    So I thought this would be a fun little thing to do since I’m bored and I decided to make a top ten albums list of my own and I wanted to see what everyone else listens to.

     

    So here are mine (in no particular order):

     

    Paul Simon – Graceland (love the sound this album brings. The African sounding tunes are awesome)

    Fleetwood Mac – Rumours (love how good this is considering the band hated each other when they recorded it)

    Tegan and Sara – The Con (favourite band, just love this one to death)

    Tegan and Sara – Sainthood (favourite band, a lot of catchy tunes on this one)

    Rush – Hold Your Fire (I love most new wave, so I liked what Rush did with this one. Definitely my fave Rush album)

    “Weird Al” Yankovic – Running With Scissors (it’s got Albuquerque, My Baby’s in Love With Eddie Vedder, Polka Power! Shows off how amazing Al is at accordion)

    No Doubt – Tragic Kingdom (I’m a big fan of Gwen Stefani, and this one has a lot of their hits)

    Reel Big Fish – Turn the Radio Off (this one is a classic. This is the one that got them big. Fantastic album)

    The Beatles – Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (IMO this is The Beatles best work)

    Simon & Garfunkel – Sounds of Silence (love the soft sound and harmonies of this one)

     

    Let me know what you guys got! <img decoding=” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_wink.gif” />

    Buckethead & Friends – Enter The Chicken

    Pink Floyd – The Wall

    Daft Punk – Random Access Memories

    Devin Townsend – Ziltoid The Omniscient

    Black Sabbath – War Pigs (aka. Paranoid)

    Cool here we go:

     

    Pink Floyd – The Wall

    Queensryche – Operation Mindcrime

    Warren Zevon – Life’ll Kill Ya

    Alanis Morissette – Jagged Little Pill

    Mother Love Bone – Mothere Love Bone (Which was Apple & Shine together released after Andrew Wood’s death)

    Prince & The Revolution – Purple Rain

    Mr. Bungle – Mr. Bungle

    Paw – Dragline

    Curtis Mayfield – Superfly OST

    Dire Straits – Making Movies

     

    These are in no order they are all great albums. They are not just records with some great tracks. So many choices, these made the list, while many others could have been in their place.

     

    A giant thank you to Farottone for giving us one these albums and hopefully another someday soon.

              While some albums on my “Top 10” change periodically, there’s some consistant places that haven’t changed much over the years. Here they are, in alphebetical order by artist.

               

              – Dream Theater – Octavarium (To me, this is pretty much the penical of Dream Theater’s career. There’s a great mix of the heavy and not-so-heavy stuff that truly works here.)

              – Genesis – Selling England by the Pound (By far one of the best prog rock albums there is. There isn’t a single song on here you can convince me isn’t beautiful in it’s own way.)

              – iwrestledabearonce – It’s All Happening (This album is noisy and vicious, with an unrestrained rage. And that is why I appreciate it for just how zany and batshit-crazy it is.)

              – iwresltedabearonce – Late for Nothing (I wouldn’t try to put two albums by the same artist on a list like this, but this album is so much different that it’s practically a different band [well at least there’s a different lead singer here]. This one is much more melodic, but to me it’s certainly a welcome change. There’s still plenty of the heavy stuff here, but Courtney’s melodic singing style really suits the music here.)

              – Muse – HAARP (Yes, I know, a live album. But what if I were to tell you that almost every song here is better than the studio version? The overall sound is a bit heavier, and there’s a lot of emphasis on improv playing (as well as borrowed riffs from other songs), and it suits the music great for the most part.)

              – Ne Obliviscaris – Portal of I (By far my favorite album of 2012. While some of you may remember me being a super-fan of this band on the Rock Band forums, most of you have probably never heard of this band. This is essentially progressive death/black metal with classical elements. And it is one of the most amazing things you will ever hear.)

              – Pearl Jam – Ten (There isn’t a single song on here that I couldn’t describe as “epic” in some way. Even the slower songs have that feel of being “big,” which is something I really love about this album.)

              – Sum 41 – Chuck (So when you think Sum 41, you probably think of the poppy stuff, probably from their earlier years. This album is essentially them going from pop-punk to almost purely punk [and sometimes metal]. I like how there’s still the sense of melody and such, but there’s also a much heavier vibe to it, and the lyrics are a bit more angsty than previous albums. I think I love this album because it’s not only a band’s shift to a more serious tone, but also a damn awesome experience.)

              – System of a Down – Toxicity (One of the first metal albums I’ve heard in it’s entirety. I really like the style here, which is a little bit heavier than their later stuff [not saying their other stuff isn’t heavy, though], and has a bit of a “groove” in some songs, while also being rather chaotic in others.)

              – Yes – Fragile (Yes is one of the most technical prog bands that were around in the 70’s. And while some of their songs they’re known for are a little more towards the “pop” side of things [such as “Owner of a Lonely Heart,”] this album is a prime example of their mix of technical prog stuff such as Heart of the Sunrise, and more “sensible” works, such as South Side of the Sky. Really worth a listen if you like prog albums with both truly technical work and simple-yet-beautiful melodies.)
