Post your top 5 rock albums of all time

[Steron]

A continuance of the Top 5 Rock Bands thread.

Mine are (no in order);

Guns N Roses - Appetite for Destruction
AC/CD - Back in Black
Metallica - Ride the Lightning
The Eagles - The Long Run
Van Halen - 1

I couldn't pick just one Rolling Stones album and I thought Hot Rocks was a cop out so I didn't include it.

I love everything I've heard from MM but I don't have all his albums including Anti-Christ Superstar so I can't speak to that one. I've heard some of it. I mis spoke naming GAoG. I meant Holy Wood. That was the first Manson album I bought and I probably have some extra affinity to it for that reason... however I do completely love it. I like that it's more raw than a lot of his other stuff including Mechanical Animals. I like that one too I just prefer the more raw sound over the more produced. I think Eat Me Drink Me is fantastic too.

get Antichrist Superstar and Portrait of An American Family - easily the most 'raw' and 'industrial' of his entire catalog. If you like Holy Wood, you will LOVE Antichrist.

Also, I can send you mp3s of the Pre-Reznor mixes of Portait - probably the most raw Manson you'll ever hear. PM me your email.

Mechanical Animals might be my favorite; it has grown on me to the point where I consider it an 'essential' album. It's like a David Bowie/Thin White Duke for the new frontier or somesuchshit. It's ahead of its time, at least for me; I bought ot the day it came out and I'm just now starting to catch up to it.

Guns N Roses Chinese Demacracy

Primus Pork Soda

Primus Sailing the Seas of Cheese

Primus Green Naugahyde

Buckethead has over 50 albums to chose that all are my favorites.

Thanks man! Mechanical Animals is very good. I listen to it from time to time. I have Smells Like Children, Holy Wood, GAoG, Mechanical Animals and Eat Me Drink Me.

I go back and forth on "Lightbulb Sun" and "Stupid Dream." Might depend on my mood.

For reals? I thought some of it was OK. IMHO, it can no way compete with Appetite.

The more I listen to it the more I love it. Appetite was is great I just love the new GNR line up & think it's better than anything. Oh yeah it has Buckethead.

1) metallica ride the lightning/killem all/master of puppets (pick 1)
2) led zeppelin II
3) black sabbath-paranoid
4) operation ivy - energy
5) sublime - 40 oz to freedom

or even the Illusions. I mean, I have the record, and some of it sounds like the Dracula stuff in Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

Dude's a bug Buckethead fan, and he's pretty wizard-y with the guitar. I saw him do the nun-chucks solo, shit's crazy. But it's more 'shredd-y' guitar than the bluesy guitars of Izzy and Slash. I prefer Izzy and Slash.

Would prefer the original GN'R, but can't shit on the new line-up, either. Liked Brain better than Farrer, but DJ Ashba is a badass, so...it's apples and oranges, ya know?? Some people dig it...

At the end of the day, The only 'shredder'-type guitarists I'm into would be like, Van Halen, Dimebag, Al DiMeola, etc.

"Russia on Ice" will bring you right back down.

[Cornstock]

Zep IV
Pink Floyd-Dark Side
Rush-Moving Pictures
Red Hot Chili Peppers-Californication

I really want to throw something more modern in there like White Stripes, The Killers, Radiohead, Muse, but I can't decide.

Nah, it picks up at the end. I do listen to Don't Hate Me about once a month. Flute/Sax solos they need more of.
