Your top 5 albums of all time

Well let me be the man to pop the music boards cherry :bitchslap:


So I didn't post a great deal on the old 606 (but I'm gonna change that) and I'm sure there will be a few others like me so lets get to know one another and see what everybodies taste in music is like.


Like the title said what are your top 5 albums of all time?

Mine would look a little like this

1) Guns N' Roses - Appetite for Destruction
2) The Misfits - Collection Vol.1
3) Zombina and the Skeletones - Death Valley High
4)Nekromantix - Return of the Loving Dead
5)Send More Paramedics - The Hallowed and the Heathen


If I wrote this next week the answers would probably be completely different depending on my mood.

Mine are below (bear in mind my age!)

1) Enter Shikari - Take to the Skies

2) Paramore - Riot!

3) 30 Seconds to Mars - This is War

4) Saosin - Saosin (self titled)

5) The Devil Wears Prada - With Roots Above and Branches Below

Like the OP said, this would change week on week!

going to show my age here and say that I dont know which are the album titles and which are the bands!

(thats a lie as Hero told me to check out the naked pic of the paramore girl last week.)

To prove my old age, here is my list:(and I am trying to only pick one album per band)

1. Clutching at Straws - Marillion
2. The Works - Queen
3. Wish you were here - Pink Floyd
4. 1987 - Whitesnake
5. Resistance - Muse

Do we have any old rockers here? Like 60s/70s/80s classic rock (Zeppelin, Purple, Floyd, Yes, ELP etc etc)

I do an internet radio show 3 times a week - not sure if the new forum rules allow me to advertise yet so I'll keep the link to myself until I get permission from the admins to promote it

Would love for some new listeners though. If the admins OK it I'll post the link here or maybe do a new thread for the show. The station is 24/7 online only (and purely for fun - not a commercial site). I'm on air Mon/Wed/Fri from 8-10pm UK. My show is the classic rock one but the station caters to lots of other tastes too.

My own favourite 5 albums of all time...

1) Octavarium - Dream Theater
2) Made In Japan - Deep Purple
3) Moving Pictures - Rush
4) Agents of Fortune - Blue Oyster Cult
5) Marquee Moon - Television

as with everyone else, that will probably be different tomorrow

5 very good albums there Dexter I am a HUGE Shikari fan, did you see them tour when they had Devil Wears Prada as the support act?
My top 5, #1 will always be there but the rest will change every so often

1. Linkin Park - Meteroa

2. Alter Bridge - ABIII

3. Enter Shikari - Take To The Skies

4. Nirvana - Nevermind

5. 36 Crazyfists - Rest Inside The Flames

erm, im totally different guys.
Im a massive dance music fan. Have had decks since i can remember.
But dont get me wrong, i do like some rock n metal music.
I saw Foo Fighters at the Newcastle Arena and that was one awesome night.

But for me, my love is dance, techno, hard dance, house, bounce etc.

Fave Albums =

1) Darren Styles
2) D J Tiesto
3) Hard Dance Anthems, mixed by Andy Whitby, Mark EG, Anne Savage and the mash up mix
4) Helter Skelter v Raindance
5) the Keiser Chiefs make it into my top 5 with Employment

I did indeed Steve it was October 2009 in Birmingham! Awesome gig, that's how I got into TDWP!

Shikari smash it (Richard Keys you dirty oh dear) every time I go to see them, such a good atmosphere at their gigs! Best one I would say would be in 2006 at one of my local venues and there was only about 500 people there

Was gutted last year coz I was going to see 30 Seconds to Mars with Shikari supporting but couldn't get tickets in time

Everyone to there own YI, I enjoy some Drum & Bass now and again! You into any of that? If you like heavyish stuff I'd give Enter Shikari a blast. They do some screaming with Drum & Bass/Dance beats.

Yeah, that tour was the reason I started listening to them too Dexter! Don't think I've ever been so messed up at the end of a gig, it was none stop the entire 2 and half hours I was there. Only ever seen them at bigger venues, reckon they'd be awesome in a smaller place though. Crowd would be nuts!

I seen them on that tour, 30STMs were absolutely insane but Shikari were a disappointment on the night. Hearing Destabilized was quality though. Had about 700 people dancing at the drum & bass breakdown near the end.

Pearl Jam - 10
Nirvana - Nevermind
The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses
At The Drive In - Relationship of Command
Oasis - defintley maybe

1) Californication - RHCP
2) Curb- Nickelback
3) Dance of Death- Iron Maiden
4) Pocket Full of Kryptonite- Spin Doctors
5) Love over Gold- Dire Straits

Top 5 is harder than I thought, I'm going to spend the next week now thinking of better albums than these

no problems from me Davie.

Go ahead and post the link - you might even want to start a new thread about it.

I am sure that if the site owner (HERO) has issues he will let you know.

One final thing, a lot of the people who set up this site and moderate it are part of a wrestling efed where we pretend to be wrestlers - my entrance theme was "Dont fear the Reaper" by BOC

All fine here!

Trying hard to think on my fave five albums now.

The five though that at different periods of my life probably got the most play were:

1. Portishead: Dummy
2. Massive Attack: Mezzanine
3. Bjork: Debut
4. REM: Automatic for the People
5. Pulp: Different Class

1, Led Zeppelin IV - Led Zeppelin
2, Appetite for Destruction - Guns N' Roses
3, Elements of Life - Tiesto
4, Resistance - Muse
5, Slippery When Wet - Bon Jovi

Top 5 Favourite Albums;

1) Everything Must Go - Manic Street Preachers
2) The Holy Bible - Manic Street Preachers
3) You Are The Quarry - Morrissey
4) When Shadows Collide With People - John Frusciante
5) Know Your Enemy - Manic Street Preachers

I tried to have 5 different bands, but it is impossible for me. Merely separating Everything Must Go and The Holy Bible is hard enough, without leaving one out of the Top 5.

I feel special mentions are needed for Generation Terrorists by Manic Street Preachers, This is my truth tell me yours by Manic Street Preachers and Journal for Plague Lovers by Manic Street Preachers

I have to be completely honest, it really depends on my mood. This list WILL change...

1. Jimi Hendrix - Electric Ladyland
2. Guns 'n Roses - Appetite For Destruction
3. The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses
4. Foo Fighters- The Colour and The Shape
5. Lost Prophets - Fake Sound Of Progress

Honorable mention to RHCP - Blood Sugar Sex Magik, Led Zep IV and Primal Scream - Screamadelica

Wow, I'm impressed with some of the choices. Definately alot of stuff that I'm into and some cool stuff thats completely different.

1) The Queen is Dead - The Smiths
2) Dookie - Green Day
3) You Are The Quarry - Morrisey
4) The Marshall Mathers LP - Eminem
5) More Than You Think You Are - Matchbox 20

As most have already said, my mind changes every week or so but here I go

1) Metallica - Ride the Lightening

2) Sepultura - Beneath the Remains

3) Deicide - Once upon a Cross

4) Slayer - Reign in Blood

5) Cruachan - Pagan

Awesome to see another You are the Quarry fan. Superb album.

The Queen is Dead should probably be in my 5 too. Mine was a bit bias because I saw the Manics live last week.

Is Diablo your 6WF character?

Yes - he was my character before Cassius.

Why?

Last of the Famous International Playboys is one of my favourite songs! :lol:

Me too. LOL.

I built his whole gimmick around having that as a theme tune. No wonder the character didn't really last long

Not in order
Machine Head Deep Purple
Hotel California Eagles
Mr Universe Gillan
Live Evil Black Sabbath

3) editors - an end has a start
4) florence and the machine - lungs
5) temper trap - conditions

These are the first 5 I thought of, its incrediblt difficult as once I had written them down I thought of about 20 more I have missed out, there is no smiths, joy division or many more I could have included, along with all the house music albums that are incredible

Creed-Weathered

3. The Queen is Dead (The Smiths)
4. Up the Bracket (The Libertines)
5. Is This Is (The Strokes)
