So after a 5 hour drive today I made a list of the top 5 albums I would choose if I could listen to nothing else for the rest of my life. My choices are as follows:

The Chemical Brothers - Surrender
Stone Roses - Stone Roses

There are some others that come so close to being in there its untrue...but I think this would be my perfect list...

Others that got really close:

Kasabian - West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylam
Foo Fighters - There is nothing else to lose
Eminem - The Marshall Mathers EP

Autechre - Tri Repetea

Anyway - post your top 5

Rammstein - Mutter
Opeth - Blackwater Park

there's no point mentioning runner ups, there's too many to mention

[phantasmagoria]

A Pefect Circle - Mer de noms

Really? I always preferred thirteenth step.

[seremtan]

* Beethoven: Hammerklavier Sonata
* Beethoven: Diabelli Variations
* Beethoven: C# minor quartet Op 131
* Mahler: Das Lied von der Erde

and lots of also-rans

[axbaby]

Alice Cooper - Welcome to my Nightmare
Queen -Greatest Hits
Devo- Are We Not Men
Erasure-The Circus

[xer0s]

A Pefect Circle - Mer de noms

Really? I always preferred thirteenth step.

That's why it's his list and not yours. Just sayin...

I couldn't possibly narrow it down to a top five...

[Big Kahuna Burger]

The Beatles - White Album
John Coltrane - Giant Steps
Oscar Peterson Trio - We Get Requests
Elvis Costello - My Aim Is True
Steely Dan - Aja

[scared?]

lots of morons in this thread...

[werldhed]

Oooh... This is a tough one.

I'd probably say these are the definite top 3:
Live - Secret Samadhi
Pearl Jam - Yield
dredg - El Cielo

Then it's hard to choose the next two spots from any of these:
Tool - Aenima
Rusted Root - When I Woke
Alice In Chains - Dirt
Alice In Chains - Unplugged
Mad Season - Above
Live - The Distance to Here
Cake - Comfort Eagle
Pearl Jam - No Code
Pearl Jam - Ten
Toadies - Hell Below/Stars Above
Soundgarden - Superunknown
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Blood Sugar Sex Magik
Rage Against The Machine - RATM
Live - Throwing Copper
Counting Crows - August and Everything After

Although, if I was choosing only the albums I could listen to for the rest of my life, I'd probably throw in some classical or jazz, just for variety.

[Mat Linnett]

Alice Donut - Mule
Alice Donut - The Untidy Suicides of Your Degenerate Children
NIN - The Downward Spiral
Queensrÿche - Operation Mindcrime
Fifth is a toughy, but all of these are open to change anyway, so... ZZ Top - Tejas

But I'm also incredibly fond of Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
and The Wildhearts - Earth Vs.
and Iron Maiden - Killers / Powerslave
and Pigface - Fook
with loads more in the wings, including Fishbone, The Specials, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Primus, Anthrax, Ministry, etc.

Sepultura - Chaos AD

only a complete moron would pick this album over 'beneath the remains'


good job idiot...

[U4EA]

If you believe they were good before Arise, u must be some kind of mornan. Nice going dumbo.

[4days]

apart from the obvious personal taste stuff, chaos is broader, better produced and a lot more accessible than remains.

[U4EA]

lots of morons in this thread...

Where's your list then? Oh right, you're letting your wife pick the 5 albums, just like she picked the fridge and dishwasher.

And by dishwasher I mean you.

It's you, you are the dishwasher.

Slayed

[Transient]

Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral
Metallica - ReLoad
30 Seconds to Mars - This is War
Coheed and Cambria - From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness
Jose Gonzales - Veneer

And if I could have an extra "best of" album, it would be for Muse.

[U4EA]

Awesome, now we can move on from slagging me for picking Chaos AD and make fun of Transient for picking ReLoad \o/

Na Na-Na Na Na Na, Na Na Na-Na-Na

[Transient]

It's not a bad album, and has sentimental value for me on top of that, so go fuck yourself.

Oh, and BTW, I almost got in trouble at work thanks to you, U4EA. Browsing Q3W was fine, but your icon was deemed "offensive in the workplace".
