Essential Albums

What are some albums that you think that everyone should have in their collection, or at least have listened to.

I have two:

Damnation - Opeth

In Absentia - Porcupine Tree

"Kind of Blue" - Miles Davis. A classic album, essential, even if you're not a big fan of jazz.

The Downward Spiral - Nine Inch Nails

The Fragile - Nine Inch Nails

Year Zero - Nine Inch Nails

"Kind of Blue" - Miles Davis. Essential, even if you're not a big fan of jazz.

Although this is basically a name-your-favourite-albums thread, I'm going to recommend Less Than Jake's double album of both Hello Rockview and Losing Streak.

Disintegration and Pornography....both from The Cure.

London Calling by The Clash. That's really the only one I can think of( that hasn't been said already).

EDIT;I almost forgot about 'Truth and Soul' by Fishbone. Weehoo, what a great album! :D

Zen Arcade. Best album of the '80szepman71

Which is why that was my initial statement...but since he didn't leave it at that....*sigh* Don't try to fight battles that aren't yours. Word to the wise.;)

Jokes are jokes. Word to the stone faced ones.mmmd

No...jokes are things that have humor attached. Try it sometime....

First death metal album FTW!

Death - Scream Bloody Gore

"Pour Down Like Silver" Richard Thompson

"White Room" Cache Valley Drifters

"Culture Swing" Tish Hinojosa

"Loco Gringo's Lament" Ray Wylie Hubbard

I realize girls are more into guys with a sense of humor, but don't take your shortcomings out on me!mmmd

When attempting an insult it's wise to know the audience. I'm married already....you fail.

Now stop bothering me. :)

On topic....I'll add The Clash -- London Calling and Pearl Jam -- Ten

Both from Radiohead, OK Computer and The Bends.kornholio360

Also, the albums Love Over Gold by Dire Straits, and Layla and Other Assorted Love songs should be 'essential'.

I'm sorry neither you or the internet are conduisive to humor, but being such a downer really ruins things.mmmd

I don't like you :|

Disintegration and Pornography....both from The Cure.
