I personally don't think that Showbiz is their best work, they get better almost every album. I would have to consider Absolution their best work, Origin Of Symmetry is their second best.RanD00M said:

I can never decide with these things, so I'll just list a shithuge list of some of my favourites.
Skindred - Roots Rock Riot
Highlights: Roots Rock Riot, Rat Race, Rude Boy for Life (R overload, brzzzzzt), Killing Me.
Maximum the Hormone - Buiikikaesu
Highlights: Kuso Breakin Nou Breakin Lily, Black Yen Power G-Man, Chu Chu Lovely Muni Muni Mura Mura Purin Purin Boron Nururueroero. Actually, fuck it. The whole album. I love all the songs.
Jonathan Coulton's Thing a Week thingamajig
Highlights: Oh my gosh, there are so many. My most favourites would probably be Re: Your Brains, W's Duty, Bills, Bills, Bills, among many, many others. There are so many I can't really decide which to put here.
Diablo Swing Orchestra - Singalong Songs for the Damned & Delirious
Highlights: I was actually recommended this recently by an other Escapist (thanks, LS
) but I haven't really picked out any specific songs yet. If I had to, then I'd probably pick Tap Dancer's Dilemma, as that was the one I was linked to, and the one that made me get the whole album.
Clutch
Highlights: You may be thinking "What the fuck? Where's the name of the album?". Well, it isn't there, as I love all of Clutch's albums. If I had to pick my favourite album(s) out of all of them, they would probably be Robot Hive: Exodus and Pure Rock Fury.
Alestorm - Captain Morgan's Revenge
Highlights: This was an incredibly tough choice for me. Both Captain Morgan's Revenge and Black Sails at Midnight are great, in my opinion. In the end, I picked CMR just to pick something, but truthfully, to me, they're equal in greatness.
Of course, those are just the favourite albums of the artists I currently listen to. If I included old favourites, especially the band I've listened to the longest in my life (and, contrary to most old artists I used to listen to), I can still go back to: System of a Down, then I'd be here forever, even just because of trying to remember them all.

Define the Great Line - UnderOath
Album Highlights: A Moment Suspended in Time, There Could Be Nothing After This, Returning Empty Handed, and Writing on the Walls
Album Highlights: A Moment Suspended in Time, There Could Be Nothing After This, Returning Empty Handed, and Writing on the Walls
Murmur- REM
This my fave, I'm a massive REM fan
Funeral- Arcade Fire
Just really very good, a 21st century classic
Let it Be- The Replacements
The best punk album of the 80s and one of the first that wasn't afraid to have something approaching melodies.
Abbey Road- The Beatles
Its the fab four! While others may go for Sgt Peppers, I feel that this is the stronger set of songs.
Paul's Boutique- Beastie Boys
The album that made sampling an art form and showed the Beastie Boys were more than snotty rap-punks.
Fleet Foxes- Fleet Foxes
The prettiest album I've ever heard. Like aural honey.
Grievous Angel- Gram Parsons
Country+Rock=Country Rock, Gram Parsons was the master of it and dies before the release of this seminal album.
Nothing's Shocking- Jane's Addiction
Awesome licks, awesome everything else too. One of the finest alternative rock albums of all time.
Mellon Collie...- Smashing Pumpkins
Gorgeous in some places, ugly in others, always over indulgent and one of the best albums of the 90s.
Grace- Jeff Buckley
Jeff Buckley could sing like a ************, and he could write and play like one too. This album was his only one, but what an album.
Through the Windowpane- The Guillemots
Joyous, mischievous and a little OTT. Listening to it is never dull and often exhilarating.
Electric ladyland- Jimi Hendrix
Equally as good as Are yo Experienced until the last two tracks. Those last two tracks happen to be All along the Watchtower and Voodoo Chile, so yeah...
Forever Changes- Love
The album that foresaw the end of hippydom, piercing the dark heart of the fallacy of the whole movement. of course I didn't notice because it sounds so good.
Loveless- My Bloody Valentine
Simultaneously ugly and pretty, like nothing you've heard before or will hear again.
Pink Moon- Nick Drake
The recorded sound of Nick drake dying: beautiful and really, really bleak.
What's the Story morning Glory- Oasis
Its just awesome!
Doolittle- Pixies
A whole mess of unpleasant noises fashioned into a series of variously kickass and unsettling songs. Some are about pollution(?), some about crazy hispanics and some are about a Luis Bunuel film.
Rum, Sodomy and The lash- the Pogues
Everything that's awesome about the irish(drink, folk music, fighting, pubs) and punk all mixed together into one awesome album
The Bends- radiohead
You know its good, I don't need to explain it (Fake Plastic trees is enough to break your heart)
Let it Bleed- the stones
it has Honkey Tonk Women, Let it Bleed and You Can't Always get what you Want in one album. Its just a classic.
Tim- the Replacements
More bitchin' punk awesomeness from one of my favourite bands
The Queen is dead- the Smiths
more tender than the other Smiths albums and with a wider spectrum of instrumentation and greater ambition in all aspects.
Marquee Moon- Television
Like number two or three of my ranked list, the ten minute title track is enough to warrant it a place on any list. As it is, though, there isn't a bum not on the whole thing, every song is a lean, rocking show of utter virtuosity. Buy it now!
Superunknown- Soundgarden
The best Led Zeppelin imitation bands best album, and boy is it a good fucking album. the riffs are heavy, the singing soars and it actually works for them. it didn't last long.
Illinoise- Sufjan Stevens
An impossibly ambitious set from the indie munchkin full with weird and lush arrangements and even the odd piece of truly anthemic indie pop (Chicago). music this rare and brilliant needs to be cherished.
The Joshua tree- U2
It speaks for itself, its one of those albums where everything is practically perfect.
Loaded- the velvet Underground
Its the Velvet undeground without the weirdness and with better riffs, so its basically perfect.
XX- The XX
The most intimate album ever made, you can actually feel them singing in your ears like they're only inches away.
Odessey and Oracle- The Zombies
I've run out of steam now, but this album's just really good and has Time of the season on it, although my favourite song is Hung Up on a Dream
That's not in any particular order aside from roughly alphabetical (i went through my itunes library and picked all my favourite albums)
