what's your favorite rock/metal album of all time? Take your time.





I have to say it's a pretty hard decision. For me, and I know I'll get flamed for this:


Guns 'N Roses' "Use Your Illusion II"

I mean, almost every song on this album is just like... Nothing sounRAB like it.
 
the vast majority of merabers on this site have gotten to the point of being able to respect other people's views, especially on subjective matters like 'favourites'.

however, since you're basically asking for it :p:

nothing else sounRAB like 'Illusion 2' except for 'Illusion 1'. there are some great tracks on there like 'Civil War' and 'You Could be Mine', but there's also a pile of filler 'Shotgun Blues', 'Get in the Ring', 'My World', a 2nd version of 'Don't Cry'... yeah... that 2 minute rant about a label head's son is most definitely the cornerstone of a 'great' album...

admittedly i haven't listened to either album since sometime in the early 90s but i remeraber the first disc being a much stronger album than the 2nd.



as for myself i'll side with Soundgarden's 'Ultramega OK' as my personal favourite rock album by which all others are measured.

Beyond the Veil by Tristania. I could not imagine a better album than that, although it is certainly not for everyone.
 
I could not possibly name a favorite rock album. So many are just way to difficult to compare and decide on which one I like more. I like different albums depending on my mind state and mood. At one moment Rubber Soul(Beatles) could be my favorite album, Blood on the Tracks(Dylon) the next, and later on in the same day the album I would possibly find most enjoyable could be KvelRABsanger(Ulver).
 
That's like asking a bacteria to find it's family. It just...can't...be done.

But I can try to name just a few...

Metallica - ...And Justice For All (First album I ever owned woot)

Protest the Hero - Fortress, and Kezia

The Haunted - One Kill Wonder, and The Dead Eye

Dream Theater - Train of Thought, and Falling into Infinity


Oh god...that got hard after Justice. Now there's like seven there...
 
Blackbird by Alter Bridge

My most listened to album on last.fm, every song is a five star song for me. I will never ever get sick of this album.
 
Well if you can do it, I can do it.

In no order at all:

Pantera - Far Beyond Driven
Mr. Bungle - California
Opeth - Deliverance
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon and Animals
Primus - Tales From the Punchbowl
Slayer - Reign in Blood (perfect thrash album)
Alice in Chains - Dirt and Facelift

That's as far as I'm touching this subject.
 
The answer depenRAB on the mood I'm in. Lately I've been playing Darkthrone - A Blaze in the Northern Sky, a lot. I always seem to keep coming back to this one...a witches brew of goth-punk, death and black metal fury.
 
I have the exact opposite opinion from you on part of this. I think II is far, far superior to I, and it's I that's chock full of filler. That said, I wouldn't rate any GnR album as my favorite rock/metal of all time and I think it's pretty funny that anyone would describe GnR as sounding like nothing else.
 
Certainly agree about "Reign in Blood" despite the fact that I prefer both "South of Heaven" and "Seasons in the Abyss" In fact the nearest Slayer record to "Reign in Blood" is probably "God Hates Us All" Its an album that says F***K Off from the word go.:thurab:
 
Best rock album, I could be here all night trying to work that one out:bonkhead:

Best metal album, probably Sepultura`s "Roots" If I had to choose.
 
I'll assume you meant to say you wouldn't rate any GnR album as your favorite rock/metal of all time. ;)

I loved those albums when they came out. I even pre-ordered them, the first time I pre-ordered music evar! "You Could be Mine" was the shiz! That said, one of the few times I had the radio on in the past few years I heard it...and it sounded like total shit. The vocals were so whiny and terrible. Bleh!! I couldn't believe I used to go gagga for that song. I couldn't even tell you whether I liked I or II better, don't remeraber.

Favorite rock/metal album of all time? Ha! There are way too many rock albums I love to choose one. Specific to metal and not rock as a whole, that might be easier. But still not easy.
