What is your favourite album, of all time?

[Valkyrie101]

Based on prior experience, I don't think this will be the only mention of Painkiller in this thread.

EDIT: I was right.

 

[sheogoraththemad]

damn that's not an easy question..
for the moment it's radioheads Ok Computer but it changes with the day

Nightwish's Once album.

Indeed an awesome album (as long as you're talking about the Tarja one). Here's a few more, I can't pick just one favorite album:

Guero - Beck
Stranger in Town - Bob Seger
Don't Fear the Reaper - Blue Oyster Cult
Death and All it's Friends - Coldplay
Cansei de Ser Sexy - CSS
All Over the World - ELO
Come Dancing with the Kinks - The Kinks
Bat Out of Hell - Meatloaf
Nazareth - Hair of the Dog (maybe the best on the list)
Tommy - The Who

..maybe I went a little overboard, but yeah.

My photo albums, so many memories.... oh wait...

I couldnt pin down one, it changes far far too often, as for some of the most recent ones

"It Is Well" by "Kutless"
"4x4=12" be "Deadmau5"
and the Scrubs soundtrack, having started listening to it again this week for the first time in years, forgot how good it was!

Fever to Tell - Yeah Yeah Yeahs

This was a surprisingly easy question.

 

[Squilookle]

Pink Floyd's Obscured By Clouds. Very underrated album if you ask me, which some fantastic songs that have amazing guitar and piano work.

Childhood's end haunts me every time I hear it.

For me personally it's The Wall.

 

[A.A.K]

Iconoclast
yes...by Heaven Shall Burn.

Kinda sticks out with what I've read so far but in the words of HSB "Fuck you lot"

Without question:

Tom Waits - Bone Machine.

Always loved Waits, but there's always been a few tracks on each of his albums which I find hard to listen to, and not for the right reasons. Bone Machine was the only one where I could find both brilliance and meaning in every track.

 

[teqrevisited]

The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, by Genesis.

 

[Nazulu]

Don't have ONE but FOUR at the moment.

Apocalypse by the Mahavishnu Orchestra

Paranoid by Black Sabbath

Brain Salad Surgery by Emerson, Lake & Palmer

and The Wall by Pink Floyd.

Such a shame the new generation doesn't appreciate great albums. Ever since everyone started dumping all the songs they downloaded randomly onto their iPods, they have no knowledge of where they came from. Well, obviously not everyone, but most of the people in my school.

 

[Naeo]

Oh god I can never answer this question.

It's between Agaetis Byrjun by Sigur Ros, Smile by Boris, From These Wounds by Funeral, and Mr. Beast by Mogwai. I honestly cannot decide between those.

 

[Reverend Del]

VNV Nation Future Perfect

 

[Kizi]

...And Justice for All - Metallica. I love everything about it. The music, the lyrics, the raw production; it all contributes to making it an amazing record.

 

[Nazz3]

Amorphis - Tales from the Thousand Lakes
Amorphis - Tuonela
Agalloch - Marrow of the Spirit
Agalloch - The White
Wintersun - S/T
Tenhi - Kauan
Moonsorrow - Varjoina kuljemme kuolleiden maassa
The Who - Tommy
Thergothon - Stream from the Heavens

I love each of these for different reasons and just cant choose one.

Moonsorrow - V: Hävitetty (V: Ravaged) [Black metal or somesuch]
56 minutes, 2 songs. Not one boring moment, the first song starts a bit slow perhaps but that 5-minute intro just goes past so incredibly fast once you've listened to it a couple of times. Some of best riffs and melodies ever and incredibly aggressive and painful vocals and screams, the one at 7-min mark is one of my favourites. The atmosphere is just out of this world and every single time I listen to it, it just kind of makes me ignore everything else.

I love the first half but never got into Tuleen Ajettu Maa.

 

[Shodan1980]

"Discovery" by Daft Punk. A classic album that still fills me with joy to listen to


In accompaniment with Leiji Matsumoto's Intastella 5555 its perfection

 

[Darth Sea Bass]

Pearl Jam - TEN

A close second would have to be Angel Dust, by Faith No More... damn I miss the 90's

Kudos sir!

Though i'd go with Angel Dust and Vs. Over Ten and a 3rd candidate would be Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by The Smashing Pumpkins.

 

[ManOwaRrior]

Ride the Lightning or Master of Puppets from Metallica.
Grrrr, deciding between those two is crimminally hard, so I won't.

 

[The Rockerfly]

"Discovery" by Daft Punk. A classic album that still fills me with joy to listen to

Quoted for truth and fixing the inbedded video for you

 

[Sarah Kerrigan]

It will forever be '10,000 Days' By TOOL. Vicarious being the one single that made me extremely fall in love with such item. It will forever be my altime favorite.
