My personal top ten, in no specific order.

Kyuss - Sky Valley
Primus - Frizzle Fry
Simon and Garfunkel - Live: 1967
Pink Floyd - Meddle
In Flames - The Jester Race
Frank Zappa - Apostrophe
A Tribe Called Quest - Midnight Marauders
Metallica - Master of Puppets

1) Stone Roses - Second Coming
2) Jimi Hendrix - Hendrix in the West
3) The Faces - A Nod's as Good as a Wink
4) Rolling Stones - Some Girls

Jacko,

I know what you mean, I had to really think about my top ten. After I made my post, I was thinking of more and more albums that are great that would easily be in my top 50. What gets me is hos to rank the album. What is that all time favorite album, the one you listen to at least a couple of times during the week, if you use that critieria.

Jackonicko · Nov 25, 2003

Yes, I agree. But I had little trouble with my top two, which I do return to again and again and again, and have done for years! It's too early to say with BRMC, but I think it may come into the Top Ten on a permanent basis.....

Jackonicko · Nov 26, 2003

PS: Why 'London Calling' and not 'On Broadway', which gives you 'Combat Rock' as well?

The first album which introduced me to The Clash was 'London Calling'. It hold a lot more sentimental value. It just happens to be one of my favorites.

BRMC is in my top 25 at the bottom, it is slowly working its way up my chart.

Wolfpacker,

Go listen much more to Second Coming, I guarantee it will ease its way up your list!

wolfpacker · Nov 26, 2003

it and fools gold are in the next ten

IlIlIlIlIl · Nov 26, 2003

Michael Jackson's Thriller belongs to the top 10

ToddW · Nov 26, 2003

while thriller is a good album and is in my top thirty, it by no means should be in my top ten.

churnopol · Nov 27, 2003

Kids Bop cd's are the best

Bob · Nov 27, 2003

I'm disappointed to see that "Grace" by Jeff Buckley only managed a fourth place in the third top ten selection. This has to be one of my favourite albums of all time. It certainly is a classic in my opinion.
But then what is my opinion worth...

wolfpacker · Nov 27, 2003

considering I hadn't heard it until maybe 6 months ago, it has moved up my list with amazing speed. and each group of 10 is in no order.

Although I strongly disagree, I respect your opinion. However I think bands like Linkin Park, Creed and Nickelback are just corporate ##########s. Please don't take offence as it is only my opinion.

I can't come up with a top ten though because there are so many great albums. It would probably include Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon and Metallica - Master of Puppets
