Mine are

Well, the one album that I loved every single track together, was the Vagrant Story OST...I dont include the bouns tracks, because their bonus tracks, not really part of the album

-Almost anything by Pink Floyd, but especially the following: The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn, Atom Heart Mother, Meddle, Obscured by Clouds OST, Dark Side of the Moon, Animals, The Wall.

-Emerson Lake and Palmer: Emerson, Lake and Palmer (no, I didn't repeat that, its the self-titled first album), Tarkus, Trilogy, Brain Salad Surgery.

-Genesis: The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway

I like other tons of other progressive rock bands, such as King Crimson, Frank Zappa, etc. but the above are most important.

An audio biography of Grace Jones, produced by Trevor Horn, it's a sonic treat along the lines of Yes's 90125 or Frankie Goes to Hollywood's first album (both produced by Horn). The music ranges from slick R&B runaway grooves to striking audio montages, interrupted occasionally by conversation about Jones's life. Serious ear candy.


The perfect album.

The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
Led Zeppelin IV

Even though Sgt. Pepper's doesn't have my favorite Beatles songs on it, the whole album just fits together so well I can't help but love it. And Led Zeppelin IV needs no explanation.

To add to my earlier post, the album Lateralus by Tool is their greatest one imo, next to Aenima, so I'm for that one as well.

Dido - No Angel (it was an album that suprised me a lot because normally I don't listne to one or two songs in an album and in these I listen all the songs)

Muse - Absolution (Much better than Showbizz)

Keane - Hopes and Fears (Simply beautiful, no words for such talent, the music part is simply amazing and most of the times you notice the presence of the piano. The lyrics are amazing, they mean a lot and the voice of the vocalist couldn't be better. He can sing some parts than I can't most of the times)

Nas - STILLmatic

"Off course we all know that Nas will never make another Illmatic, and thats true he doesnt need too, but will he ever make another Stillmatic?! Now this is classic. This is one of the greatest rap albums ever created/assembled. I never though that Nas was going to hit me over head with this album. If I could I would give this album an 11/10! Theres only one word to describe this album... Masterpiece! 1. Stillmatic (The Intro) 10/10 2. Ether 10/10 3. Got Ur Self A... 10/10 4. Smokin' 9.5/10 5. You're Da Man 9.5/10 6. Rewind 10/10 7. One Mic 9.5/10 8. 2nd Childhood 10/10 9. Destroy & Rebuild 10/10 10. The Flyest (w/ AZ) 10/10 11. Rule (w/ Amerie)10/10 12. My Country 10/10 13. What Goes Around 10/10 14. Every Ghetto 9.5/10"

Pain of Salvation - The Perfect Element: I

http://www.insideoutmusic.com/images/albumcovers/cov-pos-perfect1-300.jpg

This is a concept album that details the lives of two lost souls (named simply He and She to indicate the universal nature of these ills) living in the city Idioglossia. It works at once on a highly intimate and personal level and as blistering social commentary. The stories
and themes of this are brilliant, in this masterpiece of music by Daniel Gildenlöw.

It even has Perfect in the title. Go figure.

Yes. Back In The Picture isnt all that good, but I love all their songs. If You Ever is one of my favourites from DeadLetters. You won't have heard it though, UK Bonus track ;) Except one, I always skip Sail away. >_< Im disapointed in them choosing Sail Away to be the 2nd single released from HFTS. Its acoustic for gods sake!
