I'm really not one for entire albums as I typically only find a couple songs by any given artist to have any lasting appeal. That said, the below five albums are ones I've heard countless times and still enjoy to this day:

Green Day: Dookie
Green Day: American Idiot
Blink 182: Enema of the State
Sum 41: Underclass hero
Barenaked Ladies: Stunt

 

[Chefodeath]

Honestly, I couldn't say. I don't usually listen to songs in album order, just randomly. I'll tell you one thing though, Sgt. Pepper's is definately at the top of that list. And that's not my subjective opinion either. 2+2=4, gravity keeps the planets orbiting, and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band was one of the greatest albums of all time.

 

[Hip Priest]

Scott Walker - Tilt
Genesis - Foxtrot
The Fall - Perverted by Language
Miles Davis - In a Silent Way
Tortoise - Millions Now Living Will Never Die

 

[Googenstien]

Been so long since I thought of shit like this.. but these are albums that I can listen to a few times in a row nonstop and have been for years.

Jawbreaker - UnFun
Rocket From The Crypt - Circa Now!
Frank Zappa - Hot Rats
Minor Threat - S/T
Radiohead - OK Computer

 

[pixilizations]

Avenged Sevenfold-Avenged Sevenfold
U2-How to dismantle and atomic bomb
Green Day- American Idiot
Deadmau5-For lack of a better name
Hollywood Undead-Swan Songs

 

[KefkaCultist]

Ugh, tough decisions here...

#) Album - Band
1) Take to the Skies - Enter Shikari
2) Imaginaerum - Nightwish
3) Number of the Beast - Iron Maiden
4) Hellbilly Delux 2 - Rob Zombie
5) Space Vampires Vs Zombie Dinosaurs in 3D - Psychostick

These are in no particular order and are very susceptible to change.

 

[Whateveralot]

This is pretty hard for me as I hardly ever pay attention to albums as a whole. BUT, 5 is not the hardest number to get to, so here we go:

5: Exits - The Boxer Rebellion

Why? Because it's a very dark, gritty but still satisfying album. My favourite song of this album probably is "Lay me down".


4: Absolutes Barcelona

Very hard to find album and the band never gets half the attention they deserve. Lots of great songs on this album. I like to reference to them as "Explosions in the sky with vocals", which is not entirely true, but for songs like "please don't go", it certainly is.


3: Pablo Honey Radiohead

Their legendary first major hit album, released back in 1993, the music still holds up to current day (indie) standards. My favourite songs are Lugree, Thinking about you and of course: Creep.


2: These Hopeful Machines - BT

BT is a very inspiring artist. This amazing, fast-paced and very happy sounding album has loads of song I simply can't stop listening to. Every other way, The light of things, The unbreakable, etc.


1: Eyes Open - Snow Patrol

This album has my favourite song of all time on it. Chasing cars. That, plus a lot of the other songs. Set the fire to the third one, shut your eyes, the finish line, etc. are just a bunch of my favourites specifically from this album.

 

[Mr Somewhere]

Top five eh? Now that's a hard pick...

Talk About Weather - Red Lorry Yellow Lorry

Acid Bath - Alien Sex Fiend

Union Cafe - Penguin Cafe Orchestra

Low - David Bowie

Q:Are We Not Men? A:We Are Devo! - Devo

 

[El Luck]

By using Windows media player, I can do this easy!

1) System of a Down - Mezmerize (Every song is great)

2) Serj Tankian - Elect the Dead (Every song is great except Beethoven's C***)

3) Green Day - American Idiot (whatever you say media player... I guess it's good)

4) Snow Patrol - Final Straw (#Light up, light up. As if you have a choice. even if you cannot hear my voice, I'll be right beside you dear...#)

5) System of a Down - System of a Down (All good-great songs except: know, spiders, soil and P.L.U.C.K. #SUGAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!!#)



according to captcha my stability is at level 2 - code word: tsmusta

Blasphemy! P.L.U.C.K and Spiders are brilliant!

Anywho...top 5..ok well..uhh in no particular order because to choose a favourite would be difficult

1) System of a Down - System of a Down.
Favourite songs off of the album - Sugar, War?, Spiders

2) Machine Head - Through the Ashes of Empire
Favourite songs off of the album - Imperium, Descend the Shades of Night, Wipe the Tears, In the Presence of my Enemies

3) Strapping Young Lad - Its a toss up between City and The New Black. I can't choose...oh and Alien. Can't forget Alien.
Favourite songs off of these albums - Room 429, Love?, Oh my Fucking God, Wrong Side, Far Beyond Metal, All Hail the New Flesh, We Ride, Detox, AAA, You Suck

4) The Misfits - Static Age & Walk Among Us
Favourite songs off of these albums - Braineaters, Astro Zombies, Mommy can I go out & Kill Tonight?, Hatebreeders, Last Caress, T.V Casualty, Return of the Fly, Skulls

5) Zimmers Hole - When you were shouting at the Devil...
Favourite songs off of the album - When you were shouting at the devil... we were in league with Satan, Devil's Mouth, The Vowel Song, Anonymous Esophagus, We rule the fucking land.

I know that thats more than 5 but choosing specific albums from SYL and The Misfits is hard damnit. Don't get me wrong it was hard with Machine Head too but Through the Ashes is my favourite one by them.

 

[Johnnydillinger]

1. Deftones - Around The Fur (probably the best album of all time ever)
2. Refused - The Shape of Punk to Come: A Chimerical Bombination in 12 Bursts (unforgettable)
3. Nadja - Corrasion (the remastered one, the old one's good too but this one takes the cake)
4. Indian Jewelry - Sangles Redux (yeah, it's a compilation of their older songs but damn, I love their early stuff)
5. VArous Artists - The Lotus Eaters (this is a Dead Can Dance cover album and I can't get enough of it like, ever)

BONUS: Nurse With Wound - Salt Marie Celeste (once I fell asleep listening to this hour long song on a long bus trip; absolutely terrifying and hypnotizing, kinda like the Nadja song Numb. You owe yourself that sweet nightmare...)

 

[Foxpack1]

In no particular order:

Alter Bridge- Blackbird
Fit for Rivals- Steady Damage
Breaking Benjamin- Phobia
Black Eyed Peas- Monkey Business
Evanescene- Fallen

 

[dragonsshunter]

These are my favorite full album, not so much favourite band. In no particular order:

Between the Buried and Me - Colors
David Bowie - The Man Who Sold the World
The Gathering - Home
Justice - ? (cross)
Lady Gaga - The Fame Monster

 

[Rooster893]

This is mighty difficult, and i've actually been thinking for a good amount of time about this. While i probably missed a few glaringly obvious choices in my mind, this is what i've come up with

Nirvana - Nevermind
Gorillaz - Demon Days
Beck - Mellow Gold
De La Soul - 3 Feet High and Rising
Beastie Boys - Ill Communication

Good choices brother, especially Beck and Nirvana.

 

[kcjerith]

No Order

Receiving the Gift of Flavor - The Urge
Dark side of the Moon - Pink Floyd
Bone Machine - Tom Waits
40oz. to Freedom - Sublime
The Downward Spiral - Nine Inch Nails
The Mollusk - Ween

This list is me shooting from the hip, so if I gave it more thought it could change, but I am ok with this list at the moment.

Edit Ooops, had to have a Ween album on my list! And yes, I know my list now has six albums

 

[kcjerith]

1. Deftones - Around The Fur (probably the best album of all time ever)
2. Refused - The Shape of Punk to Come: A Chimerical Bombination in 12 Bursts (unforgettable)
3. Nadja - Corrasion (the remastered one, the old one's good too but this one takes the cake)
4. Indian Jewelry - Sangles Redux (yeah, it's a compilation of their older songs but damn, I love their early stuff)
5. VArous Artists - The Lotus Eaters (this is a Dead Can Dance cover album and I can't get enough of it like, ever)

100% agree with your Deftones choice, an amazing album.
