What are your 5 greatest albums

I have over 200 CD albums and more downloaded on the PC, but the greatest in my mind have to be albums that still get played on a regular basis no matter the age and they have to be albums where every track is great, no duds of fillers. And no compilations.

For me the best are

Portishead - Dummy

Pulp - Different Class

Amy Winehouse - Frank

Alanis Morissette - Jagged Little Pill

Coldplay - A Rush of Blood to the Head

in no particular order

fear of a black planet - porcupine tree

songs for the deaf - queens of the stone age

fear of the dark - iron madien

metropilos pt2 - dream theater

yea i have a little BTBAM they are good, real good but not top 5 stuff, at least for me, what i really regret on my list is the lack of Hendrix, Megadeth, Brian Jones Town Massacre, Death and so many more of my favs that it's just sad :(

I'm sorry but as my friend says to me, I am highly uneducated in the real music.

But for me my fav albums are

Hybrid Theory- Linkin Park
Meteora- Linkin Park
Minutes to Midnight- Linkin Park
Reanimation- Linkin Park (if allowed)
Away from the Sun- 3 Doors Down
Fallen- Evanescence

Mind you, Linkin Park is the only band I love in and of itself and the only one that I like all of their albums. Evanescence and 3 Doors Down are the only two groups that I like at least one album of their music. The rest, I like a song here, a song there. maybe this song once in a while.

PS I was born in 1989.

No order:

Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables - Dead Kennedys
Energy - Operation Ivy
The Complete Anthology - The Germs (MIA)
The Whole World Is Watching - Morning Glory
Mediocre Generica - Leftover Crack
Squatta's Paradise - Choking Victim
System Of A Down - System Of A Down
Suicidal Tendencies - Suicidal Tendencies
Destruction By Definition - The Suicide Machines
29-29 Split Vision - Subhumans
The Truth Will be Heard - Stalag 17
Punk Police - Sick On The Bus
Run Your Pockets - No-Cash
Start Today - Gorilla Biscuits

As you can see I couldn't even settle on a top 10.
But for the single greatest album ever written it would have to go to FFFRV's by Dead Kennedys. Not my fav atm but easily the greatest :)

  • Wish you were here / Pink Floyd
  • Lateralus / Tool
  • The Bends / Radiohead
  • Daydream Nation / Sonic Youth
  • The Downward Spiral / Nine Inch Nails


Settling on those 5 was hard, a top 20 or 50 would have been much easier

Ok Computer - Radiohead
Yeild- Perl Jam
soul edit - Motorhead
