Recommend me an Album

[Snowpact]

Backspacer by Pearl Jam
Into The Wild by Eddie Vedder
The soundtrack to 'O Brother, Where art thou?'
Wicked Ways by Waylon (a dutch singer, but he's signed to Motown for a damn good reason)
The American Recordings (all six of them) by Johnny Cash

That should keep you busy for a while.

 

[The Unworthy Gentleman]

Puzzle by Biffy Clyro. Amazing band, amazing album. I don't see how you can't like the Scottish accent of Simon Neil, it's just too sexy.

 

[V TheSystem V]

Toxicity and Steal This Album! - System of a Down
Black Holes and Revelations and The Resistance - Muse
The Sufferer and the Witness - Rise Against
Phobia - Breaking Benjamin

 

[RanD00M]

Dark Side of the Moon is fantastic as well. I'm genuinely torn as to which I like better.

I actually prefer Dark Side of the Moon. But more people have heard of it, and more people need to listen to Wish You Were Here.

[chromewarriorXIII]

Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes From a Memory by Dream Theater is my absolute favorite album. It's got a couple of heavier songs in it, but it's really awesome. The entire album tells a story which is half the reason it's so awesome.

[Amalith]

Demon Days by Gorillaz
Jar of Flies by Alice in Chains
The Devil's Bris by Voltaire

Listen to these albums. Or just listen to anything by any of these artists. It's all* good.

*Save perhaps Plastic Beach by Gorillaz, but I really do love everything else by all of these guys, so listen to it. Also, even if you didn't like one of the albums I listened to, listen to a different one by the same artist, cause every album by all of these artists has a different sound. Slightly less for the Gorillaz.
