Favorite Albums EVAR

I didn't see a favorite album thread, so here's one. What are some of your favorite albums? For the sake of having a number, let's say pick 3, but I don't think anyone will care if you go over or under.

Guns n' Roses - Appetite for Destruction
The first rock album I ever bought, still one of my favorites. There are just so many reasons this album kicks ass. Pretty much the only things I can think of that I don't like about it is Sweet Child of Mine (Guitar Hero nerds killed it, same with Through the Fire and Flames) and the fact that the album doesn't end on something cooler (Rocket Queen's cool, but all the cooler songs were in like the first half of the album). If it weren't for this album I'd probably never have picked up guitar.

Cradle of Filth - Midian
Say whatever you want, Cradle of Filth was a good band before Dani let the attention the band got from this album get to his head. This album made me realize that there's more to metal than just thrash. This opened the door for obsession with black metal. Yup, blame Cradle of Filth, the most sellouty band in extreme metal. Well, except Cryptopsy. Kickass riffs, awesome synths, and poetic lyrics that actually tell a story of sorts or revolve around a central theme, unlike Dani's lyrics now which have degenerated into a retarded sea of gothic imagery.

Chthonic - Seediq Bale
This album is just badass, there isn't a bad song on here, if you like symphonic metal, melodic death metal, or black metal, definitely check this out.

And

GO

Hard one. For now I'll say Kamelot - Ghost Opera. Not a single track I don't like, and theres quite a few songs on their that are plain awesome, like Ghost Opera, Up Through the Ashes, Love you to Death, Mourning Star, and Rule the World.

I like Cradle! I especially like Nymphetamine and Babylon AD.

The Rasmus - Dead Letters
It was the first Rasmus album I bought, and it was their 5th. It was the album with 'In The Shadows' and 'Guilty' which are still my favourite ever songs, even after so many years. I must have played this album a million times, but I just love every single song on it, it's amazing and still one of my favourites; my family have learnt the words to most of the songs now. I even prefer this album to their latest album and their older albums, The Rasmus themselves even branded it "a monster album that would be hard to beat".

There are other albums which I really like, but that one is like the ultimate one.

I wouldn't say fav, but it's an awesome one.

The Downward Spiral - NIN

Wrap your brains around the subtext and story of that album.

Sufjan Stevens - Seven Swans, Come On Feel the Illinoise!
Joanna Newsom - Y's
Of Montreal - The Sunlandic Twins, Hissing Fauna, Coquelicot Sleeps Alone in the Poppies
Devendra Banhart - Smokey Runs Down Thunder Canyon, Nino Rojo, Cripple Crow

sweet.

See, you started off good, then suddenly derailed :P

My favourite album of all time is Illusions by Micael Graves and Damon Echols. It was mostly written by Echols and performed by Graves. Michael Graves put the project together to help raise money towards Echols appeal to be released from the death penalty and prison on wrongful acuations of murder. He and two other people were accused of a murder because they were in the area at the time and dressed in goth clothing and listened to heavy metal music.

Serial Experiments Lain OST
Serial Experiments Lain: Cyberia Remix
Serial Experiments Lain: bootLeg

The Doors - Self-Titled
The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
Sufjan Stevens - Michigan
Dr. Dre - The Chronic

That about covers it.

Hahaha, Cradle of Filth. They are about as extreme as O.P.M's skateboarding. Awful band.

Anyway I couldn't really pick some concrete favourite albums 'cause I tend to get bands entire discographies or close to it at a time and listen to them all in one go and then just play whatever I enjoy from them. I will randomly pick some albums I remember being quality and run with those.

DJ Shadow - ...Endtroducing
Enslaved - Mardraum/Below the Lights/Isa (cba to pick one of the three, all awesome Black Metal albums)
Iron Maiden - Number of the Beast
Sigh - Imaginary Sonicscape
Dälek - Abandoned Language
Nick Drake - Pink Moon

will do for now

Ronald Jenkees - Derty
Dengue Fever - Escape From Dragon House
Battles - Mirrored

I don't recall anyone saying they were extreme. :P

That's what they claim to be themselves.

I want to add another one. Damien Rice has been the staple of my dreamlife and sleeplife. So "O" is one of my most favouritest albums and deserves its own post, especially since it isn't a double post. ;x

In our opinion. Anyway, this isn't for bashing people's tastes.

Another favourite of mine is Alkaline Trio's Maybe I'll Catch Fire. The whole album is great songs.
