I like to do this little rant every now and then:
-
In no particular order (and subject to change at any time):
Pinkerton - Weezer
Permission to Land - The Darkness
Ace of Spades - Mot
-
Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral
: (
Aw, darn you beat me too it for my numero uno!
1. NIN - The Downward Spiral
2. Radiohead - Ok Computer
3. Beck - Odelay
4. From Autumn to Ashes - A Fiction We Live
5. Reggie and The Full Effect - Songs Not To Get Married To
Radiohead and Beck have been my unknown musical gods for sometime, I've listened to their stuff for so long, but nothing really clicked... I wish I embraced music when I was much younger (Luckly I have brothers who've had good tastes, it helps.) : )

5. Hail to the Thief - Radiohead
(https://castlevaniadungeon.net/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimages.amazon.com%2Fimages%2FP%2FB000092ZYX.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg&hash=a36041aec996ae8e785ccb360d20bfb9)
While I really like Kid A and Amnesiac, I am glad that Radiohead decided to go a bit more(if only a bit) traditional with Hail to the Thief. There is a lot of variety in this album, starting off with the blasting 2+ 2 = 5 through to the beautiful,beautiful There There and Sail to the Moon.
Unfortunately, it suffers the worst from the pretentiousness that's been present in every post The Bends album. Ridiculously subtitled songs and the continuous yapping about climate change(just about on every track)can be quite irritating.
4. The Doors - The Doors
(https://castlevaniadungeon.net/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fupload.wikimedia.org%2Fwikipedia%2Fen%2F9%2F98%2FTheDoorsTheDoorsalbumcover.jpg&hash=e7baacef48934accfe006286e05ad031)
This album was a huge influence on Rock and Roll and its not hard to see why. It features everything from the energetically charged Break On Through to the surreal, chaotic "The End".
3. Sgt Pepper's
(https://castlevaniadungeon.net/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fupload.wikimedia.org%2Fwikipedia%2Fen%2F6%2F67%2FPepper%2527s.jpg&hash=d8b989cde286243e69ac0267f6ff8485)
This album broke all kinds of ground when it was first released, but unfortunately having not been around then I cannot comment on that...
What I will say is that just about every track in the album is a winner. A Day in the Life, in particular, is a fantastic climax.
2. Me Against the World
(https://castlevaniadungeon.net/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimages.amazon.com%2Fimages%2FP%2FB000003AEK.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg&hash=3ab27f835f750b44423a0853bf3476ba)
Back when I was 16 I used to listen to nothing but 2pac. While since then I have embraced different styles of music, 'Pac's stuff still holds a place in my heart. And none more than this masterpiece.
There's something very real about this album, the way each track contrasts with the preceding one. The hope and faith in songs like Young Niggaz and Me Against the World are almost a response to the desperation and paranoia of If I Die Tonight and Death Around the Corner. A lot of people dismiss 2pac as just another braindead hip-hop drone, but if they put their prejudices aside they would discover that few could convey human emotions into music as well as Tupac did.
1. OK Computer
(https://castlevaniadungeon.net/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.merryswankster.com%2Fimages%2FRadiohead_OK_Computer_large.jpg&hash=6857b57baf4e35d883c7062440aaf05e)
It's quite a credit to the other songs that despite the inclusion of the oh so pretentious "Fitter, Happier" the album still manages to be so awesome.
The sounds on each song differ so much, yet they all compliment each other so bloody brilliantly. Airbag and Paranoid Android are genre defining tracks, I can't even begin to describe them. It's hard to believe that Exit Music was originally made for a movie. And The Tourist is personally my favourite closing song.
If you haven't listened to OK Computer yet you are missing out on the best album EVAR.
-
I can't make a toplist either. I'll mention just a few artists I like past/current that spring to mind.
- Severed Heads
(never been fond of the mindfuck side, but Ellard's pop sensibility was the tits. What can I say, I'm a Sev head)
- Absolute Body Control
(belgian favorites alongside Front 242. obviously different than later Klinik but I still like the old stuff better)
- Doris Norton
(chick played keyboards in occult italian prog band Jacula before releasing cerebral electro in the early 80s)
- Heldon
(Primitive electronics. The very definition of cybernetics. I'm not surprised to still listen to it from time to time.
- Clock DVA (Buried Dreams)
(Had only been exposed to their early career for years. Finally heard this album some weeks ago. Jeffrey Dahmer was supposedly listening to this record when police arrested him. Fittingly, it's dark in sound and production, but not unlike anything that had been done by 1989)

I don't really have a top 5, but I will state that my two favorite albums are Dark Side of the Moon (Pink Floyd
:)

1. Days of the New - Green
hell fuckin yes! Thats my number one as well. Theres not one thing not ONE thing Id change about this entire album. Ive listened to this cd so many times in so many places Ive had to buy it 3 times and make countless burns.
A lot of things can be said about him and how he treated his bandmates that went on to form Tantric but this was either his 1st or 2nd album solo and it speaks volumes.
I can quite literally put it on repeat and listen to it all day long and never tire of it.
That said my top 5 are:
1. Days of The New - Green Album
2. Crash - Dave Matthews Band
3. Under The Table and Dreaming - Dave Matthews Band
4. John Mayer - Room for Squares
5. tie for Legend of Zelda OOT original soundtrack and Mary Poppins soundtrack.

In no particular order (they're all equally awesome and perfect):
-"Weird Al" Yankovic - UHF (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack... and Other Stuff)
-Lucia - From the Land of Volcanos
-Garbage - Version 2.0
-Alabama - Roll On
-KMFDM - Nihil
There ARE plenty of other albums in my collection that could make the list also, but since you asked for five, there you go. It all depends on my mood of which is my favorite. Great runners up are:
-Dracula X: The Circle of Blood
-Eddie Rabbitt - Rabbitt Traxx
-Jewel - This Way
-Aerosmith - Nine Lives
-MDFMK - MDFMK
-Rascal Flatts - Feels Like Today
-Cledus T. Judd - Just Another Day in Parodies
-Evanescence - Origin
-KGC - Dirty Bomb
...I'm sure there's some I'm missing. :P
-
I've probably asked you this before, elbryan, but have you heard Chemlab? Since you like KMFDM's industrial metal stuff (Nihil is indeed a stellar album), you might enjoy them. East Side Militia is one of my top favorite albums, and Burn Out at the Hydrogen Bar is great as well. You can download tracks from both here (http://hydrogenbar.com/sounds.html). It's my opinion that "Suicide Jag" is the greatest industrial metal tune ever recorded.
-
You've asked me, I believe. I hadn't really listened back then, and sadly, I have yet to get around to listening to them since. I'll download some tonight. I'll let you know. :P
My musical tastes are quite varied. I dunno, the music I listen to is more than sound, it's feeling. It almost breathes somehow, or else it kinda just doesn't catch my ear. But you never know until you listen huh? ;)
-
Wow... it's really hard to choose, as I tend to cycle them around.
At any point it could be
Queen - Queen, Queen II, A Day At The Races, A Night At The Opera, or Jazz
The Beatles - The White Album
Styx - The Grand Illusion
Garbage - Garbage, and Gv2.0, (and select songs from Beautiful and Bleed Like Me)
And, honest to God, Milla Jovovich - Divine Comedy
-
Americana by The Offspring:
This album is just perfect in every way
Walls of Jericho by Helloween(extended version remastered):
I always have a copy of this in my truck. Keeps me pumped and my attention levels high. Great songs too.
Once by Nightwish:
Tons of music sound variety here, a few epics, and a nice quiet ending. Every song is placed perfectly
Sigh No More by Gamma Ray(special remastered edition w/ bonus tracks):
great songs, excellent catchy style, powerful singer, and the pre-production version of Dream Healer is one of the greatest things on the planet
Slave to the Grind by Skid Row:
What's not to love
-
Odd, not a lot of metalheads in here. The albums I'm currently listening to are:
-Dark Tranquility - Fiction
-In Flames - Come Clarity
-Meshuggah - Destroy, Erase, Improve
-Pantera - Far Beyond Driven
-Iron Maiden - Best of the Beast

I'll post one for the moment.
Probably one of my top 3 favorites.
New Order - Power, Corruption & Lies.

Blue Monday is the shizzney! (And so is Age Of Consent!!)
-
I hate that on the CD version of Power, Corruption & Lies they threw "Blue Monday" in the middle of the album. It was never part of the album, it was a single. :P When I ripped the CD to put on my iPod, I put the song as track 9, just before "The Beach" (which is its original B-side), so they can be considered bonus tracks. The album honestly sounds so much better when it goes straight from "5 8 6" to "Your Silent Face" (just as The Cure's Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me sounds better with "Hey You!!!" reinserted).
