4. Stone Temple Pilots - The first four albums

3. Primus - Pork Soda, Sailing The Seas Of Cheese, and Tales From The Punchbowl

2. Pink Floyd - Animals (Hon. Mention to Dark Side of the Moon)

1. Led Zeppelin - Every friggin song they do is amazing, even the more experimental periods like Presence and In Through The Out Door. Zeppelin = Hammer of the gods! If I had to pick one, Physical Graffiti is arguably one of their best efforts.


Honourable Mentions: Smashing Pumpkins, The Doors, Tool, APC, Nirvana, REM, AIC, Pearl Jam, Depeche Mode and more that I know I'm forgetting

Can you tell that I'm a child of the late 80's and early 90's? Heh.

Oooo see now this is tough...

1) Taking Back Sunday "Tell All Your Friends" -This album got mre through those pesky high school years, is endless as far as sing-a-long choruses go, and while the songs are simple they are nevertheless clever.

2) Boys Night Out- "Trainwreck" -So much inspiration is drawn from this album built around one of the craziest stories ever told. The melodies stick with you, the song's are infectious as you find yourself clapping along, and I've always been a sucker for intertwining songs.

3) Murder By Death- "Who Will Survive And What Will Be Left Of Them" -This outside the box indie group combines brilliant intrumentalism(word?) with lyrics about the devil's return to earth. Haunting and beautiful this album is a must own.

4) Say Anything- "Is A Real Boy" - Wrote a genius punk rock opera that sways from angry to embarssed to confused to intoxicated through thirteen songs. Max Bemis is pure genius while still remaining completely awkward.

5) Deftones - "White Pony" - This album is one I would put down as one of the most influential albums of our time. It showed what a band that has grown can do at their creative peak. This album is by far the greatest album to make whoopee too.

#1 - Blood On The Tracks by Bob Dylan
#2 - Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
#3 - At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash
#4 - The Very Best Of by The Doors
#5 - For Those About To Rock (We Salute You) by ACDC

hey jacob, do you like nirvana?

give 'em a whirl sometime. if you've got some extra dough, go get In Utero, i think you'd dig it.

["Sick" Billy Kryenik]

if you're going grunge, screw nirvana - ALICE IN CHAINS was a wayyyy better band.

Only my opinion tho *waits for chorus of booo's and debris*

[Ryan Ro [NAPW]]

In Utero is probably my favorite Nirvana album. A lot of the bands you listen to are hugely inspired by/influenced by Nirvana and that early nineties seattle sound. Do you good to listen to the originators.


Smashing Pumpkins was my favorite Seattle band. Siamese Dream was good enough, but I LOVED Mellon Collie. Of course, in the end Adore is my fave Pumpkins record, but Mellon Collie was outstanding in the day. I was also a big fan of Collective Soul (still am in some ways) and their self-titled record, Offspring's "Smash" and Soul Asylum's "Let Your Dim Light Shine". As far as that era goes.

Better yet, try to find their MTV Unplugged album. I think it'll have a better sound for you.

["Sick" Billy Kryenik]

most of my bands i listen to were influenced by bands like Zepplin and Skynard. Then they turned their guitars down real low, so it shook your insides to the point of explosion!

The Grunge scene was vital for music to be what it is, but honestly.. if we didn't have Nirvana we might not have Creed or Nickleback or Theory of a dead Man... *gasp* i wouldn't be sad if any of those bands up and died. :-) So in a sense, grunge hurt music more than it helped. Stupid post-grunge nickleback bands

[Stylin' Kyle Roberts [REBEL]]

I wouldn't say that grunge hurt music. It was the record company trying to capture the genie and make it accessible to a wider audience that hurt music.

But then, I've been saying that for years about all sorts of music.

[Bruce "The Beast" Richards]

I agree with Kyle, only more emphatically: the music corporations hurt music because they stifle creativity in the search for money and they make legitimate music trends fat and bloated with copycats. Grr, makes me so angry.

Also: because I am late, my top 5 albums.

5. Wrong - NoMeansNo. (Standout track: Rags And Bones.)
4. Live At San Quentin - Johnny Cash. (Standout track: A Boy Named Sue.)
3. You Were Here - Sarah Harmer. (Standout track: Lodestar.)
2. Revolver - The Beatles. (Standout track: Eleanor Rigby.)
1. Kind of Blue - Miles Davis. (Standout track: Blue In Green.)
