Well for one, there's no such thing, and two, according to this poll, good albums stopped being made past 1991.

[Dan H.]

Certainly none of these

[izzygirl]

Certainly none of these

Enlighten us with your wisdom and superiority. What's the best album in your opinion?

[dalsh327]

I would've excluded GNR on a GNR forum.

Dylan's "Highway 61 Revisited" to me is greatest of all time.

[Dan H.]

Certainly none of these

I'll name a few that are better than all of these

Highway 61 Revisted

The Wild, The Innocent, and the E Street Shuffle

Nevermind the Bollocks

Sgt Peppers

At Folesom Prison

Good News for People Who Love Bad News

Achtung Baby!

Kid A

The Bends

In The Aeroplane Over the Sea

I'm Wide Awake It's Morning

The Downward Spiral

The Fragile

Takk..

Rated R

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

The Blueprint

Straight Outta Compton

That's a better starting list

[bacardimayne]

Thriller and AFD are the only ones in the poll that are even close to being in the discussion. Shit thread.

EDIT: Missed Sgt. Pepper, but still. Van Halen? AC/DC? The fuckin' Black Album? Greatest album of all time? LOL

Sgt Peppers

Sgt. Peppers is on the list.

Should've replaced "greatest" with "favourite" to avoid the inevitable bitching about the list. If the question is "what's your favourite album out of this list of top sellers?" then my answer would be Sgt. Peppers.

Favourite album of all time I'm not so sure about... maybe The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars.

[Desperado]

I think my all time favorites are UYI I & II but other then that it changes all the time. I would put Scurrilous by Protest The Hero up there too.

[Zeppelin]

Certainly none of these

Come on. Anyone can make that list too. The thread should be about all-time favourite albums. It's way too subjective to be able to agree on one, but you can't shit on someone's list and then make your own without expecting someone to shit on yours.

Sorry but those albums on that list aren't that great, in fact several are considered 'bad', like The Black Album.

If the thread title was 'which of these best sellers is your favorite, then I wouldn't have said anything

Lol, no. Albums on that list aren't great to you because you don't think they're great. Which is fine. But it doesn't mean it's a shit list. You may consider The Black Album bad, but a lot of people don't. So someone may put that on their list, while you wouldn't. You know?

What would you say if I told you that Achtung Baby! was garbage? Would you care? No, because you put it on your list as one of the best albums ever, and it's just my opinion. It's all subjective. The thread title should be worded better, yes, but still. It's the beauty of subjectivity. But, let me provide a list of what I think are the best albums of all-time and let's see if you disagree.

Yes - Close to the Edge

Queensrÿche - Operation: Mindcrime

The Beatles - Abbey Road

Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti

John Coltrane - A Love Supreme

John Coltrane - Blue Train

Rush - Hemispheres

Porcupine Tree - In Absentia

Tool - Lateralus

Todd Rundgren - Something/Anything?

Todd Rundgren - A Wizard, A True Star

Stevie Wonder - Songs In The Key Of Life

Billy Joel - The Stranger

Michael Jackson - Thriller

There are countless others that I consider to be greatest albums, but would everyone agree? I highly doubt it.

[Kill Devil Hill]

But "greatness" denotes influence, impact, and popularity, not album quality.

[Dan H.]

Yes, but this is a poll.

If the thread was just 'list your favorite albums of all time' I wouldn't have a problem.

[Zeppelin]

But "greatness" denotes influence, impact, and popularity, not album quality.

Which is unfortunate.

[Cosmo]

But "greatness" denotes influence, impact, and popularity, not album quality.

According to this, Back in Black.
