[tailz]

metallica - S&M
dragonforce - valley of the damned
Offspring - ixnay on the hombre
nightwish- century child
kaiser chiefs - employee

[GooeyToast]

I'm a little surprised to see Amputechture mentioned a couple of times as well. You guys who picked it may be the only people I've met who don't hate it with a passion.

I think people hate Frances much more.

[eestlinc]

i'll stick to "pop" albums (in alpha order by band)

bob dylan - highway 61 revisited
pink floyd - wish you were here
radiohead - kid a
rolling stones - let it bleed
stereolab - transient random-noise bursts with announcements

[Wolf Kanno]

Not in any particular order:

Simon and Garfunkel - Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme
Pink Floyd - Wish you Were Here
The Beatles - Revolver
Queen - A Night at the Opera

I love you

For me...

Daft Punk- Discovery
Gorillaz- Demon Days
The Pillows- Happy Bivouac
Billy Joel- Glass House
Yoko Kanno- Songs to Fly

I decided to limit myself, so I didn't use soundtracks, greatest hits, or compilation albums.

Not a single person I've ever talked to, but of course everyone will have a different take on things as subjective as music. Although it's a pretty strong statement that every Mars Volta fan I know (myself included) refuses to ever listen to Amputechture again, and is pretty much done giving any of their new stuff the time of day unless they really wow us in the future (I doubt it with John Theodore gone now though).

[TyphoonThaReapa]

Eminem Show- Eminem
Thug World Order- Bone Thugs -N- Harmony
Stillmatic- Naz
Years Later- Soulja Slim
All Eyes On Me (Remastered)- 2Pac

All Day

I always feel like an idiot trying to compile a list of my favorite albums, because there are so many things I listen to that I know aren't "best ever" quality but are still really entertaining. But here goes.

The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
The Beatles - The White Album
Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin IV
Train - My Private Nation
The Verve Pipe - Villains

[Doomie]

Oh, this will be difficult.

1. Red Hot Chili Peppers ~ By the Way
2. Red Hot Chili Peppers ~ One Hot Minute
3. Red Hot Chili Peppers ~ Blood Sugar Sex Magik
4. Red Hot Chili Peppers ~ Stadium Arcadium
5. Red Hot Chili Peppers ~ Californication
6. Red Hot Chili Peppers ~ Mother's Milk

I couldn't cut it down to five.

I think that's a little harsh. They went in a different direction for Amp, just like they did with Frances, and while a lot of fans think it pales in comparison to their first two, I still think it is an excellent album. Vicarious, Tetra, and DotB is worth the price of the album alone, in my opinion.

And although Jon leaving does suck, it's not as if they'll never be good again. Considering Omar and Cedric write all the music, the drummer's job is just to play. I doubt a different one will totally alter their sound.

[Mitch]

1. The Mint Chicks - Crazy? Yes! Dumb? No!
2. The Datsuns- The Datsuns

[Devourment]

Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin
