Greatest Album Ever

[King Richard]

Thoth-Amon and I were talking on msn one night, about music naturally, and he said something that kind of caught me off guard. He said, "Master of Puppets is the greatest album ever."

At first glance I read it as, greatest metal album ever, but after I read it again I sat back in my chair and said, "hmm."

Now, I'm not making this thread to argue his opinion. Instead I want you to list 1 album that you think is the best album ever created and why.

Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon, Psychotic Waltz's Into the Everflow & King Crimson's In the Court of the Crimson King (despite the boring 'Moonchild') all share top spot for me, though I change my mind constantly. Perhaps Ulver's Bergtatt too...

I'm not a huge fan of The Wall to be honest, I think a lot of it is filler. Sorry Ozzman.

 

[The Ozzman]

I hate how people say most of The Wall is filler when it GOES ALONG WITH THE FUCKING STORY

What the fuck

 

[Matt]

Just because it goes along with the story doesn't mean the music has to be good. And it's not (compared to their other stuff)

[Vegard Pompey]

Err... You're basically asking the hardest question ever.

Awake? Seventh Son of a Seventh Son? Imaginary Sonicscape? The Sham Mirrors?

The whole is greater than the sum of its parts, tbh. It's still a great fucking album with a great fucking story. Animals comes damn close though.

 

[Vitor]

the wall is very boring.

operation:mindcrime is much better

 

[The Ozzman]

A unique concept album which speaks about music being banned, Scientology, Appliance fetishes and much more. Way ahead of its time in terms of satirical content and social commentary

 

[Blind Guardian]

Because it´s able to keep me focused on the music each and every second the record lasts.

[entanglement]

Either 'Dark Side of the Moon', 'The Wall', or 'OK Computer'.

 

[King Richard]

I don't see any reasons why you think these are your favorite. That was supposed to be the biggest part of this thread, not pictures of the albums.

every song is a timeless classic.

"Subterranean Homesick Blues" – 2:21
"She Belongs to Me" – 2:47
"Maggie's Farm" – 3:54
"Love Minus Zero/No Limit" – 2:51
"Outlaw Blues" – 3:05
"On the Road Again"– 2:35
"Bob Dylan's 115th Dream"– 6:30

Side two
"Mr. Tambourine Man" – 5:30
"Gates Of Eden" – 5:40
"It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)" – 7:29
"It's All Over Now, Baby Blue" – 4:12

it's hard to be the best bob dylan album but this one takes the cake. one side is bob electric and side two is accoustic. the outtakes from this album would even make another incredible album. the poetic lyrics are absolutely breathtaking and i think for originality alone this stands above the rest as dylan's true masterpiece.

Uh, it rules. 'nuff said.

Black Sabbath- Black Sabbath

Without it, this board wouldn't exist, because our music wouldn't exist.

 

[Tonka Time]

Black Sabbath- Black Sabbath

Without it, this board wouldn't exist, because our music wouldn't exist.

yes it would, someone else would have made a heavy album it was just a matter of time.
its not like it absolutly had to be black sabbath.

 

[seedofvengeance]

The point is no one else did. Black Sabbath did... you don't know that someone else would have come up with it.
