Thread: Favorite albums ever

You can use this if you want.

was hoping it would stack them like a real collage...guess that's asking too much.

Well, I guess you can tell I was born in the late 70's, grew up in the 80's, and came of age in the 90's :

I redid mine to show the album names and what not. The link will blow it up bigger.

I couldn't get mine to post for some reason. I'll try again later, but there was a lot of Beatles and 90s music (Oasis, Smashing Pumpkins, Bush, Soundgarden, Nirvana, Pearl Jam). I took it as what CDs have I worn out in my life.

Yeah I did the same thing. The only thing I deviated on was the Marilyn Manson album I picked. I wore out Antichrist Superstat, but I thought Pale Emperor was the better culmination of his career which was spotty at best. I would have put Definitely Maybe in there if I didn't get sucked into Oasis with Whats the Story Morning Glory. I was kind of all over the place with my list.

I have no shame. There were three Oasis albums on it. What's the Story was the first one I listened to, but I love Definitely Maybe (Slide Away is probably my favorite song on that album) and Be Here Now in all its excess and extravagance.

Same here, and i kind of cheated on a couple because they were greatest hits albums instead of regular albums. But it is funny looking at my list and seeing Napalm Death and Prince in the same group. But, i like what i like and it crosses a lot of genres. lol

Yeah the first 3 albums from Oasis are definitely in my top 20. I was going to put my last 5 but it would have just been more Oasis and Smashing Pumpkins stuff. They dominate my iPod playlists.

The first 3 SP albums are excellent. But they started to lose me after that when D'arcy and Iha started to depart the band.

I think the only 2000s album on mine is Eric Church's Mr. Misunderstoof. That album is so good.

Inexplicably, I left out Beatles, Zep, and Stones, three of the bands I have listened to the most. Doors too. Except for the Beatles, I listened mostly to compilations and I didn't want to put that, but I should have. I'll have to live with my misrepresentation of the Beatles.

I think it's fair to say The 1s Beatles compilation is one of the great albums of all time. It's all there. That said, I'm an album guy so I love Let It Be, Abbey Road and the White Album. My favorite Zep albums (and they're on there) are III and IV.

Do Greatest Hit's albums count?

I wouldn't even know where to start, other than the following in random order (other than Rumors/The Dance):

Fleetwood Mac - Rumors (or The Dance)
BoDeans - Joe Dirt Car
Bruce Springsteen - Greatest Hits
Bob Seger - Live Bullet
Beatles - 1
Rolling Stones - any album, but their greatest hits covers the main songs
Simon & Garfunkel - Bridge Over Troubled Water (or greatest hits)
Stevie Wonder - Songs In The Key Of Life
Prince - Purple Rain
John Denver - Greatest Hits

I'm sure there's more, but that's off the top of my head.
