ahhh this thread is awesome, so much good music <3 <3

 

I'm only going to say one :

Dream Theater - Metropolis, Pt. 2: Scenes From a Memory.

I would rate many more albums as 10/10 but if I put them against Metropolis Pt. 2 it just doesn't seem as good so that's the only perfect concept album for me.

 

I agree with like 90% of what has already been listed, so I won't create my own, but Im glad to see that we have a great sense of music!

 

For convenience am leaving it to non-classical and off that note, going to seem like a paltry list as I'm still trying to expand my non-classical tastes...

For Emma, Forever Ago - Bon Iver
Bon Iver, Bon Iver - Bon Iver
Let England Shake - P J Harvey
Unknown Pleasures - Joy Division
High Violet - The National
In the Aeroplane over the Sea - Neutral Milk Hotel
Airbag / How Am I Driving? - Radiohead
Hail to the Thief - Radiohead
In Rainbows - Radiohead
( ) - Sigur Rós

I just finished listening to Rid of Me by Pj Harvey and it's one of the most abrasive album I've ever heard.

 

As of recent, would probably add this to my list:

The Coroner's Gambit - the Mountain Goats

 

Speaking of the Smiths, I'll add Hatful of Hollow to my list. More of a compilation album than a bona fide 'studio album,' but it flows and coheres so well musically and thematically over its four sides that it's actually better than any of their four albums. HoH features half of the self-titled's songs in superior rerecorded versions, along with some more of the very best songs the band ever did. I don't consider myself a huge Smiths fan, but HoH has taken up a surprisingly large proportion of my listening time over the past couple of years.

 

Wouldn't consider it my very favorite, though it comes close, agree it's a fine album. Generally have been wary of 'compilation' albums but liked how Hollow is a good mix of non-LP material [if that term makes sense...] along with significantly different versions of LP songs, like you mentioned. Very few songs on there which I felt neutral about.

 

Bright Eyes - I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning
Brand New - Deja Entendu
The 1975 - The 1975
Vampire Weekend - Modern Vampires of the City
Bastille - Bad Blood
Panic! At the Disco - A Fever You Can't Sweat Out
- Too Rare To Live, Too Young To Die
Lorde - Pure Heroine
Arctic Monkeys - Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not
- AM

Just to name a few

I have others that are close, and may hit 10/10 on certain days

I'm seeing some Floyd here, that's good.

My 3 favorite Pink Floyd albums are as follows:

1. The Wall (easily)
2. Dark Side of the Moon (I don't know why nobody's mentioned this one, yet)
3. Pulse

In my opinion, Pink Floyd were true masters at putting together an album as a whole, and then definitely put on amazing, hypnotizing live performances. I haven't heard Division Bell yet, but I'm excited for their new one coming out. I'm also seeing Animals on some people's favorites lists, so I'll check that one out as well.

The rest of the albums that are just about as good are:

Who's Next - The Who
Who Are You - The Who (probably their most underrated album)
Quadrophenia - The Who

Moving Pictures - Rush
Permanent Waves - Rush
2112 - Rush
Clockwork Angels - Rush

Esc4p3 - Journey

There are a lot of good albums out there, but I honestly think those are the ones I could listen to on loop forever, and not really worry about being annoyed or bored with the music.

 

Amy Winehouse - Back to Black
Blink 182 - Blink 182
Eddie Vedder - into the wild
The Fray - how to save a life
Green day-american idiot
Janis Joplin - pearl
Jeff Buckley - Grace
Led Zeppelin - IV
Motley crue- red, white and crue
Muse - not sure which album
MCR - the black parade
nirvana- nevermind
pink - missundaztood
Pink floyd- Animals
Pink floyd - DSOTM
Pink floyd - WYWH
Radiohead- ok computer
Sigur ros - agaetus byrjun
Sigur ros - untitled
Yes - close to the edge

Also adding:

Realise this is an odd choice, at least from among all his albums I've heard so far, but it's grown on me quite a bit in the last week or so and feel I could listen to it at any given moment.

 

Permanent Waves - Rush
On a Storyteller's Night - Magnum
