Another favorite music thread, but...

[Jumping_Over_Fences]

...I have decided to add little differences to the choices that you can make. Limitations if you will. I get tired of favorite band/album threads because there are too many choices for me to be comfortable with my selections.

Here is the deal: you will list your top seven (fives and tens are getting over done) favorite albums released since you started buying music. That will limit the years that you are allowed to make your selections and will eliminate the desire to include The Beatles, The Who, Led Zeppelin, etc. unless you are really old. So, what you need to do is include the first album purchased, no matter how embarrassing, and the year it was released, then your top seven. A Best of or re-release does not count, that is just cheating.

Remember, these are your favorites, they do not have to be the greatest of all time, just the ones that you enjoy the most.

My first album that I bought was either the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles soundtrack, or Vanilla Ice's Too the Extreme (remember I said no matter how embarrassing), both were cassettes and both were released in 1990.

1. The Dillinger Escape Plan - Miss Machine (2004)
2. Faith No More - Angel Dust (1992)
3. Refused - The Shape of Punk to Come: A Chimerical Bombation In 12 Bursts (1998)
4. Nine Inch Nails - The Fragile (1999)
5. Mindless Self Indulgence - Frankenstein Girls Will Seem Strangely Sexy (2000)
6. Gnarls Barkley - St. Elsewhere(2006)
7. Lovage - Music to Make Love to Your Old Lady By (2001)

[EscapeGoat_v1legacy]

In no particular order...

Scream Aim Fire - Bullet For My Valentine (2008)
The Black Parade - My Chemical Romance (2006)
The Poison - Bullet For My Valentine (2005) Also the first CD I went out and bought
Avenged Sevenfold - Avenged Sevenfold (2007)
A Sense of Purpose - In Flames (2008)
Knives - Aiden (2009)
Grey Britain - Gallows (2009)

I haven't been buying CDs for that long, really, but those stick out in my mind as being incredibly good CDs I bought.

I omitted the remastered Metallica albums I bought though, since the originals came out before I was born, let alone before I started buying albums, although I did buy the remastered versions last year.

 

[Sronpop]

4. Firewind - Allegiance [06]
5. Gojira - From Mars to Sirius [05]
6. Opeth - Still Life[99](just about makes it I think)
7. Control Denied - The Fragile Art of Existance[99] (because I was too late for Death)

In no particular order really.

Also, OP has good taste. Well done!

Thank you, I am glad to see someone else enjoys The Dillinger Escape Plan. I don't see too many fans these days. I was really debating over which to include, Miss Machine or Ire Works. I think Miss Machine won out because recently I have been listening to it more.

 

[messy]

Insomniac - Greenday (1995)
Panic Prevention - Jamie T (2007)
Age of the understatement - The last Shadow puppets (2008)
From Under the cork tree - Fall out boy (2005)

Sam's town - killers (2006)
Save world, Get the girl - The King Blues (2009)
Our earthly pleasures - Maximo Park (2007)

Yeah I have too, but Ire Works had such a profound effect on me that I always consider it to be the best, hence #1.

 

[superbleeder12]

Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Yanqui U.X.O. (2008)
Amesoeurs - Amesoeurs (2009)
We Made God - As We Sleep (2008)
My Bloody Valentine - Loveless (1996)
Sculptured - Emboidment (2008)
George Dorn Screams - O'Malley's Bar (2008)
Silversun Pickups - Swoon (2009)

mostly Shoegaze and Post-Rock. I hate these list threads because my favorite stuff is always changing.

 

[Nazulu]

Well this doesn't include me since I just lisned to all the CD's my Dad already owned.

See, that just makes sense.

 

[WeedWorm]

I cant remember the last CD I bought, let alone the first. Hell, I think Ive only bought less than a dozen albums for myself anyway. My brother normally bought Cd and Id listen to them, now I just download everything.

2. Lordi - Get Heavy
3. Disturbed - Indestructible
4. Lordi - Deadache
5. Rammstein - Mutter

I start out with something a little light, the middle makes sense together, and then the last one totally hits you outta no where =P I have erratic taste...

 

[Jumping_Over_Fences]

Don't you listen to any contemporary music? Have you ever bought an album? If you answered yes to any or all of these questions this thread is for you.
