I’m gonna give myself an extra rule of one album per artist, to make this easier for myself to narrow down:

1.Red Hot Chili Peppers - Stadium Arcadium

2.Metallica - Ride the Lightning

3.Nirvana - MTV Unplugged in New York (if live albums don’t count then switch this to Nevermind)

4.The Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie & the Infinite Sadness

5.Oasis - What’s the Story (Morning Glory)?

6.Pearl Jam - Ten

7.The White Stripes - De Stijl

8.Alice in Chains - Jar of Flies (if EP’s don’t count then switch this to Dirt)

9.The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Are You Experienced? (Preferably the US version)

10.U2 - Achtung Baby (everything they did after this album sucks, for the most part)

Oh yeah you just reminded me how much I love The Slim Shady LP and The Marshall Mathers LP by Eminem! Those are definitely both honorable mentions for me! The Eminem Show is close too, but a tier down below the other two, for me.

SSLP is his best album but MMLP has a lot of his best individual songs.

And I agree about The Eminem Show being a tier below both those albums.

2. Michael Jackson - HIStory

Hell yeah. That's my all-time No. 1.

Apart from that, in no particular order:

Meat Loaf - Welcome to the Neighbourhood

Meat Loaf - Bat Out Of Hell 3: The Monster Is Loose

AC/DC - Ballbreaker

Aerosmith - Nine Lives

AC/DC - Black Ice

Michael Jackson - Invincible

Queen - Innuendo

Michael Jackson - Dangerous

Last but not least...

ABBA - Gold (I know, compilation, but it's just fantastic and a great listen)

I honestly don't know why, but I usually enjoy the later albums by artists. The ones everybody says suck or forgets about. (Enjoying Ozzy's "Scream" at the moment)

- Radiohead - OK Computer

- Joy Division - Closer

- Portishead - Third (...or Dummy...or Portishead)

- Lou Reed - Berlin

- Velvet Underground - Velvet Underground & Nico

-  Faith No More - King For A Day...Fool For a Lifetime

- Nine Inch Nails - Broken

Note: I could also include any Bauhaus record but I can't decide right now.

One per artist, no order (except the top two). Appetite would be the number two slot if allowed.

 

Tori Amos - Scarlet's Walk

Alice Cooper - School's Out

Marilyn Manson - Mechanical Animals

Meat Loaf - Bat Out of Hell

Miranda Lambert - The Weight of These Wings

Children of Bodom - Follow the Reaper

Kreator - Coma of Souls

Zakk Wylde - Book of Shadows

Angels & Airwaves - I-Empire

Ozzy Osbourne - Blizzard of Ozz

these are all albums I listen to daily. I think that, if you make these lists, they don't make much sense otherwise.

1. appetite for destruction (I'm sorry this is my all time favorite, no point in leaving it out)

2. Mr Bad Guy (freddie mercury): freddie in fine voice and thoroughly enjoyable. the defining freddie album, more than any Queen album. This is what freddie was all about. Partying and emotion.

3. the complete comeback special (elvis presley): probably the best live album ever: basic and raw as fuck

4. exile on main street (rolling stones): infinitely listenable

5. incesticide (nirvana): wonderfully creative and fascinating

6. and justice for all (metallica): my favorite metal album of all time

7. Hoe zo? (clouseau, out of print): belgian pop group at their peak in the late 80s early 90s. A vibrant, energetic pop/rock album that's infinitely enjoyable. These are, to me, the belgian beatles in their early period. So much attitute and authenticity.

8. samson 1 (samson en gert, out of print): this is an album of a children's program I was a fan of in the early 90s, it was basically intended as a cash grab and features a grown up dude with his talking dog, but these songs are brilliant nonetheless. There is this synth / rock fusion going on, and all these songs are really singeable and instantly make you happy. Interestingly, these two (dude with his talking dog) regularily give concerts aimed at grown ups who feeling nostalgic for them. All of them are singing along with the "samson rock". It's a bucketfull of laughs, and frankly, this album is just fucking legendary.

9. appelman (various, long out of print): an album containing silly songs about fruit and vegetables, intended for use during school lessons. It's basically some teachers (with no musical experience whatsoever, who try to sound "cool") who decided to create an album with the help of some kids. There is rap / techno and quirky oddities about going to the fruit market and appleman coming to your rescue. this album is stupidly fun and crazy. There is even a cereal who's ready for some "action" (I'm not making this up). I'm litterally laughing as I type this.

Ozzy's Scream is a great album. So is Dangerous and Invincible and Nine Lives. I have the same thing. I always seem to love the albums everyone else hates. You're not alone. :lol:
