The stand out track for me on the album.
"Total Sound" a "Studio Two Sampler" album 14 tracks by different orchestras and instumentalists,a number of these types of albums came out at this time with the increased popularity of "Hi-Fi" stereo record players.(1970) No You-Tube samples of any track unfortunately.

Bit before my time them NFBF!

Manics - Holy Bible - by far my favourite album. Incredibly dark edgy lyrics backed up by some superb riffage from the legend that is James Dean Bradfield.

Muse - Absolution

Kasabian - Kasabian - declined since their first album imo.

System of a Down - Toxocity

Ash - 1977

Victorian English Gentlemen's Club - self titled - Band i got in to whilst living in Cardiff. They only have a local rep but they are awesome.

Rage Against the Machine - tbf, all their albums are amazing but a shout out to Battle of Los Angeles. A incredible achievement considering how good their first album was. After Evil Empire, i don't think people thought they could improve, how wrong they were!

The Enemy - We live and die in these towns - the band the Artic Monkeys wish they were.

...well i am an OAP CE!

Far too many to mention. I suppose it all depends on the mood I'm in. Stand out albums for me though
Led Zep IV
Black Sabbath Vol 4
Levelling The Land - The Levellers
Sgt Peppers - The Beatles
Dark Side Of The Moon - Pink Floyd
Sheer Heart Attack - Queen

The Breeders - The last splash
Great drums, great guitar and the wonderful Kim Deal on vocals

Some good stuff here, but I will go down a more rock route.....

Within Temptation - Silent Force
Slipknot - Iowa

Cradle of Filth - Midian (although Nymphetamine is class too)
Pantera - Vulger Display of Power
Pantera - Cowboys From Hell

Epica - Classical Conspiracy
Disturbed - 10 Thousand Fists

Some favourite albums not mentioned in this thread ...

Meddle - Pink Floyd

Kate & Anna McGarrigle

Maria Muldaur

Feeling Good - Nina Simone (bit of class)

Grievous Angel - Gram Parsons

Tubular Bells - Mike Oldfield

At the Drive-In - Relationship of Command Should have been the sound of the 21st century but they split up straight after
Glassjaw - Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Silence Bristling with anger, I've no idea what goes on in their heads
Green Day - Dookie Probably made me the person I am
Jawbreaker - 24 Hour Revenge Therapy Real "emo" from 1994, light years away from whingy modern rubbish like Fall Out Boy and My Chemical Romance
Jimmy Eat World - Clarity A faultlessly put together album
My Bloody Valentine - Loveless You either get it or you don't, probably my favourite band of all time
Nirvana - Nevermind - see Dookie
Pavement - Slanted and Enchanted Pure lazy, waster music, sounds especially awesome at this time of year
Pixies - Surfer Rosa Strangely, a great album without anything I'd really class as a brilliant song
Sex Pistols - Never Mind The b*ll*cks An album that changed everything
Suede - Dog Man Star A lot of Britpop sounds dated now but this is a brilliantly dark record
Sigur Ros - () The most thoroughly bleak and depressing hour of music you will ever hear in your life, but brilliant at the same time
Velvet Underground & Nico - it never ceases to amaze by how ahead of its time this sounds for something written in 1967

Dark Side Of the Moon - Pink Floyd.

Comminique - Dire Straits

Dummy - Portishead.

The Bends - Radiohead.

Thought of another one. Led Zeppelin fans might like this ...

Sonny Boy Williamson - Chess Masters

Love it!

I forgot this album. Don't know how, it's absolutely brilliant. I've never been able to get in to The Mars Volta though where most of their members went.

Maria Muldaur,now i heard that album playing in someones car once,and i was very impressed,now if i could only remember who's car it was?

Can't make my mind up about Volta, when they just go mental they're great, but a lot of their songs are pointlessly long and have too many lulls in them. They lack the spontaneity of ATDI

Few of my faves already mentioned :

Manics - "Holy Bible" My favourite album too Citizen Erased.

XWWB mentioned Dog Man Star. The classic of the Britpop era

and ATDI. Such a shame they split. Just about saw them from the entrance of a tent at Reading Festival in 2000 or 2001. Would love to have seen them properly. Not a big Volta fan. Saw them at Man Academy, one of only 2 gigs I've left early. The other being The Vines

I'd have to disagree with XWWB about My Chemical Romance. I think "Black Parade" is possibly the 2nd best album of the decade.

Behind Brand New' " Deja Entendu "

Bruce Sprinsteen " Born To Run ". The Boss at his peak. Doesn't get a lot better than ThunderRoad, Jungle Land, Back Streets

Beter than the debut album you think ? I do love both but Suede the album tops them all for me.

Hey! I love that 3mm,what album is it on?

You having a blond moment?

Just shades it for me Che although the big epics slowies Pantiomime Horse, Sleeping Pills are hard to beat.

I thought Coming Up was really good too.

GN i really am surprised you havn't put "Black Laces' Greatest Hit's" (Special Edition with added tracks and extended version of "Agadoo") on your list,it is always playing in your house when we've been around! In fact i always look foward to seeing Mrs Potts doing her regular "Superman" actions to that great song!

Dooooh!

You're a water sign, I'm an air sign
Gone gone to Valium, can you get me some?
You're a water sign, and I'm an air sign
Too Siamese to catch the leaves from those trees

Classic stuff,Suede not the same for me though after Bernard Butler left

Classic stuff indeed oyem. Sweet F.A to do today by the way ?

Not the same without BB but still good and cracking live band. Saw them a few times post Butler, best one being a fantastic farewell gig when they split.

nothing will ever top this album.

Blink 182 -dude ranch
The Atraris - End is forever
Taking Back Sunday - Notes from the past
The Movielife - 40 hour train back to penn
Third Eye Blind - self titled
Death Cab For Cutie - Transatlanticism
New Found Glory - Catalyst
Finch - What it is to burn
The Weakethans - left and leaving


I hate new music, all these albums are pre 2005

Death cab for cutie - I will possess your heart ....best bassline ever!!! all 8 and a half minutes of it.

Dog Man Star was awesome. I am a bit miffed that it has disappeared from Spotify.

Right now, Vauxhall and I by Morrisey is another one I can think of.

Almost any Manic Street Preachers album.

The Stone Roses - Fools Gold

Just a few to keep you going.

Good shout on Finch mate, class album that. Sadly they went severely downhill after that.

Chrisie! I havn't heard of any of those groups or the albums!

Being a 79 year old fart Ihave not heard or understood any of this musical noise ,If you cant whistle the tune its no good.

The Jam - Sound affects

Unc you'd love The Movielife. Next time I give you a lift home after a Chester game I'll stick it on the car stereo for you.

Prefer Blue Skies Broken Hearts myself mate. Finch's first album was immense, they seemed to disappear up their own arses a bit after that
