Jazz mixed in, I would say:

The Cat Empire - Two Shoes

 

[MortalForNow]

Or anything by Rush, really.

The one I'd recommend people should listen to is...

Just for the title track alone, any budding rock fan should have this in their collection.

As for an album that most people haven't listened to, try out this one:

This album made me love Steely Dan and all other forms of that variant of rock. If you feel like trying out something different, go for this one.
