I have been listening through all my favorite albums over and over so I figured why not make a thread where people list their 3 favorite albums and hopefully I can find some new music to fall inlove with.
Making a top 3 is probably close to an impossible challenge but w/e, I will give it a shot.
1.
The beatles - Abbey Road
Definitely my favorite beatles album. I think most critics hold "sergeant pepper's lonely hearts club band" higher but I like "Abbey Road" as an album more. All the songs fit together well and just creates a whole that is beyond sick. Great mix of silly/slow/weird/good songs.
2.
Pink Floyd - The Dark Side of the Moon
At first I really didnt understand this album but after listening through it a couple of times I completely fell in love. There was a period of like 2-3 months when I almost only listened to this album. Its psycadelic and weird but also crazy good, the whole album is like one long genious song. Me like!
3.
Glasvegas - Glasvegas
Now there are a couple of albums that probably deserve this spot more but this one is definitely up there somewhere and I figured I would promote this a bit more because everyone just peed in my mouth when I posted about glasvegas in my blog.
Bottom line is, this album is sooo good. I dont know what it is about Great Britain but they can sure produce some fine musicians/songwriters.
Similar to most great albums I wasnt superimpressed the first time I heard it. But after the third or fourth time I couldnt keep my hands off and it has pretty much been on repeat since then. The song I posted in my blog is a live recording and is harder to appriciate so I urge you to atleast download the album and listen through it once or twice. Its sick good. Great melodies, great lyrics and very well produced.
Alright thats mine, now ship yours. I need sick albums asap gogogo
what wackass site is this nigga?

ok, been a long time since I listened to full albums, but these three still stand out as excellent imo
1....Judas Priest - Painkiller
Excellent speedy metal, with almost no weak tracks. A real energy boost. An album that has been on repeat for more than one session for me.
2....Radiohead - OK Computer
Beautiful music at the peak, imo, of Radiohead's career. Not an easy album to get into if you only hear it once, but it grows on you tremendously and is just about as close to a fullpointer as they come.
3.....Pink Floyd - The Wall
Excellent concept album with some really good individual tracks as well. Guitar lovers will definitely enjoy this.
So fragile yet so empty, so ostentatious, exemplary even, yet so grandiose in nature.
Let me describe a little scene for you and you only, my good and humble friend. Imagine seeing something, something twisted beyond visible comprehension. Something utterly infallible yet inextricably touching. An event on a gargantuan scale, akin to witnessing The Big Bang, the start of it all, apparent at the dawn of time. The ambivalent flourishes that inhibit 2001 A Space Odysseys memorable closing reel the starchild lurks peacefully in an infinite lurch of blackness. Both empty and vivacious. Both perfect, inextricable, audacious all of these precarious statements are apt. Pretentious thing to say? Maybe so. But it is hard to praise something, love something without all of these things. And this is why I’m writing this. To comprehend my wandering thoughts. To illicit the spread (however small) of Kayo Dot, and of course Toby Driver, one of the most visceral, original and brilliant musicians to be found today. We need people like him. We need people who are willing to divulgate into uncharted waters. And the rest of us? The monotonous hangers on of an age who still aim to mimic the Dylans and MacCarthys of this world are still sadly, rampant. Lets change. We, us, human beings, we are capable of so much if we work together and put our wonderful minds to it. Think about this one for an example. People made this. Someone, a living breathing human being created, slaved over and composed THIS. It boggles the mind, how someone like Driver can possess a mind so intrinsic, to have that much creativity and hindsight, to be whatever he wants to be, whenever he wants to be. Makes me feel insipid, a worthless pot smoking degenerate, in wholly and dutiful comparison.
Choirs Of The Eye is a very special album for me. Early September 2007 was when I discovered it, a fruitful recommendation from a user on his website. It was an odd time for me, and as the summer veers towards an unwarranted close, what with the Leaving Cert hanging around the corner, its about to start all over again. To think that this is a debut album as well! As accomplished and as meticulously crafted as this! Well, it is and it isn’t. Drivers old band Maudlin Of The Well had become a bit of a cult hit circa 2002. Signing to John Zorn’s Tzadik label, the band changed names, a few people went their separate ways, and it began. As amazing and as incredulous Maudlin Of The Well were with the Leaving Your Body Map/Bath combination, this was something completely leftfield altogether. The culmination of Toby Drivers music ability to date. Five seamless, layered compositions which shift from darkness to poignancy. “Marathon” is like a universe in itself, seemingly vast, never ending (or even without an ending) and most of all perfection. Oh so perfect. Shredding doom metal blast give us a taste of what is to come, before the song settles into a sporadic jazz piece compete with clarinet. Voices move in an out, confusion, hell almost fear sinks in. Suddenly it happens. The guitars lurch forward with sheer venom, Driver adopts one of the most FRIGHTENING set of screaming vocals I’ve ever had the pleasure of listening to , and then we’re in hell. The guitars man. I have never heard guitars sound as evil, as powerful, and as domineering as on Choirs Of The Eye. They destroy you, they break you down, they crush whatever narrow minded perceptions of music you may or may not have had. Things quiet down later on in the song, a smooth contemplation of various instruments, a warped, eccentric drumbeat that doesn’t sound quite right. Its one of most beautiful segments of music I’ve ever heard, never, EVER want it to end. See? I’m sounding pretentious again! Drifting away, from something to nothing, a cryptic spoken word dialect concludes the piece, and we want more, hell I want more. The best is yet to come however.
“A Pitcher Of Summer” is only piece on the album that could be considered anything along the lines of a conventional song, but if anything it shows Drivers sheer skill in vocals. Jeff Buckley one minute, Lord Worm the next. I consider “A Pitcher” to be the weakest song here, more of an interlude . But the climax, the merging of a subversive jazz virtuoso with a death metal outfit, is so good, it would be impeccable to not mention it. Bands the world over would dream to make a song as visceral and as moving as this one. Back on track, fifteen minute centrepiece “The Manifold Curiosity” is a monster in every sense of the world, a compendium of emotions, thoughts and dreams, one of the most brilliant pieces of music ever composed, one of my favourite songs of all time. Swirling woodwind instruments initiate you into its dark decrepit world, a page turning in a book, a lone acoustic guitar. Divers voice is distorted beyond all comprehension (just to make sure things aren’t THAT accessible) and its eerie, a masterwork in exercised tension. 4:45 and the guitars come in again, knocking you off your feet. But motherfucker!! Toby starts soloing with a piccolo and christ! I dunno what it sounds like, I’ve never heard anything QUITE like it since. Akin to a vacuous human voice, drowned out by evil, fear, crushing powerful machines. Celestial like in its power, an effortless cross of two genres which in reality, shouldn’t have a damn thing to do with each other. Once it cools down, we’re left with more voices, and another spoken word section reminiscent of “Marathon” all that time ago. Utterly indecipherable, but it builds up and up, all the instruments becoming more predominant as time goes on. But brace yourself, around the ten minute mark one evil metal riff comes in and the band goes crazy, pure fucking CHAOS. Everyone starts soloing, all the instruments falling on top of each other. Then Drivers vocals come in…..and FUCKING HELL, ISNT THE MANIFOLD CURIOSITY LIKE THE GREATEST FUCKING THING ON THE PLANET?!. The last four minutes of this THING, are a compendium of brutal malicious instruments , manic guitar solos, Drivers hellbent grind core vocals, it doesn’t make much sense yet it does at the same time. As I’m sitting here now, there is NOTHING, nothing in music that matches “The Manifold Curiosity” and its ominous conclusion. Can’t think of a thing! Last minute or so, the song cuts out to a down and dirty doom metal riff, and the song abruptly cuts out. Like I’ve said many a time in adherence to Choirs: Perfection. Sheer, bloody perfection. Easily the best thing here of course, but the fact that the closing two songs are still masterpieces in their own right, prove what we REALLY are dealing with here.
Give “Wayfarer” a bit of time. It seams a bit meandering and structure less at first but in reality, it is nothing less then gorgeous . The vocals remind me of Thom Yorke, the angelic and sonorous string arrangements that accompany it remind me of Sigur Ros, at the end of the day, you NEED to hear this track, simple. Moreso, you NEED something like this to cool you down, after the violence you’ve witnessed in the last track. But its so LOVELY!! Exemplary acoustic work offer a stark contrast with what you’ve heard before, the most vocally predominant track on the album. About six minutes in, there’s a little intermission, a small gap of silence. A lone bass guitar plays about three or four notes over and over again, then christ on a bike!!, check out that “stalks of lapis lazuli groaning against a tired breeze” vocal bit…good god, that is one of the saddest and touching segments of music on the planet. The intensity of the song grows, multiple Drivers start singing to you…and that VIOLIN!! But it doesn‘t last like this for long! “Wayfarer” proceeds to do a nasty, a blistering guitar solo ambush, (talk about capricious) an unforgettable flawless climax (this, THIS is why I listen to music, sends a shiver down my spine every time) before the song inevitably drifts away and dies down. Closing piece “The Antique” is a thing of unforeseen beauty, epic, serene, and unforgettable. You know I’ve spent fifteen hundred or so words describing four songs? Fo shizzle! “The Antique” for the most part is the most minimalist piece on the album, but it never EVER fails to frighten me (2:55, what the FUCK is that thing in the background, its terrifying beyond words) a soundtrack to a David Lynch movie yet to be made. The climax is the equivalent of being run over by a freight train, layered doom metal riffs, canorous, tortured yelps, and a crescendo like no other. Post Rock? Progressive Metal? Nah, this is much more than that. This is MORE that ANYTHING. And what else do we have? Piano ballads, distorted vocals, a lone trumpet, a cherished memory. Truth be told, you could live and die inside this song. The best album of the decade, Toby Drivers musical masterstroke, and the album that ruined music for me. If that doesn’t persuade or mean ANYTHING to you, nothing hell, heaven or earth ever will.
That's a random review I found, there are tons of em talking about it. Ok I think I've taken enough space with just one album, but the other twos would be maudlin of the Well albums.
fuck I should just sell some of my Pokemon cards, if no one stakes that is what I will have to do - lostaccount
well I think it's like asking for the top 3 movies, how can one pick from such a wide variety of genres/schools of creators..
I'll give you three favorite jazz albums out of many:
Mccoy Tyner featuring Michael Brecker "Infinity"
Pat Metheny and Kenny Garrett "Pursuance The Music Of John Coltrane"
Ornithology (Classic Recordings 1945-1947) - Charlie Parker
these are the first that come to mind right now
I don't find it easy to listen to jazz while playing poker though so perhaps I should have given you some good funky albums
new shit has come to light... a-and... shit! man...
Bran Van 3000 - Glee
Metallica - Black album
Jean Leloup - Le Dôme
Expect the worst, hope for the best

considering how i absolutely love the first two you mention this makes me think I need to check out glasvegas (which I heard was great anyway! )
top 3 albums ever IS pretty much absolutely impossible but whatever, i'll mention the ones I want to share, my actual list mightve included dark side of the moon but already mentioned
king crimson - court of the crimson king
I love this!! for anyone who has ever listened to old rock and/ or prog and thought "hey this is cool", this is a must
their most famous songs are on the self-titulated album, but I think this one is overall just as good.
there has never been an album made that left me this incapable of sitting or standing still. they're known as the best liveband in the world, but their studio albums are pretty awesome too.

2. jay z - reasonable doubt

1. Who's Next - The Who -Every song is pure awesome. It's so sick good that it's almost gay.
2. Beggars Banquet - The Rolling Stones - 2 of the best rock songs ever in Street fighting man and Sympathy, No Expectations which could make a grown man cry and a great ending in "Salt of the Earth".
3. Ziggy Stardust - David Bowie - Great album with a lot of really, really cool songs. Rock & Roll Suicide is epic, Ziggy Stardust is a rock anthem and there's just no way in hell anyone could see the recordings from his 1973 show in the Hammersmith Odeon without feeling moved.
Runner ups:
Houses Of The Holy - Led Zeppelin
Transformer - Lou Reed
Pronouced 'leh-nerd'skin-nerd - Lynyrd Skynyrd

1. Disillusion - Back to Times of Splendor: Anyone that likes technically complex music should get this. It is a progressive metal masterpiece.
2. Exodus - Another Lesson in Violence: Live album featuring Baloff. As a fan of thrash metal, I must say this is probably one of the best thrash albums ever.
3. Iron Maiden - Rock in Rio: A crowd of 100.000 south americans singing along with a lot of epic Iron Maiden songs. Awesome.
4. Death Angel - Killing Season: An amazing album all-round. A lot of diffrent influences can be heard; they're mainly a thrash band but they spent a lot of times experimenting with other genres in the past and it shows in this album.
5. Testament - The New Order: Features a few incredible songs such as Trial by Fire, the title track and Disciples of the Watch. Thrash as well.
6. Kreation - Live Kreation: I really want to see this band live. This is why.
7. Dead Kennedys - Plastic Surgery Disasters: DK was awesome, and Jello conveys his political messages quite clearly with the occasional gag song thrown in as well. Really love the new version of California Über Alles on this one.
8. Black Sabbath - Paranoid: Timeless classic, 'nuff said.
9. Agalloch - The Mantle: It was a close battle between this one and Ashes against the Grain, but I decided to go for this one due to the first track after the intro. In the Shadow of our Pale Companion tells a really impressive tale.
10. Entombed - Morning Star: The inventors of the not very well-known Death 'n Roll genre. Combines the best aspects of Death Metal and good old rock. I really like what they did with this album.
Couldn't stick to 3 albums, sorry :3

What's wrong with picking more? Don't see why you'd want to limit it to 3 albums anyhow. I can spoiler 4-10 if you'd like. I just saw no harm in doing so.

rapping is one of the elements of hiphop as far as i know

there would be waaay too much to talk about if we tried to compare rap and hip-hop and it would be futile in the end, but for what I think of it, all hip-hop is rap yes but not all rap is hip-hop. I'm a fan of hip-hop as a culture, not rap. there are way too many rappers out there who got it completely wrong and don't represent hip-hop at all and saying both things are the same is pretty dumb because of exactly that. I don't know about you, but I personally wouldn't say that I listen to rap, even though that's "what hip-hop is", because there are too many bad things associated with it and it would be a misrepresentation of what i'm really listening to.
I also don't see any reason to compare indie underground artists to such a big name as Nas and the masterpiece of an album as such as Illmatic is.

First of all, rap and hip-hop are not the same thing
Secondly, Immortal tech eats the rappers you just named for breakfast, including MF Doom.
fuck I should just sell some of my Pokemon cards, if no one stakes that is what I will have to do - lostaccount

lol if you think tech > nas and mos def
and loco already went into the whole rap==hiphop thing. rap IS a part of hiphop, but since rappers have tarnished it's name, people just don't affiliate rap with hiphop (the culture) anymore

I also don't see any reason to compare indie underground artists to such a big name as Nas and the masterpiece of an album as such as Illmatic is.
just to show that doom is good, but not great i guess. mos and nas were the first two greats to come to mind

modern music is going to hell, they made the last good music in the 90's
Definitely not true. If you are an oldtimer, this might be the case because every agegroup has their "decade" of music. Pretty ignorant to say the last good music was made in the 90's. Also pretty damn ignorant for Loco to end thread /thread when its about peoples top3 albums, wtf. I mean that Kayo Dot might be the best album in the universe but i wouldn't know, just needed to point that out aswell.
Of course its not true, but music was generally better in those days, there are still some great new talents now just not as many as there used to be. I like the 60's-90's much better than most modern pop-rnb-rap-crap! Its pretty ignorant to call someone ignorant in a thread about your personal music taste
I started out with nothing and I still got most of it left

I know, I know. Only 3 aloud.
However I have over 2500 albums so be glad I was even able to bring it back to these 8.
In alphabetical order:
(Insane Clown Posse - The Great Milenko)
(LCD Soundsystem - LCD Soundsystem)

meh i think the "who is the biggest pink floyd fan" discussion would be about the most retarded one imaginable but dark side of the moon can certainly defend a position as "best floyd album ever"
i think I prefer the wall, frankly im a sucker for piper at the gates of dawn, and well animals and wish you were here are both excellent.. I dont see how you can claim that dark side of the moon is too slow and mention meddle though, I mean wtf echoes is half the album..
