    von... I hope that " :mad: " aimed at London Calling wasn't suggesting there's something wrong with the album... :eek:

    Hmm honestly can't pick a best album but London Calling by the Clash and Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd are definitely up there... ya I know liking punk and Pink Floyd is supposed to be a paradox big enough to cause a rift in the space time continuum that would get Scotty running for some dylithium crystals, but phuck it :) Also Jailbreak by Thin Lizzy.

    Metallica - Black Album


    Tough choice really but heres why:

    1. I know (most of) the words to all of the songs. Other albums I love but can't say each song has had an impact on me.

    2. I can listen to it no matter what mood I'm. Some Rock/Metal I can only listen to at a certain volume or in a certain circumstance.

    3. I never feel I'm imposing on my mates when I play it. People who don't like rock get pi$$ed off with other stuff but always appreciate a bit of the Black Album.

    4. I love music that provokes an emotional response in me. Some makes me angry, some sad etc. The Black Album has not just one emotion to it but loads.

    5. I normally get bored with an album after awhile, never with the black album.

    6. Its probably the album I listen to most which means even if I don't know it, that its my favourite I reckon.

    Close Runner Ups btw:

    Nirvana - Nevermind
    Guns N Roses - Appetite For Destruction
    Rage Against The Machine - Rage Against The Machine
    Korn - Korn
    The Band - Songs From Big Pink (OK, its not rock, sorry)
    The Pixies - Death of the Pixies





    I'm a little persuaded by the other posts, but not that much.

    - "Surfer Rosa/Come on pilgrim" by the Pixies
    - "Complete 'B' Sides" by the Pixies (2 cool neil young covers on it)

    How can Korn Possibly earn the the slot for "Best Rock album ever"? So...Korn can compete with GnR, Led Zeppelin, Queen, Hendrix, Pink Floyd or AC/DC?

    Trust me. The Spice Girls are more likely to be considered a better rock band than Korn.

    My Dying Bride - Turn Loose The Swans
    Cradle Of Filth - Dusk... And Her Embrace

    It would be those two albums that really got me into music in a big way, so I'm picking those because they're quite relevant to me.

    I'd have to go with appetite for destruction too, how much more rock could you get that that album? Strangely I don't like any of G-N-R's other albums.

    I think the Iron maiden album 'Killers' would be up there too.

    I noticed some people have listed metal albums, shame on you!

    And there's always the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert which was released on CD for a limited time. I wish I got a copy.
