So i pretty much decided i need to sort my list out.
I have so many, it's damn hard to choose a top 15.

These albums make me think of good times i've had, people i have known, and things i have done that i don't ever want to forget.

Also i'm a musician, so i've tried to add some album that leave me in awe. ----> :bowdown: (much like this lil' dude).

Regina Spektor: Begin to Hope

This woman has a great voice, seriously it's awesome. Her songs are weird as fuck, that's why i like it! And that's why she's on my list, formally replacing Guns n Roses, cause Axl Rose is a dick.

Red Hot Chili Peppers: Californication

Needs no introduction. RHCP does do.

Madness: Devine Madness

2tone ska at it's best.
You crazy yanks caught onto madness yet?

Talking Heads: Stop Making Sense

We had to study this tour as part of my Music Performance, Genius - pure genius.

AFI: The Art of Drowning

I fucking love this album, not sure why. Just do i guess!
Although i don't like any of the records they've done.

System of a Down: Toxicity

System rock, everyone knows it. It's pretty much in the Bible!

Bran Van 3000: Glee

Now this is random, i know. It's not overly popular by todays standards but i love it for the complete lack of "lets stick to one genre and make loads of money". Each song is a masterpiece of its own.

Mason Jennings: Everything!

I cheated, so sue me! I couldn't pick one album, i love every song on every cd. If you haven't heard him, DO IT FUCKING NOW!

Incubus: Absolutely Everything! (Except ACLOTM, that was wank!)

Yes, i realise this isn't one album again, and is in actual fact 6 in one, thanks to MS Paint again. But i couldn't choose just one album. I fucking love Incbus, except for A Crow Left of the Murder. That was a bag off shite.

Queen: Greatest Hits I & II

What list would be complete without Queen?
Freddie Mercury is a God in my eyes, one of the greatest singers in the history of music.

Sublime: 40oz to freedom

Disagree and you will be shot.
Sublime are ONE of the reasons i did music performance in college. Brad's energy on stage was unbelievable, i wish i could have seen them in person.

Jack Johnson: Brushfire Fairytales

Jack johnson inspired me to play an acoustic over an electric guitar, i went on to learn pretty much every song he's done.

My fingers got sore, but i'm greatful to him for such a simple album. Shame about the new ones (i've said that alot).

Bob Marley: Legend

Seriously, do i REALLY need to explain this?
Bob Marley = Saint.

Steely Dan: Then and Now

I was first introduced to Steely Dan by the sound technician for The Who. Random story, but true none the less.
I fucking love the Dan, they rock my world.

Pink Floyd - Echoes: The Best of Pink Floyd

It took me a while to decide whether i liked DSOTM best or WYWH. So i went with a blend of the two, plus the best of from the other albums.

Pulse still remains my favourite live DVD ever!


BTW;

I'm not 100% sure on most of these, top 3 are staying.

But i'm missing: The Clash, Sterephonics, Bob Dylan, Neil Dymond (random!), The Who, Xavier Rudd, Ben Harper, Damien Rice, Otis Reading, Frank Sinatra, U2, KORN, Doubtful Guest, Corwded House, the Rolling Stones, Jethro Tull, The Beach Boys, JAMES, White Buffalo (i love WB, but haven't heard enough to pick an album), Jon Swift, and SOOOOO many more.


Tell me yours if it makes you feel better! :xomunch:
 


Also, David Bowie, The Police, Stone Roses, Reef, MatisYahu, Björk, Hundred Reasons, Rammstein, Pearl Jam, Jimmy Eat World, Goldfinger, Tenacious D, Audioslave, Dirty Diggers, A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, I Wayne, Fugees.........

Oh man, there are loads.
 
Oh man, there are loads.

Exactly, this is the reason why I can't make any definite list. There are just SO MANY flawless songs and albums... But I am a guitar freak so blues/hard rock/metal albums would get the highest spots for sure (BB King, Santana, Clapton, Metallica, Sepultura and many many more).
 
Can't believe i left off Hendrix, Clapton, SRV, and SABBATH!

This thread is pointless, lol. I missed too many off!
 
Uhm... you forgot number #0 (which is above #1) ;)

It's my nickname. And it changed my life.

Images and Words by Dream Theater : Reviews and Ratings - Rate Your Music

Like one Amazon reviewer put it:
After spinning the CD a few times to get through the technical facade, the listener finds himself interactively engaged with the music, craving a deeper understanding of the lyrics, wanting to decipher the difficult musical passages, and trying to imagine himself as a character in the dramatic scenes that are playing out. Yes, the "images and words" brought forth by this music transports the imaginative listener to a "dream theater." Like the near-perfect details in these songs, the names of the CD and the band were not chosen by accident.

and another:
simply a life changing album...

and another:
Best musical creation in existence.

I couldn't possibly begin to narrow down all the albums I love to a list of only 15, but I'm pretty confident about my absolute all time favorites, and those are:

Undertow (Tool)
Aenima (Tool)
Ten (Pearl Jam)
Around The Fur (Deftones)
Graffiti The World (Rehab)
Reise, Reise (Rammstein)
Live Like You Were Dying (Tim McGraw)
