STREETS! One of the all-time great albums ever recorded... even though I'm not a big fan of the title track :)

"Believe" is also one of the all-time great songs ever recorded. Same with most of the other songs on the album!

STREEEEEEEEEEEEEEETS :rock: :rock: :rock:
 
You should have mentioned "Dead Winter Dead" and "Wake of Magellan" as well, Spawny. Not "Poets & Madmen", though, I still haven't listened to that all the way through... strange, considering I'm a big fan of Jon's vocals.
 
I was going to put Wake Of Magellan, I didnt think anyone would have it though :rock: Poets isnt very good IMHO.....
 
Which Nevermore album is the story about some guy's wife dying and him going insane? Except for the dying part, this sounds like what happens every time I meet someone of the female persuasion who's even faintly interesting :lol:. Methinks I should give it a listen.

Dreaming Neon Black, but its nothing to do with that :lol:
Its about a woman Warrel was seeing who joined a cult and then went missing (presumed dead) and Warrel had nightmares and stuff about it. Thats the short version anyway :)
 
Chemical Wedding was a concept album???

But yeah, Operation Mindcrime of course. I'd have to choose that, even though I'm an Opeth fag :D
 
THEMATIC! :) The concept was an album of songs about monsters. Except Ghost Of Freedom..... :)
 
But the CONCEPT was an album with songs about monsters!
The concept of Chemical Wedding was an album of songs about William Blakes poetry!
 
well i vote Ocean Machine-Biomech,cos the CONCEPT of that album is what the ocean would sound like if put to music by Devy.

I can also vote Fantomas-Directors cut,cos the CONCEPT of that was a whole cd full of movie theme songs.
