Re: Your 5 favorite albums

Guess I'll embarrass myself with mine. Also in no particular order:

The Killers -  Battle Born
David Bowie - The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars
Paramore - Brand New Eyes
Metric - Grow Up and Blow Away
St. Vincent - Strange Mercy

I know I picked the obvious one for Bowie, Scary Monsters and Low also fought it out for that spot. Could have been any of them. Battle Born's pretty new, I initially was very disappointed with it, but the more I listened to it the more I loved it. It's currently my favorite by The Killers, but once the novelty of newness wears off it could drop back behind Sam's Town, which would take its place on this list. I don't have any excuses for the other ones.

Re: Your 5 favorite albums

In no particular order
(With an added album from the same artist that I could have easily swapped to take it's place)

Tom Waits - Rain Dogs (Mule Variations)
Tom Waits - Franks Wild Years  (Small Change)
Nick Cave - Let Love In (Murder Ballads)
Pearl Jam - Ten (Vitalogy)
Primus - Sailing the Seas of Cheese (Pork Soda)

Edit: Thanks Phi - Love Tom Waits covers so I'll definitely be checking this one out smile

I'm astounded by how many albums mentioned here are some of my favorites.

Everyone has good taste. I approve.

Re: Your 5 favorite albums

I'm not very good at liking music if I'm honest. 15 years ago Radio 1 would play a fair selection of good music instead of just complete bollocks and now I never really know where to hunt it out. The truth is I hate listening to an album the first time as it tends to take a good couple of listens for me to decide if I like it. I mainly find myself listening to the same kind of things or the music from Sad Max.

But if I had to put together a top 5 list of albums then today atleast it would be:

The Levellers - Levelling The Land 
JJ72 - JJ72
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - F#A#O Infinity
Mumford and Sons - Sigh No More
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here

I don't really like albums, mainly because I'll always like one or two tracks but dislike the rest. But... Blink 182's Enema of the State remains one of the only albums where I like almost all of the songs. Otherwise, my album collection consists of soundtracks.
