Top Ten Albums

[dholliday]

Ooo, it's like Melvins. Yes.

Magma can be heavy as hell. They tend to have more metal followers than jazz or prog fans.

See also the tastefully named Slag Tanz piece:




Hard to put a genre to it, but avant-garde metal symphony is probably not far off.

I remember that one. I took Gretchen as the album and Raspberry Jam Delta V as the song. Still correct.

Better left-handed compliment than I can ever hand out, and I tried during twenty years of Hell.

One of my gf 's favourite films, the music fits so will with it

Out of all of them, I’d say Talk Talk’s the colour of spring is my favourite. It’s a work of art IMO.

Although Im not sure how you pick between that and Spirit of Eden

 

[Mutzo Nutzo]

I know - it’s difficult. Both fantastic albums. For me personally TT we’re on a musical journey that ultimately led to Spirit of Eden however as a fan of their early stuff, I found that Colours of Spring had a perfect balance of their earlier sound as well as their new developing sound.

 

[Eggs]

…here’s some off the top of my head but in no particular order;

Bridge over Troubled Water (Simon & Garfunkel)
Rumours (Fleetwood Mac)
Pet Sounds (Beach Boys)
Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (Elton John)
The River (Springsteen)
No Secrets (Carly Simon)
Please, Please Me (Beatles)

 

[overkill]

@Martin Alvito I must have similar taste, most your top albums I really like.

For me

1) Blue Oyster Cult - Secret Treaties
2) Pink Floyd - The Wall
3) Metallica - An Justice For All
4) Dark Tranquillity - The Gallery
5) Opeth - Still Life
6) Megadeth - Peace Sells
7) Queensryche - Operation Mindcrime
8) Exodus - Tempo of the Damned
9) Anthrax - Among The Living
10) Kiss - Kiss

Like any top 10 list, especially in music there are many other albums were dam close to going in my top 10, or could do on another day when I'm feeling different.

 

[Baines' left foot]

Those last two = classic rap albums. ATCQ released three literally flawless albums in a row.

It was very hard to pick just one.

It's a huge shame Big L wasn't able to make more music, too.

Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory
Simple Minds - New Gold Dream
Depeche Mode - Songs of Faith & Devotion
Talk Talk - The colour of Spring
Joy Division - Closer
Amy Winehouse - Back to Black
David Bowie - Hunky Dory
Prefab Sprout - Steve Mcqueen
Jamie XX - In Colour
Foals - What Went Down

Hybrid Theory is a great one. I remember buying the Crawling single on CD (remember those days eh?) and I was blown away by the B-side, Papercut. I still prefer this version.



Also, In Colour is an interesting one. Girl is one of my all time favourite songs.

I saw Jamie XX live at Reading a few years ago and he was superb. I had a euphoric moment whilst stoned as heck when Loud Places came on.
