Add

Cradle of Filth - Cruelty and the Beast (a metal masterpiece)
Metalica - Master of puppets, kill 'em all, ride the lighting, Load

Guttermouth - Live at the pharmacy
NOFX - I heard they suck live

Operation Ivy - Self titles
U2 - Joshua Tree
Bon Jovi - Slippery when wet, New Jersey
Cold Chissel - Dunno the album name, my favourite Aussie band though
Nirvana - Nevermind
Led Zeppelin - can't remember the name of the album
Credence - Greatest hits

All these I have listened to from start to finish a thousand times and all were absolute favourites at one time or another in my life..

But my peice de resistance, my favourite album of all time is definetly....

....*.*.*.*.*..drum roll..*.*.*.*....


Nirvana - Unplugged in New York.....

A masterpeice of live music.... An album that should never have worked, but is stunning from the first second to the last.... Through a $2000 headphone setup, I can sit in that room with Nirvana, for an hour, every single night and feel every rise and fall of energy in that performance and hear every single naunce.. Pure heaven...

That'll be a stayer for as long as I live.

CC thats a damn good list (except for the Metallica - I must be the only metal fan who doesn't like them. Musically they're ok, but I don't like Hetfields voice or lyrics that much. I don't hate them or anything, just not a big fan).

Unplugged in NY is a fucking amazing album, but I was trying to limit myself to one album per band and I feel In Utero captures the essence of Nirvana better than any other recording. Unplugged is amazing though, its my favorite vocal performance of all time. Its actually the album that awakened my love of music. I remember sitting on my uncles couch when I was about 12, 13 and he put that cd on and it just enthralled me, I had never heard someone sing like that before, with so much emotion in his voice. In many ways its a perfect eulogy for K. Cobain, may he rest in peace.

Good lists. It's funny I could never stand Nirvana, though they really brought a new element to the scene that seemed so original. I used to love Metallica but it's getting old now. Load was the last great album they made, and there were some great songs on Metallica, but Ride the Lightning or Master were my favorites. Alice in Chains was a great band and Dirt was a masterpiece IMO. And Soundgarden was a huge band for me, love the song 1000 Years Wide off their awesome album Badmotorfinger. Deftones are one of the least appreciated bands out there and have been every album. If you haven't listened to White Pony you're missing something; Passenger{with Maynard form Tool} and Knife Party are 2 of the best damn songs IMO. The Carpenters are a favorite for me My mom used to listen to them alot; along with The Doors. Down, especially Nola. Credence Clearwater Revival are another favorite. Depeche Mode, The Cure and INXS I loved, and has been mentioned already, Joshua Tree is an amazing album, a timeless work that really sounds as good today as it did 20 years ago.

I agree, Around the Fur was an awsome album too. They were great live, Maynard actually came out and did Passenger with them at the show I saw (A Perfect Circle was supposed to play too, but the drummer's (I think it was the drummer's) dad died the night before or something, so they cancelled.
