Also,

Manic Street Preachers - The Holy Bible

I've listened to the Born To Run album and I think it's disgustingly overrated, MOR, adult contemporary rock only done in the 80s crap. Seriously.

OhmygodIcan'tbelieveIforgotZiggy!

Diamond Dogs also *must* be on the list.

You must be taken out back and shot now, just for forgetting Ziggy...and Diamond Dogs apparently. (I only own the 2 disc Essentail Album...therefore, I am lame, and a hypocrit).

Every album of Anathema since "Pentecost III" plus the song "Sleepless"
Every album of My Dying Bride since "The Angel And The Dark River"
Dead Can Dance - Within The Realm Of A Dying Sun and Towards the Within
Satyricon - Now Diabolical, Volcano
The Gathering - How To Measure A Planet, Nighttime Birds, Home
Fields of the Nephilim - Mourning Sun
Kyuss - Sky Valley, ...And The Circus Leaves Town
Suicide Commando - Mindstrip
Mortiis - The Smell Of Rain
Dissection - Storm Of The Lights Bane
Tiamat - Wildhoney

Just some of the Greatest Albums ever....

Scytale · « **Reply #57 on:** 09 Feb 2007, 03:26 »

I Agree with you with a lot of band but I'll disagree on albums...

IMO "Turn loose the Swans" is the best MDB album and it comes out before Angel and the Dark River

Too be honest I haven't liked anything Anathema has done since "A Fine Day to Exit"

The Somberlain is the best Dissection album, John Zwetsloot was what made dissection so good, Light's bane is ok but it's really missing the classical touches Somberlain had. I dunno I jus think the atmosphere is missing on Light's bane.

Ironic for an album released in 1975.

ScrambledGregs · « **Reply #59 on:** 09 Feb 2007, 07:45 »

Whoops. Well I guess I know who to blame for the 80s crap, at least partially.

Johnny C · « **Reply #60 on:** 09 Feb 2007, 08:03 »

It was ahead of its time.

(I love that album. Maybe you should give the remastered edition a listen as it beefs up the sound past tinny, shitty 80's production.)

Philip Glass - Einstein on the Beach

Or you could just accept the possibility that no amount of listening and re-listening in various formats and mixes, possibly standing on one foot or with my head underwater, will ever make me like Bruce Springsteen.

The unfortunate truth is that in the years between now and your old age you may in fact strongly reconsider these words. This is never a good attitude to take about any artist or band.

Thrillho · « **Reply #64 on:** 10 Feb 2007, 14:08 »

On principle, I hate Springsteen. But I have The Ghost Of Tom Joad. It's a fantastic record. It's stark, stripped-back, naked. It's a fascinating album, quite heart-stopping. And I got it for ?3 (about $6), and for that money it's worth it just for the title track, 'Youngstown' and 'Dry Lightning.'

man, if I followed that I would basically not be listening to anything. I hated most of my now-favorite records the first time around.

Joseph · « **Reply #66 on:** 10 Feb 2007, 16:57 »

If you don't like the production on his more rock oriented albums, do at least give Springsteen's folkier stuff, such as Nebraska, Ghost Of Tom Joad, or Devils & Dust. Oh, and The Seeger Sessions, though that's a completely different experience than any of his other albums.

Catacombs · « **Reply #69 on:** 17 Feb 2007, 13:29 »

born to run, greetings from asbury park, and darkness on the edge of townare my favorite albums. i'd also recommend the rising and nebraska

Kyuss - Sky Valley

This is all I have to say. This is one of the greatest albums anyone has ever made, period. Anyone who wants to understand the way music should be listened to needs to own a copy of it.

Splintered1 · « **Reply #84 on:** 27 Feb 2007, 08:15 »

In my opinion....

David Bowie - Space Oddity (or pretty much any of his early stuff)
Joe West - The Human Canonball
Steve Burns - Songs for Dustmites
Elvis Costello - All This Useless Beauty

Just to name a few.

Hey guys.

Posting pictures of albums with no band name and no album name on the cover is a really good way to get people to hear them.

Yes indeed.

Yorkekida · « **Reply #86 on:** 04 Mar 2007, 08:20 »

Beatles-Revolver
Beatles-Sgt Pepper....
Velvet Underground and Nico-Velvet Underground And Nico
Pink Floyd-The Dark Side Of The Moon(Although I prefer Atom Heart Mother)
Pixies-Doolitlle
The Stone Roses-S/T
Tool-Aenima
Radiohead-Ok Computer
Massive Attack-Mezzanine
The Flaming Lips-The Soft Bulletin

Personally, I don't believe there is a single album that everyone should own. I think that there are certain albums that everyone should hear, for reasons of cultural significance or because of the music's quality or in order to expose everyone to various forms of music. However, everyone will always end up with their own individual tastes, and so long as they have given many forms of music a valid chance, and listened with an open mind, I cannot blame them if they decide "Nope, this albums isn't for me."
