/\/\/\

Top 3

1) Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
2) The Who - Who's Next
3) Rolling Stones - Sticky Fingers

and about 1000 honourable mentions:icon_lol:

Regards, Rob:ernae:
 
I agree thats just too hard to pick. I'd be hard to go with 3 in each music genre.



I'll go with my 3 favorite, most powerful musical experiences, "Live" concert albums, for me. (Not in order by the way)...

Michael W. Smith - "Worship"
Cheap Trick - "Cheap Trick At Budokan - The Complete Concert" (Enhanced Version)
Johnny Cash - "Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison"
 
wow! that's a tough one!
for me, the 3 best are not my 3 favorites. (greatest hits albums don't count)

my 3 favorites would be :

Judas priest's point of entry

rush permanent waves

megadeth peace sells, but who's buying?

the 3 best, would be: (imo)

i could only pick rock albums because if i added in all the other styles of music i could never stick to just 3 albums. if i picked 3 from each style it still would have been like writing war and peace

Jimi hendrix are you experienced?

rush permanent waves

sack blabbath paranoid
 
I think I'll take one from Column A, one from Column B...:costumes:

I'll see your 'Dark Side of the Moon' and '2112' and raise you a 'Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts' Club Band'...and about a thousand honorable mentions, as well. :friday:

Heh, heh - love the video to Bill Cosby's 'Himself.' It's been playing on one of the cable channels lately and is still funny after all these years, but is poignant when you think about what happened to his son.
 
Tough one for me since I have soooooooo much music and very broad tastes.

First would be AC/DC Back in Black - this album changed my life my Soph year in high School. I didn't even listen to music of my own back then and one day at a small cafe, the first cords of Back n Black came out of the speaker above me and something inside of me clicked and I was a sponge for music right after that.

Bon Jovi - first album. this one lead me into joining my first band in 84. My first big influence, both musically and visually since I looked and sounded like him back then, LOL

lastly would be Survivor - Vital Signs: Based on what I had been through in lots of relationships and from the years of being a musician, I could relate to every song on the CD and it helped me get through some tough times when I first moved to Dallas.

Honorable mentions
Whitesnake - Whitesnake
Poison - look what the cat dragged in
Judas Priest - Screaming for Vengence
Metallica - Ride the lightning
Enya - Watermark

and on and on......
 
Linkin Park - Meteora
Die Firma - Spiel des Lebens
(Master) DJ Tiesto - Elements of life

:mixedsmi:

close others
Nightwish
Battlelore

:friday:
 
Hard to figure out a #2 or #3, but Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon has always been a favorite of mine.
 
Hi all,
My 3 favourites are:
1/ Magic is a child by Nekter
2/Lord of the ages by Magna Carta
3/Ring of changes by Barcley James Harvest

Buddha13
 
Very hard, but I'll try (biased):
1. Ramones - Ramones
2. Yazoo - upstairs at Eric´s
3. Sisters of Mercy - Enter the Sisters

Alex
 
You guys are definitely into different music than me, so I will show my age and list my three:

"Bookends" - Simon and Garfunkel
"The White Album" - The Beatles
"Crosby Stills and Nash" - Their first album
 
I don't think I can pick only three albums! Some of my first are still favourites of mine though:

AC/DC - let there be rock

Iron Maiden - The number of the beast and 7th son of a 7th son

Others that deserve a spot in the top ten because of their influence on my taste in music are (Though my opinion can change every day!) :

Pantera - Vulgar display of power
Opeth - Deliverance/Blackwater park
Machine Head - Burn my eyes
Sepultura - Chaos A.D.
Fear Factory - Demanufacture
Life of Agony - River runs red

:)
 
Three greatest is too subjective, but three favorites that come to mind being played the most over the years are:

1) U2 - October (The Edge is my favorite guitar player)
2) Echo & The Bunnymen - Porcupine
3) R.E.M. - Murmur

Others: Cactus World News - Urban Beaches, The Church - Hindsight, The Police - Regatta De Blanc, Rush - Moving Pictures or maybe Subdivisions? (Geddy Lee was a big influence on my bass playing early on)
 
Ferry and I would have a blast at the pub methinks... ask Stiz haha

man my fav albums in no particular order...

*Megadeth - The System Has Failed (dont give me the megadave rap :p even if some argue this is a solo project how many people can do what he did with this album?)

*Iron Maiden - Powerslave (Aces High is unbeatable, Back to THe Village and Flash of The Blade are insane, anyone has the Maiden Heaven Record? its a must!)

*Slayer - Reign in Blood ('nuff said)

my 3 fav live recordings

*Motorhead - No Sleep At All
*Megadeth - Rude Awakening
*Iron Maiden - Live at Donington

man, there are so many records i absolutely love and couldnt live without (serious!) im a huge music junkie haha

i like a lot of (very)early metallica, even up to master of puppets but i'd like it even more if the whole Dave thing hadnt happened, and if Cliff...well you know.

anyone here into Power Metal? Angra, Stratovarius, Nightwish, Sonata Arctica... man those guys are nuts!

compare angra's Carry On with any of its contemporary released from other artists... or even modern stuff :applause:

:d :d Even though metal and hard rock takes up most of my CD space, I do have some more 'mellow' music like the Golden Earring, Weezer, Jeff Healey and Gary Cooper.

I like some of the older Megadeth stuff but the last few albums are not on my playlist anymore. The 'Rude Awakening' live album's pretty good though.

I have forty CD's (And that includes the six CD tin box set!), eight LP's and two DVD's. Saw them play live twice. My favourite band of all time. :d

I did use to like Metallica, but looking back now on the old albums, and comparing it to some of the modern stuff I'm not that impressed anymore (Even though 'Death Magnetic' was pretty good). If you want to hear some very good trash metal try listening to a band like Trivium.

yea man older megadeth for sure... i saw them for the first time when i was 13, touring in Bogota, Friedman, DeGraso Elefson and Dave... a year prior to the date i saw Metallica touring behind their garage inc record... (i much prefer them live) i have seen Metallica 2 other times, but both here in Canada... not the same (you know what i mean)

what did you think of the last megadeth album? (o and did you know that a new one is coming?) o and chris broderick is nuts!

yea man trivium is nuts, i like their covers too, check out master and iron maiden... and i completely agree with the metallica bit... i think that two things really affected metallica's potential... the firing of dave and the death of cliff... i think kirk is fast and all, but at the same time, dave is more technical and creative (IMO) with riffs and all that... i play guitar so the difference can be felt too haha
