*Any band that i repeated, i did so because the music means something more to me than just a good song, or sweet beats.

[Arukooru]

I tried really hard to find 10 Albums that are really important to me... but i came to a the conclusion that i rather remember the songs more than the album that they are on. So the only 2 Albums that come to my mind that had a really a influence on me as a whole are:

Nirvana - Nevermind ... what should i say to that Album that isnt said, just brilliant.

H-Blockx - Time to Move ... that Album drove me to the Style of the Music I listen to.

[Vortrall]

Pink Floyd - Dark side of the moon, been with me since I was 5, love this album and will never let it go
Paul oakenfold - collection of different artists, really got me into electronic music, can't remember which, exactly
Hybrid - I choose noise, absolutely amazing album
Mannheim steamroller - Christmas album, I love this album, and refuse to listen to many Christmas albums that aren't plain instrumental.
I can't honestly think of any more, but those have the most impact on my life

[RockStrongo]

Number 1 for me is, without a doubt, Lateralus by Tool. The rest are just in alphabetical order since they're all amazing in their own right:

Converge - Jane Doe
Death - Symbolic
The Dillinger Escape Plan - Option Paralysis

Opeth - Blackwater Park
Pantera- Vulgar Display of Power
Porcupine Tree - Deadwing
Rage Against the Machine - Rage Against the Machine
Tool - Aenima

1. Amorphis - Silent Waters: No contest. My all-time favourite album ever. Hauntingly beautiful songs and Finnish mythology, what's not to like? Besides, Shaman.

2. Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon: Amazingly paced, amazing songs, amazing topic.

3. Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here: Apart from Have a Cigar I absolutely love it.

4. Iron Maiden - The Final Frontier: This may sound blasphemous, but I think it's their best album ever. Yes, even better than...

5. Iron Maiden - Seventh Son of a Seventh Son: Beautiful album, for a long time my favourite Maiden album of them all. And that's saying a lot.

6. Amorphis - Tales From the Thousand Lakes: A legend, pure and simple.

7. Nightwish - Century Child: I adore the album, especially their take on The Phantom of the Opera.

8. Amorphis - Skyforger: Just plain beautiful.

9. Amon Amarth - Twilight of the Thunder God: Brutal, melodic, powerful.

10. Iron Maiden - Piece of Mind: One word. "FLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!"

Honorable mention: Grand Magus - Hammer of the North: If you don't know them... now's the time to check them out. Good ol' heavy metal.

not really in any order, but...
as most of my friends, I dont wonder if people here too think my music taste stinks : D

[Nelchan]

This might take a while for me to write, but here it goes.


1) Opeth - Blackwater Park

Hands down my favorite album of all time. I was in highschool when it came out and it changed my world. I saw them when they went on tour for that album and haven't miss a tour since.

2) Porcupine Tree - In Absentia

This album was around the same time as blackwater park and had the same effect on me. They are just amazing.

3) Between the Buried and Me - Alaska

I was hesitant in picking this up because a friend had told me they were a vegan screamo band. While the vegan part was right (can't win'em all eh?) they are anything but screamo. Some of the best progressive/extreme metal on this album.

4) A perfect Circle - Mer De Noms

Sure I could have picked a Tool album, but this album is just perfect in every way. If I am ever finding myself in a mellow mood, I just toss this on and enjoy.

5) Death - The Sound of Perseverance

The birth of Tech-death, need I say more?

6) Nevermore - Dead heart in a dead world

Warrel Dane is one of those vocalist that just knocks your socks off from the first note and never ceases to amaze.

7) Bloodbath - Resurrection Through Carnage

Old school death metal from members of Opeth and Katatonia? sold.

8) Divinity Destroyed - Eden in Ashes

Most of you will have never heard of these guys (which is an absolute shame because they are amazing). They were a local New Jersey band who broke up not too long ago. All of their stuff was awesome, but this album felt the most refined. I recommend looking their stuff up on last.fm or itunes.

9) Sonata Arctica - Winterheart's Guild

Finish power metal at its best. What else can I saw about this. The happiest metal you could ever hear.

10) Dream Theater - Metropolis Part 2: Scenes from a memory

The greatest swan song ever sung. The last great album of a dead band. Yes I know they are still around that the albums after this were not the worst but with Portnoy gone this band is dead to me.

[Chaedi]

This is in no particular order and while for a few of the bands especially Dream Theater and RUSH I decided to limit myself to one album per band.

Dream Theater - Metropolic Part 2 - Scenes From a Memory - You can debate its the greatest concept album ever.
RUSH - Signals - Great prog album and has my favorite song by them, Subdivisions
Queensryche - Operation Mindcrime - Can also be debated as one of the greatest concept albums ever.
Symphony X - V - First album I heard by them and loved it
Blind Guardian - Nightfall in Middle-Earth - Concept album about Tolkien's, The Silmarillion
Metallica - Master of Puppets - Their best album and their best song
Flogging Molly - Swagger - Celtic Folk Punk at its finest
VNV Nation - Futureperfect - The cd alienated some fans as it moved from EBM to synthpop but I love it
Iron Maiden - Number of the Beast - Every song has turned into a classic of theirs
Iced Earth - The Glorious Burden - Unfortunately this is the only Iced Earth album I have picked up so far, but I really liked it a lot.

[Nelchan]

Iced Earth - The Glorious Burden - Unfortunately this is the only Iced Earth album I have picked up so far, but I really liked it a lot.

Get their older stuff. Matt Barlow destroys Ripper when it comes to vocals.
