Your Top 5 Albums

[Nick Kuhn]

I don't see a whole lot of music discussion here so I thought it'd be fun to see what everyone likes.

In no particular order for me:

Dream Theater - Metropolis Pt 2: Scenes from a Memory

Symphony X - The Divine Wings of Tragedy

The Mars Volta - Deloused in the Comatorium

Metallica - Master of Puppets

Tool - Ænima

For me it was a close call between Scenes from a Memory and Images and Words from Dream Theater. Otherwise the rest were pretty easy picks.

Edit: Added wikipedia links for more info on the albums.

[Eric Wettschreck]

Gotta be honest with ya, I've only heard of one of those albums.

1. Rush 2112.

2. Zepplin 4.

3. Queensryche Operation Mindcrime.

4. Stevie Ray Vaughn Texas Flood.

5. Jethro Tull Aqualung.

[Nick Kuhn]

Which is odd because I just picked a random websites list of the top 100 progressive albums and here's what we hit between the 2 of us:

You:

10. 2112 (1976) - Rush

34. Aqualung (1971) - Jethro Tull

42. Operation: Mindcrime (1988) - Queensryche

Me:

20. Scenes from a Memory (1999) - Dream Theater

40. Aenima (1996) - Tool

43. The Divine Wings of Tragedy (1996) - Symphony X

53. De-loused In the Comatorium (2003) - The Mars Volta

So I'd say we are both progressive fans, though I lean more toward metal and you lean more toward rock I guess...

Live at Luther is amaaaaaaaaaazing... I love Dave Matthews and his music with a passion! Great choice here. If i had to put up my top 5 albums, they would all be DMB!!!

[Far-I]

Yo Pauly You like Darkside more than Animals?

[CJH]

Live at Luther is amazing. Can't believe I left that off my list! That's Dave at his best, and the songs I like the most!!

[jwmiller33]

Live at Luther is amazing. Can't believe I left that off my list! That's Dave at his best, and the songs I like the most!!

So true! I listen to that CD daily, because it has been in my CD player for months. I also listen to my ipod daily and about 90% of the songs on my ipod are DMB songs... I absolutely looove live at luther tho... Dave and Tim were on fire that whole night! Live at Radio City isn't too shabby either!

[Chef]

I honestly can't rate all of Led Zep to do them justice and I can't just list 5 of their albums as my top 5. So here goes:

Zep II

Roxy Music (self titled)

Police--Outlandos D'Amore

Nirvana-Nevermind

Elvis Costello--My Aim is Ture

Runners-Up:

Stone Temple Pilots-Purple

Beatles--Abbey Road

Neil Young-Harvest Moon and Decade

The Wall

Dark Side O the Moon

Back In Black

Talking Heads--Speaking in Tongues

If I were going to just pick a floyd album to listen cover to cover, DSOTM would be picked majority of the time. They are all right there, even Final Cut makes the cut. On a regular day the top 5 albums would all be assorted Floyd, but I figured I would mix it up. I only listed 4, so #5 would be Bob Seger's Stranger in Town

[FasterThanYou23]

1)Appetite For Destruction-GUNS&ROSES

2)...And Justice for all-METALLICA

3)Cowboys From Hell-PANTERA

4)Ænima-TOOL

5)Lost and Found-MUDVAYNE

[TurnUpTheFishing]

no particular order...

The Clash - London Calling

The White Stripes - DeStijl

The White Stripes - Elephant

Atmosphere - Seven's Travels

Last one probably Metallica but cant pinpoint just one album.

[DARK30]

I can't even remember them all but heres a few..

These albums contributed heavily to my current hearing loss and the fact that I have CRS.
