In no particular order, my 5 favourite albums right now are:
Plastic Beach. Gorillaz.
It's message, or lack of, is what I like about it so much. By that I mean that it's a environmental-themed album that doesn't tell you to do this and don't do that. It also has a few damn good songs like Rhinestone Eyes and Cloud of Unknowing. Favourite song for message is definitely Superfast Jellyfish. Although I haven't really figured out the meaning of the others
. Musically, my favourite is Plastic Beach. For now anyway, they always change.
Dark Side of the Moon. Pink Floyd.
My first Pink Floyd album. I discovered them last year December and I absolutely adore them. I also like the Wall. The music and lyrics are brilliant. I have no favourite song because it's an outstanding concept album. It's one big song.
Discovery. Daft Punk.
The musicality is also what makes this album my favourite Daft Punk one. From the poppy One More Time to funky? Short Circuit, I love all the songs. It's heavy use of samples does not stir me away, they really use them well. I also like it for it's message about the music industry. Watch Interstella 5555. Did I mention that, that's the animated film that goes with it?
Prophet of the Last Eclipse. Luca Turilli.
A Power Metal album with a Sci-Fi theme. Set on Alkor Zephyr, it tells the down-fall of Arkan and the planet to the cold and his lover. The story is told through it's lyrics but of course, musically it's top too. My favourite Power Metal album, sorry Rhapsody.
Rust in Peace. Megadeth.
Hangar 18 and Peace Sells were my first two Megadeth songs. I have now branched out to many of their other ones but Rust in Peace stands out because of the songs' messages. Holy Wars...the Punishment Due is about religion and the Punisher. Yes the Marvel anti-hero! It also has Hangar 18, a song about aliens. And my favourite Rust in Peace...Polaris. Yes I do sing the chorus outloud to the confusion of my friends. "I SPREAD DISEASE LIKE A DOG!"
I haven't really listened to the Beastie Boys as an album so they're not up there.
