Favorite CD you've ever bought or had?

[stubbmann]

Either Heart On by the Eagles of Death Metal or A City Dressed In Dynamite by That Handsome Devil. Or maybe Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.

edit: OR Attack & Release by The Black Keys.

 

[AboveUp]

Queens of the Stone Age - Songs for the Deaf
One of those albums where I can't just listen to random songs, I have to hear and experience the entire thing.

I even memorized the radio announcements in between the songs.

 

[sneakypenguin]

Breaking benjamin- saturate or we are not alone here

 

[samsprinkle]

The Wall

 

[Jerious1154]

My top three are Pinkerton by Weezer, Twin Cinema by the New Pornographers, and Empire Strikes First by Bad Religion.

 

[Hunde Des Krieg]

Foo Fighters' the Colour and the Shape either that or Blue Oyster Cult's Fire of Unknown Origin, both albums are awesome

I love the colour and the shape.

But for my answer I'm gonna go with Somewhere in the Between by Streetlight Manifesto.

 

[ThaBenMan]

I can't decide between Clutch, Pure Rock Fury, or The Elephant Riders, all by Clutch. And I guess if I had to pick one not by Clutch, it would be Black Sabbath's Greatest Hits.

 

[Benny Blanco]

Rage Against The Machine by Rage Against The Machine, fucking phenomenal album, everyone should buy it its only £5

Thank God someone else agrees with me...

The most angry, funky and indescribably innovative album I could think of straight away.

Although I would like to nominate a list of honourable mentions:

Stankonia by Outkast
Sublime by Sublime
Hope by Non Prophets
Clandestino by Manu Chao
Give Me Convenience or Give Me Death by Dead Kennedys
Cypress Hill by Cypress Hill

 

[Aschenkatza]

Regina Specktor - Begin to Hope
Great CD, love it <33
Course, the World of Warcraft soundtrack CD's[all of them] are sweet as well, I'm more than glad I bought the expansion set just to get them. I know tons of people jealous of me because I get to listen to the Arthas, My Son song. =P I'm so weird

 

[MikeZealous]

Toss up between RHCP-By the Way and Common- Be

 

[bmf185]

I think the most memorable ones that brought me into the music that I like today would be:

Thrice - The Illusion of Safety
Ben Folds - Ben Folds Live
Avenged Sevenfold - Sounding the Seventh Trumpet (yeahhh back in the day)
Poison the Well - The Opposite of December
Something by Clutch
RCHP - Californication

The Wild, The Innocent, and The E-Street Shuffle by The E-Street band

Good choice. But for me, Nebraska.

 

[colourcodedchaos]

I'd hafta say Boys And Girls In America, by The Hold Steady. Or, then again, Asleep In The Back, by Elbow, or possibly Damien Rice's 9. Depends what mood I'm in.

 

[Mr_Vorhias]

Super Taranta!!! by Gogol Bordello, because I went to such great lengths to find a physical copy to buy, and the spoils were all the sweeter for it.

 

[shadow_pirate22]

I got a CD of an orchestral Smash Bros. concert in an issue of Nintendo Power. I like it a lot.

Damn. Beat me to it. Other than that, I love my Metroid Prime & Fusion Soundtracks (2 discs, 1 case) or My complete System of a Down + Elect the Dead + Scars on Broadway collection. Complete FOR NOW...

 

[StormRain]

Iced Earth's Ghettysberg CD. it's only 3 tracks, that link together into a 35+ minute song, and it's absolutly amazing.

 

[Eclectic Dreck]

It's difficult to judge. I'm tempted to say "Drunken Lullabies" by Flogging Molly. A close runner up is "Sing Loud, Sing Proud" by The Dropkick Murphys.

In general though my favorite album tends to vary based on my particular mood at the moment. My favorite albums in no particular order would be:

"American Idiot" - Greenday
"Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables" - Dead Kennedys
"Fight With Tools" - Flobots (this one surprised me to no end)
"London Calling" - The Clash
"Drunk Enough to Dance" - Bowling For Soup
"You're Awful, I Love You" - Ludo
"War on Errorism" - NOFX
"Fading American Dream" - Street Dogs

And that's based on their play frequency according to my media player.

 

[mrsginnytaylor]

The White Album by The Beatles
Century's Child and Dark Passion Play By Nightwish (The best of old and new singer)
Funhouse by Pink
Heart of Everything by Within Temptation

 

[MRMIdAS2k]

Def Leppard - Hysteria

 

[Anarchemitis]

Sim City 3000 Unlimited. It came on a CD because the entire game was less than 120MB. And then it cracked..
Man, I totally got my $35 worth out of that game.
