What are your personal five favorite albums of all time? Thought this would be a fun thread after looking through some of my older CDs, found a bunch of stuff I haven’t listened to in a while. I was going to make this a top three but I have way too many favorites to do that.
Before we start this, PLEASE EVERYONE, THESE ARE OPINIONS ONLY. I’m not starting a debate of what are the top five albums of all time, just your personal favorites. So no criticizing, just name your favorite five and move on.
No real order for me, but:
1. OK Computer - Radiohead
2. Futures - Jimmy Eat World
3. Weezer - Blue Album
4. Nightmare of You - Self Titled (my personal favorite from the last five years so far, good stuff)
5. Muse - Absolution
Reason for picking these albums is because out of everything I own, these are the five that I almost NEVER skip any songs on. That’s the definition of a great album to me, all good music, no filler.
Honorable Mention: Anything by All/Descendents (really got me deep into music when i was a kiddo), Further Seems Forever - How to Start a Fire, and This Providence - Our Worlds Divorce

There are so many more I could add to this list.

I was going to include this album in my top 5 solely based on the song SIBLY. It’s simply phenomenal and probably my favorite song ever. :shrug:
Listing 5 albums is incredibly difficult and unfortunately it hurts my brain to think this hard late at night. Maybe I’ll give it another shot tomorrow while I drone away at work. I will comment though that the artists Muddy Waters and Travis will be on there, not that anyone cares :lol:

Hahaha yeah, I actually fully understand what you mean there. It’s not necessarily “beginner friendly.”
I’d recommend checking some individual tracks out on youtube first.
The [“Come on My Selector”](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQq0zVIF6SQ) video is actually really great in good resolution. Great track too.
This song is really popular and rather chill ["Red Hot Car."](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13HM-bmKW2U)It’s pretty popular, not my favorite song by any means though.
I guess if you wanna download an album, try and get “Go Plastic”

Haha, yeah. You can’t insult someone’s choice in reading material, and you shouldn’t insult someone’s preference in music.
Although claiming “OK Computer” is your favorite Radiohead album makes you look pretty sketchy.

Hehe. I’m just saying that while that album at the time of release was great, it doesn’t really compare with the rest of their collective works. I’ve been a fan of Radiohead since Pablo Honey, have performances with Bjork on VHS, etc… it’s just my opinion that of all the styles and throughout all the transitional albums, OK Computer isn’t the best. The Bends is amazing, so is Kid A, Amnesiac. :shrug: To each their own, I guess for me at least, OK Computer just has a stigma of being their most pretentious work.
It does however, have probably my favorite Radiohead song: Exit Music
