Top Six albums I couldn't live without

neroceasar · 06-07-2008, 03:04 AM

I do listen to older metal stuff but these albums I can listen to anytime and are my top choice in a zombie apocalypse. They're in alphabetical oder by artist.

The Black Dahlia Murder- Unhallowed
B/c this is the album that brought me back to deathmetal

The Faceless- Akeldama
B/c this is the best progressive melodic death

Flesh and Blood Robot- The Sounds Revolvers Make
B/c not only is fucken weird and highly addictive it's something completely original and blood thirsty

Ion Dissonance- Solace
B/c the technicality becomes a finely tuned beast all it's own

The Red Chord- Fused together through revolving doors
B/c this must is pure energy and makes you want to punch the guy sitting next to you

Still Remains- If Love Was Born Today
B/c I grew up listening to the work of Jordan Whelan and this was his best though anything after it i do not like.

And your's are?

Aaron · 06-07-2008, 05:14 AM

Korn - life is peachy

Primus - pork soda

Modest mouse - every album

Deftones - every album

fear factory - obsolete

Psyopus rules the world!

"The Tony Danza Tapdance Extaravaganza" will melt your fucking face off! Get ready for bill dance

I love my fishing shows

.

deguello666 · 06-07-2008, 05:46 AM

1: The Muppet Show album (yes, I'm serious)
2: Death:Symbolic
3: Jethro Tull:Crest of a Knave
4: Ozzy:No More Tears
5: Pantera: Cowboys or Vulgar Display
6: Steve Vai: Passion and Warfare or Satch: Flying in a Blue Dream

I know technically that's 8, but i'm not fussy which Pantera album, and Vai and Satch are too equal to separate I'm afraid

(pity we couldn't get 10....would make life a BIT easier lol)

Uber Mega · 06-07-2008, 06:00 AM

Gravenhurst - Fires in Distant Buildings

Oceansize - Frames

Opeth - Blackwater Park

Chopin - Etudes collection

Anathema - A Natural Disaster

DJ Shadow - Entroducing...

-K4G- · 06-07-2008, 06:30 AM

Vehemence - God Was Created

Vehemence - Helping the World To See

Lamb of God - Ashes Of the Wake

Suffocation - Suffocation

Mastodon - Blood Mountain

Metallica - ...And Justice For All

Esp Griffyn · 06-07-2008, 06:47 AM

Steve Vai - Passion and Warfare
Joe Satriani - The Extremist
Jonas Hellborg / Shawn Lane / Apt Q256 - Temporal Analogues of Paradise
Jonas Hellborg - Kali's son
Devin Townsend - Infinity
Devin Townsend - Synchestra

Mr. S · 06-07-2008, 06:55 AM

Evidently I'm crap at this I couldn't choose just six...

Emperor - Prometheus: The discipline of fire and demise
Why? Because its like the best album evaaar!!

Devin Townsend - Ocean Machine/Infinity/Terria/Physicist/Accelerated Evolution/Synchestra/ZTO
Why? Because those are all one album right?

Metallica - ...and Justice For all
My Favourite Metallica album

Opeth - Orchid/Morningrise/My Arms, Your Hearse/Still Life
Again... these are all one album right?

Tom Waits - Rain Dogs
The first waits album I brought

Ihsahn - The Adversary/angL
Both awesome, couldn't choose between the two

Shaman · 06-07-2008, 08:54 AM

Here's my list:

1. Arcturus - La Masquerade Infernale
Avantgarde "metal" with an amazing atmosphere. A huge influence for me!

2. Camel - Snowgoose
Progressive rock at it's best. Amazing songs, relaxing atmosphere and Andy Latimer's guitar tone/melodies.

3. Vivaldi's Four Seasons
No comment needed!

4: Emperor - Anthems to the Welking at Dusk
Amazing songwriting, progressive song structures and an awesome, epic atmosphere.

5. Sepultura - Chaos AD
This album was one of the reasons I started playing the guitar, and for me, it still sounds amazing and fresh, after over ten years of owning it! Catchy, brutal riffs, Max Cavalera's pissed off voice and just the attitude that comes through in the music.

Whoops, I forgot the 6th!
6. Amorphis - Tales From the Thousand Lakes
Those melodies, those brilliant melodies!

FortePenance · 06-07-2008, 09:18 AM

1. Obzen - Meshuggah. Doesn't necessarily contain their best songs but it's a well-rounded mix of good material imo.

2. Grow Up and Blow Away - Metric. Awesome album is awesome.

3. Trees are Dead and Dried Out, Wait for Something Wild - Sikth. I liked this disc better than Death of a Dead Day and the songs on it are just awesome. From Tupelo to How May I Help You, delivering album delivers.

4. Demanufacture - Fear Factory. Mah, I feel it's got some filler material but then again I feel most FF stuff does. >_> Great songs on this disc and the tone is rockin.

5. Get out of my Yard - Paul Gilbert. So many Gilbert discs are good and I can only settle for this one because of that ripping opening track. ._.

6. Comfort Eagle - Cake. I love it madly.

telecaster90 · 06-07-2008, 09:26 AM

Led Zeppelin-Led Zeppelin 4
My favorite Zep album

Dream Theater-Awake
The best DT album

Megadeth-Rust in Peace
Probably my favorite album ever

Death-Individual Thought Patterns
Favorite Death Metal album

Dr Dre-The Chronic
Gotta spice it up a little

Miles Davis-Kind of Blue
Classic

Minor Threat-Complete Discography
So much energy in 25 minute long songs

Apex1rg7x · 06-07-2008, 09:34 AM

Korn-Life is Peachy

Between the Buried and Me-Colors

The Human Abstract-Nocturne

Pink Floyd-Dark Side of the Moon

Breaking Benjamins-Phobia

In Flames-Reroute to Remain

Fuck thats hard picking only six!

Nouman6 · 06-07-2008, 09:37 AM

Death - Leprosy

Death - Spiritual Healing

Death Individual Thought Patterns

Death - Scream Bloody Gore

Megadeth - Rust in Peace

Testament - Practice What You Preach

Sebastian · 06-07-2008, 09:50 AM

6 you say.. ok

FEAR FACTORY - Demanufacture

FEAR FACTORY - Archetype

PanterA - Reinventing The Steel

Damageplan - New Found Power

Slayer - God Hates Us All

Slayer - Decade of Agression

MerlinTKD · 06-07-2008, 10:24 AM

Hmmm... okay:

Sevendust - Seasons
IMO, their best all-around album, though Alpha is a close second

Judas Priest - Defenders of the Faith
My first Priest album, so there's sentimental attachment... plus, some kick-ass songs!

Cynic - Cynic
...'nuff said.

Periphery - Untitled
Because it's not even recorded and it's already amazing!

Bela Fleck and the Flecktones - Left of Cool
I don't know how to begin to describe it... ultra-technical rootsy modern world-music jazz, with an underlying sense of fun! Sojurn of Arjuna is worth the price of admission, by itself.

Mine
My stuff isn't great - yet! - but I'd like to keep what I've done so I can keep working!

Sheesh... this doesn't even take into consideration Miles, 'Trane, Dave Samuels, Steve Reich, Nick Cave, KsE, Meshuggah, Rush...

s7eve · 06-07-2008, 11:20 AM

NIN Broken

Faith No More Any one of King for a Day, The real Thing, Angel Dust

stuh84 · 06-07-2008, 11:26 AM

ilyti · 06-07-2008, 11:41 AM

I'd try to have as many bases covered as possible.

Eagles - Hotel California
Dream Theater - Awake
John Coltrane - A Love Supreme
Lane/Hellborg/Vanyakrams brothers of doom - Icon
Jason Becker - Perpetual Burn
Steve Vai - Fire Garden

There's no rules about how much written music you can keep is there? Good.

Xaios · 06-07-2008, 01:33 PM

Dark Tranquillity - Character
The best Dark Tranquillity album, because of its relentless, controlled aggression, plus their strongest songwriting.

Disillusion - Back To Times Of Splendor
The perfect blend of prog metal, thrash, death, and even a sprinkle of black and power.

Porcupine Tree - In Absentia
Blackest Eyes and The Sound Of Muzak are worth the price of the album alone.

Pain of Salvation - The Perfect Element Pt. 1
No one does emotional metal better than these guys, and this album is the apex of that concept.

Angra - Temple of Shadows
The ultimate power metal album. Awesome solos, sweeping epic songs, good songwriting, what's not to like?

Dream Theater - Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes From A Memory
Need I go on?

Wake · 06-07-2008, 03:18 PM

Sikth - Death of a Dead Day

Spiral Architect - A Sceptic's Universe

Dream Theater - Scenes From a Memory

Anglagard - Epilog

Andromeda - I can't decide.. Chimera or Two is One?!!?!!

Mike Oldfield - Ommadawn

Man~! that was a really tough one..

I have had the self titled album for quite some time, and I loved it! Then I just had to get this one as well, and like I said, I was a bit shocked at first

A great album, even more insane than the first

s7eve · 06-07-2008, 09:54 PM

Yes I felt the same way at first, I think everyone does but slowly I began to regard it as one of the best recordings ever, now I consider it a must own.

DslDwg · 06-07-2008, 09:56 PM

Ozzy Osbourne - Diary of a Madman
Randy was such a huge influence on me picking up the guitar. Maybe doesn't have the iconic tunes that Blizzard of Oz has but Diary of a Madman in my opinion might have been one of greatest constructed metal songs of the era.

Rush - Hemispheres
Probably the lesser known of their thematic albums 2112 probably being the most famous. Hemispheres just talks to me - great album.

Metallica - Ride the lightning
Hard to choose between it and Master. Just love speed and intensity and go for the more simplistic songs. Banged my head endlessly to Fight Fire with Fire - classic

Megadeth - Rust in Peace
This might be the perfect metal album in my opinion. Still a benchmark - great songs great playing.

Steely Dan - A Decade of Steely Dan
My one oddball - a friend turned me on to this album - I probably had heard all the songs previously but the collection is as close to perfection as you can get. Completely not my normal style of music but I just never get tired of hearing this album. great great songs.

Dream Theater - Train of Thought
Hard to pick my favorite love these guys. Just love the songs and album leans a little more metal than some of the others.

TMatt142 · 06-07-2008, 10:16 PM

Nice....nice to see some Steely Dan in here to switch things up a bit!....Here's mine..

Dream Theater- Awake
Steve Vai - Passion and Warfare
Devin Townsend - synchestra
Extreme - Pornografitti
Eric Johnson - Ah via musicom
John Petrucci - Suspended animation

Of course there are more...but these are what I've been listening to consistantly the past year or so.

DefinedInSilere · 06-07-2008, 10:38 PM

Control Denied- The Fragile Art Of Existence
Kalmah- Swamplord
Arsis- A Celebration Of Guilt
Funkadelic- Maggot Brain
Demons & Wizards- Demons & Wizards
Necrophagist- Epitaph

That was difficult....
