Tristania - Beyond The Veil (superior over anything)
Cradle Of Filth - Dusk..... And Her Embrace (plain good) Iron Maiden - Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son (well mastered, great sound) Tristania - Widow's Weeds (poor sound but great melodies) Therion - Vovin (plain good) I also tend to favour certain classical masterpieces, but I doubt they can be classified as "albums." Hmm. I guess I listen a lot of metal

I really enjoy these, but I don't have any particular top 5.
* Electrasy - In Here We Fall (Unknown band, but real nice Rock, I love these guys!) * Prodigy - Music for the Jilted Generation * William Orbit - Pieces in a Modern Style (Oh Yeah!) * a-ha - Minor Earth Major Sky (first listen: yuck! - some more listening: beautifull!) * Brave Hearts (stompin' celtic music compilation) My favorite type of music, trance, doesn't usually come in the form of albums. |

Lots of diverse and good musical tastes here, I see
A few personal favourites (although it's mind-bogglingly difficult to select only five): The KLF - Chill Out Ministry - The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste Covenant - Europa Beastie Boys - Paul's Boutique Iggy and the Stooges - Raw Power Honorable mentions: Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick The Cure - Pornography Suicide - Suicide Johny Cash - at Folsom Prison and San Quentin Kraftwerk - Trans Europa Express Now if only I could limit myself to one or two genres, maybe I could compose a list that actually made sense

It's interesting to see most of us here listen to rock mostly.
1. Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness 2. Everything But The Girl - Home Movies 3. Coldplay - Parachutes 4. Radiohead - OK Computer 5. Pearl Jam - Live on Two Legs I hope to have them if I ever get stuck on a desert island... along with a CD player of course, and an infinite supply of batteries.

Unlike most of you (as it seems), I don't listen to "oldies"... Especially not boring rock and such...
 I'm much more interrested in pop, trance, dance, happy hardcore and such.... These are some of my favorites if I take just one album per artist (or else three of those albums would have been Blümchen albums  ) :Blümchen - Jasmin - Die Fanedition Dream - Dear... Garbage - Version 2.0 The best of Enya - Paint the sky with stars The Corrs - Talk on corners (Special edition) |

After age 35 or so, this question either becomes extremely simple to answer, or impossible to answer. In my case, I'll take a pass... it's impossible.
Edit -- well maybe I'll give it a try... (1) UFO - Strangers In The Night (Live) (2) Jean Michael Jarre - Oxygene (& Equinoxe... ok that's cheating) (3) Depeche Mode - Catching Up With (early greatest hits) (4) Beethoven's 5th, Complete (5) Scheherazade (Rimsky-Korsakov), Complete Well, there are so many others... count anything in that contains little or no filler and mostly all good stuff . And anything with primarily analog synths & specifically the Moog, although I can't include that in a "top 5 of all time" sort of thing.

Fewtch is right, this is impossible, but at least I'll try...
Not counting Bach’s B Minor Mass (which, in my limited experience, is the finest piece of music ever written) or any other classical or jazz or whatever, here (in no particular order) is my list: Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here Richard and Linda Thompson - Shoot Out The Lights Ambrosia - Somewhere I’ve Never Traveled Lyle Lovett - Joshua Judges Rush 10cc - How Dare You! But, realistically, any of these could be substituted without any argument: Violent Femmes - The Blind Leading the Naked Genesis - The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway Jethro Tull - Minstrel In The Gallery City Boy - Young Men Gone West Tonio K. - Life in the Foodchain The Clash - London Calling Gentle Giant - Octopus Steely Dan - Katy Lied Oh Christ, I forgot The Beatles! Okay: The Beatles - Rubber Soul Cat Stevens - Mona Bone Jakon Ani Difranco - Little Plastic Castle Van Morrison - Avalon Sunset Paul Simon - Graceland Badfinger - No Dice Joni Mitchell - Blue Al Stewart - Orange You see, it’s impossible!
