Ok so I had this Idea to creat a list of all the great bands/Records. The purpose of this is so that if someone wanted to hear a band for the first time they could come here and find the best record by that band.

For Instance for Nirvana, I would have to say Nevermind just because that is the Basic popular Nirvana sound.
Now please only one record per Band! try to pick the best one.

Nine Inch Nails: The Downward Spiral

Days of the New: Green

-Smitten Kitten-

hard fu**ing song- tenatious d/t

Incubus: A Crow Left of the Murder (IMO, though I know a lot of people who think S.C.I.E.N.C.E is better)

Tool: Lateralus

Green Day: Nimrod

I would venture to say that Aenima is more of the definitive Tool album than Lateralus. Or Undertow.

-Smitten Kitten-

Yeah you're probably right but Lateralus is my favorite... I know what you mean though.

All the way. One of my favourite albums of all time, not only by tool.

Parabol/Parabola is just so amazing, as is Schism.

Opeth - Orchid <<<<<people really should check this out, its amazing.

Deftones - Around The Fur <<<<<<just generally brilliant

In Flames - The Jester Race <<<<<<<best album from an excellent band

I think you guys are missing the point... The point is to pick one album from each band, the one that best represents their style and such. And if somebody's already said a different album by that same band, don't give another one...

Or maybe give a good reason why your album is better

Some people are listing multiple albums by the same band though..

I missed the point

Baring the point in mind:

Opeth - Orchid
Avenged Sevenfold - Sounding The Seventh Trumpet
Nine Inch Nails - Pretty Hate Machine
Tool - Aenima
System Of A Down - System Of A Down
In Flames - The Jester Race
Deftones - Around The Fur
A Perfect Circle - Mer De Noms
Korn - Korn
Sepultura - Chaos AD
Glassjaw - Worship And Tribute
Metallica - Ride The Lightning
Eucharist - Mirrorworlds
Slayer - Show No Mercy
Led Zeppelin - Houses Of The Holy
Morbid Angel - Blessed Are The Sick
Seether - Disclaimer
Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon
Rage Against The Machine - Evil Empire
Killswitch Engage - Alive Or Just Breathing
Static X - Wisconsin Death Trip
Eels - Beautiful Freak
Nirvana - In Utero
Lacuna Coil - In A Reverie

I must disagree
I think that Metallica's Black album is better than Ride the Lightning.
