Walrus, hippo, cat-dog, rice, turtle, done.

This is almost like a 'What's your favorite album' thread, but - in the twinkle of my mind's eye - I see it as a more expansive collection of great albums. It's also rather collaborative, don't ya thunk?

The play of the field is that we - the people - add our own preferences to the list, so the end result is a collection of 500-odd albums for people to adore.

Letmebreakitdown...

No.) 'Album Name' - Artist (Favorite song from the album)

...Brief description on why it's the cheese's pickle.

In the bikini, there was pertness and it was good...

(These are in - posted - chronological order, by the by...)

1) 'Learn Yourself' - The Beautiful Girls (Music)

...Super chilled, smooth acoustic flows.

2) 'Amos Lee' - Amos Lee (Keep it Loose, Keep It Tight)

...Do you have a soul? If you like this, then you do.

3) 'The Bends' - Radiohead (High And Dry)

...Ahhhh, how could were they when they wrote tunes?

4) 'Fast Cars, Danger, Fire & Knives' - Aesop Rock (Food, Clothes, Medicine)

...Sick beats and skunky lyrics.

Begin...

5) 'Mr Bungle' - Mr Bungle (Pink Cigarette)

...Possibly the greatest album ever; certainly the most imaginative.

6) 'Labor Days' - Aesop Rock (Save Yourself) (could definitely be argued)

...Aesop's best album hands down, float comin up after that. awesome production by el-p, worth checkin out if you haven't.

7) Lateralus by Tool (The Patient).

A mainstay choice as one of my favourite albums of all time, one of the best ever.

Labor Days was produced by Blockhead and Aes.

8) Cannibal Ox - The Cold Vein (Iron Galaxy)

Obvious choice. Probably the best hip-hop album in existence. Vast Aire's poetry provokes every emotion under the sun, and El-P creates what can only be described as a beautifully horrible soundscape. Takes your head to another dimension. I got it almost 2 years ago, and it still gets regular play.

That's an amazing album ^^^.

-AC

9. Thriller - Michael "GOAT" Jackson (the girl is mine) - im disgusted none of yall mentioned this before me

10. Illmatic - Nas (the world is yours) - since deathblow already used "best hiphop album" i guess ill (have to) say this brought the EC back on the map. and yeah, it's a masterpiece. EC's pride and glory.

11. OBCL4L - Raekwon the Chef (verbal intercourse) - need i comment?

uno

12) Lamb of God - Ashes of the Wake (One Gun)

Modern Metal Masterpiece.

13) Heaven Shall Burn - Antigone (Not My God)

Quite unheard of band in america, but the devastating riffs combined with the incredible vocals from Marcus Bischoff, make this one of the best Melodic Death metal albums of all time.

P.S nice thread! but i doubt it will get to 500

14) 36 Chambers of Wu-Tang - Wu-Tang Clan(C.R.E.A.M.)

It's a classic

15) A Tribe Called Quest- The Low End Theory (check the rhyme)

does it really need an explanation?

16) Binary Star- Masters of the Universe

Godlike album in my opinion.

Use your illusions I&II-guns n' roses
very varied mix of songs. showed what the band can do

16)Ten-Pearl Jam.

First class album from the best Grunge band ever

17: august and everything after counting crows

their debut and there darkest album, haunting songs such as ghost train and sullivan street combined with more highlighted murder of one and rain king

will always be in my favourite albums list...i love it

i always thought el-p did it, good production none the less.

18) Common Sense - Resurrection (I Used To Love H.E.R.)

Wasn't just Common at his best. It was Hip-Hop at its best.

19) cunninlynguists - will rap for food

i can listen to this album for days straight.

20) '40oz To Freedom' - Sublime (Bad Fish)

...a great mix of many different genres - dub, ska, reggae, rock, punk and chilled -out acoustic.

...Possibly the greatest album ever; certainly the most imaginative.

Apologies, favourite track is Carousel.

Pink Cigarette is from California by Mr Bungle, which is the album I put at first.

21) sticky fingaz - black trash: the autobiography of kirk jones

first concept album i ever heard, showed me how great they could be. only a few have done it as well as this one.

22) prince paul - prince among thieves

had to put this here, since i mentioned great concept albums.

23) Rammstein - Sehnsucht (Sehnsucht)

Best album from this unique sounding band, also best sounding album production wise imo.

24) Metallica - Master of Puppets (Master of Puppets)

Obvious...

25)Neil Perry - Lineage situation (Fading away like the rest of them)

purely because it's 40 tracks of the best screamo you're ever gonna hear...

26) masta ace - disposable arts

adding to the list of classic concept albums.

27) Refused - A Shape of Punk To Come (Worms of the Senses + Faculties of the Skull)

This is just good music. I'm not even of big fan of this heavy screaming music but i just couldn't resist this sound. This is real punk i guess.

if you have time, could you upload this. i have not heard it. i've only heard the Onyx group albums.

Blackalicious - Blazing Arrow.
Incredible lyrics and flows by Gab, outstanding production from Excel. You cant help feeling better about life after hearing this album.

no problem, hes the best guy from onyx imo.

to upload a whole album i put it in a folder and then zip it, then put it yousendit, right?

that was gonna be my next choice... even the song

29) Pantera - Cowboys From Hell

Debut (and best) album from the greatest thrash band of all time.

30) Pantera - The Great Southern Tredkill

The song 'Floods' is enough to make any album epic, but this album has great songs backing 'Floods' up, like 'suicide note pt. 2' and 'living through me'.

31) Biggy - Ready To Die (Warning)
Biggy has amazing story telling on this cd

32) Cage - Hell's Winter (Shoot Frank)

Tied with Zion I & Dredg as best album of '05. I've never heard any artist, hip-hop or otherwise, mature so much in the space of just one album.

Tied with Zion I & Dredg as best album of '05. I've never heard any artist, hip-hop or otherwise, mature so much in the space of just one album. i kinda disagree. i didn't really like the album. maybe cuz im not a Cage fan.

33) At the Drive-In---> Relationship of Command

good album ^^^

34) atmosphere - overcast!

just listened to this for the first time today, and i just got all my respect back for them, ive been sick of slug for a long time.

35) Jawbreaker----> Dear You

36) 'Donovan Frankenreiter' - Donovan Frankenreiter (It Don't Matter)

...perfect post-surf, blissed-out mellowness.

37) 'The Tipping Point' - The Roots (Stay Cool)

..."Stay cool muddafuccckers, y'all know da rules" - hip-hop with a message.

38) 'Damnation' - Opeth (To Rid the Disease)

Not many other albums utilise the concept of beauty in music, and successfully sustain it across the entire album.

39) O.C. - Word...Life (Born 2 Live)

classic debut from this guy, his best album in my opinion.

40.) The Who----> Tommy

41) The Smiths - Louder than Bombs (Please, please, please, let me get what I want)

It has some of the greatest songs of the Smiths on it and is just all in all awesome.

42) 'Audioslave' - Audioslave (I Am The Highway)

...I'm a recent convert, but this album is rockin' awesome, duuude. Music to drive to...

43) Aphex Twin- Richard D. James Album (Girl/Boy Song)

Eerily beautiful with some of the most frantic drum beats ever created.

If we're gonna talk about electronic shizzle...

44) Fluke - Risotto (Kitten Moon)

Fluent, hypnotic music that somehow disturbs and relaxes in equal measures. Can both help lull you to sleep, and be blazed out of the car stereo whilst speeding into the city. Only as ambient, or as intrusive as you want it to be.

45)Danger Doom - Mf Doom (Bada Bing)

It's fun to listen to and Danger's beats are great

46.) The Clash----> London Calling

47) 'The Real Thing' - Faith No More (Epic)

...An album any self-respecting music fan should own.

48) vakill - darkest cloud

one of my favourite emcees, dope debut album. i can up any of the albums ive posted in this thread if anyone wants them just say the word.

49.) Green Day-----> Kerplunk!

50) Eyedea- The many faces of Oliver Hart (Step by Step)

Welcome.

Anyone think there's too much hip-hop?

nope, it's what the people chose... can't be too much if people chose it

51) Megadeth - Rust in Peace (Hangar 18)

Thrash with great sense of melody, vocals that fit the music perfectly, and excellent solos.

52) Blur - Parklife (Magic America)

The best 90's britpop album, with all kinds of influences ranging from new-wave, to disco and punk, making for a listen that doesn't get boring for a second.

there can never be too much hip hop. and believe me, theres gonna be a lot more.

53) The Mars Volta - De-Loused in the Comatorium
No other band can make me move like this band does. One of the best musical experiences ever, free your soul with this album.

Ooo, that's a good choice. I like your style in not picking the obvious tracks, too. Most of the stuff that came out during the Britpop period sounds like a bad joke now, but that album endures.

As fo' dat hip-hop thong: I'm down wid da street'z beatz, but spice is the variety of life. Or sumthang...

54) The Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness (Ode to no one)

55) Nine Inch Nails - Pretty Hate Machine (Sin)

56) The White Stripes - White Blood Cells ( I Can't Wait)

57) Bush - Sixteen Stone (Everything Zen)

58) Nirvana - In Utero (Scentless Apprentice)

59) Sublime - 40oz. To Freedom (54-46 That's My Number/ Ball and Chain)

60) Common - BE (Faithful and/or Go)

Originally posted by Pezmerga

Dat's already on da list, yo.

60) Queens of the Stone Age - Songs for the Deaf (God is in the Radio)

This album has a great flow to it, with a great variety between heavy and catchy songs. Some thunderous drumming from mr. Grohl also.
Arguably the Queens' strongest effort.

61) Morrissey - World of Morrissey (Jack the Ripper)

62) Flotsam and Jetsam - Doomsday for the Deceiver (Hammerhead)

Classic debut from this underrated thrash band. The only record featuring Jason Newsted on bass, who's also the prime lyricist here, making for some good lyrics, as well as some humour, which is quite rare in this genre. The vocals may take some getting used to, but ive grown to like em.

63) Stone Temple Pilots - Purple (Interstate Love Song)

64) Neil Young - Greatest Hits (After the Goldrush )

Caquse it has Neil Youngs Greatest Hits on it, including "Heart Of Gold", "Old Man", "Rocking in the Free World" ....."I'm the Ocean" is missing though.

Massive Attack - Mezzanine (Dissolved Girl)

Just a darkly wonderful musical journey. One of those albums that can be appreciated by almost any kind of listener.

66) Rikk Agnew-All By Myself (One Shot)

It's realy hard to put a finger on why this album is so damn incredible but it just is.

67.) At the Drive-In----> Vaya

68.) AC/DC----> High Voltage

69.) The Who----> Who's Next?

70) TSOL-Dance with Me (Silent Scream)

A punk album that sounds almost like Zepp at times.

That's a great album: Experimental, exciting AND listenable! I'd go for the obvious 'Teardrop' as best song though...

71) Operation Ivy-Energy
there only realease

72) Rancin-And Out Came The Wolves
Maxwell murder... is quite good.

73) gangstarr - the ownerz

easily my favourite gangstarr album, premier comin with the beats, and guru is sick as always.

74) Metallica-Ride the Lightning
75) Senses Fail-Let It Enfold You

76) Coltrane - A Love Supreme

4 near flawless tracks... very soulful, very emotional. relatively easy to enjoy without being any sorta jazz scholar.

Gonna have to add my new favorite singer's debut album...

'Mishka' - Mishka (Out The Door)

If you like acoustic guitar with simply beautiful tunes...give him a try. All the tracks are excellent, but 'Out The Door' is perfect. Listen to it and I'm sure you'll agree.

Marvin Gaye - Inner City Blues (sexual healing)

marvin is my hero for real... pure talent plus he's ahead of his time. Sexual Healing is the best ballad ever in my honest opinion and definitely the best 'make-love' song created by man.

Oh hell yes, thats a classic! Risingson is my favourite on that album.

78) J-Live - All of the above. This guy is one of the most creative emcees you could have the fortune of hearing. Beautiful production and lyrics that make you think, what else can you ask for?

79) Portishead-Dummy. I cant believe this one hasnt been brought up yet, great for any mood. Postishead at their best, no skip tracks on this one.

80) Bob Marley-Legend. Yes i know its a best of album but the man had just too many great songs over the years. This album is a must for any music lover. Redemption song will leave you with a lump in your throat.

Dude, I recommend that you check out Mishka's first album. If 'Redemption Song' does it for you, then this whole album will too. It's that good.

Done and done. Cheers man.

Both would've been my choices too


81) Radiohead - OK Computer (Paranoid Android)

Obvious one really, but the fact that this album actually lives up to the ridiculous amount of hype and critical acclaim it was given proves it's special. Plus it was probably the most important album of the 90's.

Joe Strummer and The Mascaleros----> Streetcore

Indeed, it is a great album, and Paranoid Android is a great song, but I love the way the guitars/drums on 'Karma Police' sound like they are being sucked backwards. Too cool.

83) Hendrix - Electric Ladyland (Voodoo Chile)

the idea behind that song is so great, it'd be like having our very own superhero

Phat J, I definately agree with you on the subject of Black Trash... this album is straight up genius, but I'm not gonna pick the same one as you so...

84 - Sticky Fingaz - Decade (Suicide Letter)
This album really showcases te writing and rapping talent of a REAL rapper.
85 - Thin Lizzy - Jailbreak (Jailbreak)
This CD is perfect for good party tunes or just cruisin'!

86.) Stevie Wonder - Innervisions (golden lady)

need i even say anything? this one's a masterpiece...

87) John Butler Trio - Sunrise over sea. Dont see many people talking about them here but this is a great album in all aspects.

88) Morcheeba - Big Calm - Probably my fav chill out album, Skye Edwards voice is as smooth as silk.

^ I sense another trip-hop junkie droolio

We've had all the big four now, apart from one:


89) Tricky - Maxinquaye (You Don't)

One of the most talented individuals alive, Tricky crafted something completely diverse and wonderful on his debut. Like Mezzanine, dark but strangely uplifting.

Originally posted by Deathblow
^ I sense another trip-hop junkie droolio

You would be correct sir.

Originally posted by Deathblow
89) Tricky - Maxinquaye (You Don't)

'Maxiniquaye' is sweetest, but this is still sweet...

90) 'Blow-back' - Tricky ('Something in the Way')

Dope cover of a Nirvana tune.

i dont know if this have been mentioned, but it's a must!

91) Gza- Liquid Swords
92) Archive- Londinium

93) Jets to Brazil-----> Four Cornered Night

94) artifacts - between a rock and a hard place

95) Christopher O'Riley - true love waits: Christopher O'Riley Plays Radiohead (Black Star)

VVD suggested it to me. It's basically some Radiohead songs played with Piano and not only does it sound very similar to the actual songs but I think in parts it even sounds better. Very advisable.

96) Nevermind the bollocks- Sex Pistolls

97) Urban Hymns- The Verve

98. BIG COUNTRY - The Crossing

99. THE KINKS - One For The Road

100. THE SKIDS - Into The Valley

101 - ENDTRODUCING - DJ Shadow

An amazing piece of emotive music that I think can be appreciated by anyone regardless of what their favourite style of music is.

102. MIKE OLDFIELD - Amarok

An album that no one has to like, but just appreciate the work done by this man
who also wrote the opening theme to THE EXCORSIST, before the movie was made.

This album is probabley for someone who is openminnded, or a musician's musician.

103. Cake-Fashion Nugget (The Distance)

My all time favorite album. To be able to incorporate such different genres such as funk, pop, jazz, rock, country, rap in their music and not sound even a tiny bit forced is amazing.

104. Eels - Electro-Shock Blues

Kind of hard to pick one Eels album, and I'll probably post another at some point in this thread. An album about dying, death and loss, it is desperately sad, but he plays it all through subtle, pseudo-cheery music. An understated masterpiece.

105. Sunrise Over Sea - John Butler Trio

A jam-band splashed with the salt of the sea. They're like Dave Matthews Band without all the show-off trumpets and (recent) dullness. I like them best when they go all acoustic on my ass. 'Peaches And Cream' is my favorite tune at the moment. It's sweet, soulful and ultimately optimistic.

106) Herbie Hancock - HeadHunters

Extremely fun album.. basically just four long instrumental electro funk/jazz tracks, each one catchy as hell and strangely familiar.

107. Tragic Kingdom- No Doubt

108. Core-STP

109. Dark Side of the Moon- Pink Floyd

110. Love, Angel, Music, Baby- Gwen Stefani

aaand i wanna mention the Garden State Soundtrack (but soundtracks and greatest hits shouldnt count)

Great choice, and amazing album!

Since we're on that Jazz vibe...

111. Dave Brubeck Quartet- The Great Concerts (Take Five)

After seeing him in concert still kicking it in his eighties, I've become a fan. This concert was recorded back in the Quartet's prime in the late 50's. It's simply a great jazz album with some very irregular time signatures.

112. DAVE DAVIES - Unfinished Business: Anthology

http://kinks.it.rit.edu/lyrics/comps/lrg-dd-anthology.jpg

THE MOVE - Shazam

http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/P/B0000087GF.01._SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg

This album from 1970 will screw-up your head so much, you'll have to book into "Cherry Blossom Clinic". Then be kept in a bed.

Funkadelic - Maggot Brain

Essential funk from the early 70's. Great guitar work; addictive riffs and psychedelic leads as well as powerful funk vocals and even good lyrics.

my bad

it's all good

130) Mobb Deep - Infamous (Shook Ones, Pt. II)
-one of my all time favorite hip-hop albums, it captures a dark mood and conveys vivid experiences from the streets

thumbup^

unfortunatley the new mobb deep album is terrible

131.) Main Source - Breaking Atoms (Watch Roger Do His Thing)

Too often forgotton when people talk about classic hip-hop records. Perfect production, smooth flows from Large Prof, and a fantastic verse from a very young, pre-Illmatic Nas. Not a single weak track.

132) Pixies - Doolittle (Debaser)
-Pixies' influence on modern alternative music is unparalleled. this album is their finest achievement.

133. "son of evil reindeer" by the reindeer section

-if ya like belle and sebastion, arab strap, etc...you'll love this.

134) Once Again - John Legend (Save Room)

In time it will be recognised as a classic.

135) The Weakerthans - Left and Leaving

136) Operation Ivy - Energy (Bad Town)

Just a fantastic record. Ska at its finest


137) Protest the Hero - Kezia

The best metal/hardcore album in a long time. Intense and epic.
