Top 35 albums of all time thread

[Greeno]

4.The Doors - Waiting for the sun
5.The Doors - Soft Parade

22.Rolling Stones - Hot Rocks(Greatest Hits)

25.Winger - Pull

33.Motley Crue - Girls Girls Girls

Cool, would not have thought you would list the Doors and Stones. Winger and Crue caught me off guard... hahaha... I've never Pull, will have to give it a listen some time.

 

[Greeno]

Bad Brains-I Against I

The Misfits-Walk Among Us

Right on! Those both made my list also.

 

[Greeno]

NWA - Straight Outta Compton

SHERYL CROW - Tuesday Night Music Club - this is before she got all bleeding heart

that NWA disc is the only rap album I have in my collection. I love that shit.

I really dug S Crow for a few years. Her "Globe Sessions" album is my favorite but her music has not aged well.

 

[Wicked Child]

Right on! Those both made my list also.

Of course, man! Those albums RULE! What are your favorite songs off of them?

 

[Greeno]

Of course, man! Those albums RULE! What are your favorite songs off of them?

To be honest I don't think there is a bad song on either album!! But off of I Against I it would be Re-ignition and from Walk Among Us it would be Skulls.

What's the song on I Against I with the telephone vocals (Secret 77)? Did you know tht HR had to phone those vocals in from jail? ...hahahaha... he was literally in jail and they had to finish the album so he did that song from the pokey.

4) Judas Priest - "Defenders of The Fight"
...

I must have missed this one!!

 

[SoundMaster]

The top 5 ARE in order. The remainder are not:



1) Black Sabbath - Heaven and Hell. In my view, the best thing ever recorded.

2) My Dying Bride - Turn Loose the Swans. True progressive metal.

3) Ayreon - The Human Equation. I've only had this for about one month. It's that good.

4) Led Zeppelin - Physical Grafitti. "In My Time Of Dying" is the heaviest thing ever records, IMO.

5) Iron Maiden - Somewhere in Time. Sure, the earlier records are more popular, but every note of every song here is perfect! And the album has a tremendous atmosphere.

Black Sabbath - Sabotage
Iron Maiden - Piece of Mind
In the Woods - Omnio
Rolling Stones - Sticky Fingers
Savatage - Gutter Ballet

To be honest I don't think there is a bad song on either album!! But off of I Against I it would be Re-ignition and from Walk Among Us it would be Skulls.

What's the song on I Against I with the telephone vocals (Secret 77)? Did you know tht HR had to phone those vocals in from jail? ...hahahaha... he was literally in jail and they had to finish the album so he did that song from the pokey.

yeh, i heard about that! That's "Sacred Love", you're talking about. Track 8. All the songs off of both albums are great, but i must say, off of I Against I, my faves are the punkstastic title track and awesome "Secret 77", and off of Walk Among Us..."All Hell Breaks Loose" and "I Turned Into A Martian". Oh. Hell. Yes.

If I would have to name about 30 which have been the most important albums in heavy metal I'd have quite a different list though I tihnk, or is this not the purpose of this topic?
