I guess all records are going to be in the ear of the beholder.

Kind of like religion... personal choice and none are right, none are wrong.

I can enjoy some of Pearl Jam's music, but it's so monotonous for me.

No kidding. One of my other favorite bands was Oasis and I don't think most Americans know they kept making albums after 1998. I guess I pretty much like most 90's alternative stuff, 80's music, and some of the new independent rock whose names I would list but won't because you probably never heard of them. Other than that I like certain songs across most genres. The only thing I refuse to listen to is new country. I grew up listening to Hank Williams Sr. and Johnny Cash with my dad and I kind of draw the line there.

Pink Floyd - The Wall

Never cared for Oasis for the most part outside of Champagne Supernova.

However, if you like that style and have not heard them yet check out While Lies, Junius, and One Night Only.

Four Discs and 92 songs including alternate mixes by Flood (one of the best producers in the 90's) and never released demos and songs. The Smashing Pumpkins are easily one of my favorite bands, and Mellon Collie is their best effort overall. They stumbled a bit with Zeitgeist in 2007, but their last album Oceania made it to the Rolling Stones top 50 of the year and is in my top 3 for sure.

Siamese Dream, Mellon Collie, The Downward Spiral by NIN, Stone Temple Pilots Purple, etc. all hit when I was in high school so that automatically puts them in my all time favorites. I really think the music that defines those days is more or less the style you stick with the rest of your life. I am constantly seeking out new music that is similar which is tough, but Silversun Pickups and Arcade Fire are pretty close. I always go back to those albums without getting sick of them though.

I still enjoy Pretty Hate Machine the best by NIN.

Amen. There are a few new country acts I like, but that list is getting shorter and shorter. I typically stick to the local Texas Country/Red Dirt scene for that genre.

I think that might be the ONLY NIN record I ever liked

Im probably pretty close. Outside of a few tracks on "Spiral" i never got into his later stuff which i felt never measured up.

I agree. I just typically stuck with Ministry, Zombie and Fear Factory for my variations of techno-metal

Speaking of good songs...

I thought the thread title said "greatest albumS ever made". Didnt know it was just one, I couldnt possibly narrow it down, too many good ones.

I too have many favorites, but if I had to choose one, it would be Rumors by Fleetwood Mac.
