but also (not quite as good)
Metallica - Load
Motorhead - Overnight Sensation
Might be able to add comfort in sound there soon. Haven't got it yet - I like Feeder a lot so it probably would be.
Oasis - Heathen Chemistry
Eminem - The Eminem Show
D12 - Devis Night
All Global Underground albums
Trance 'n Bass (Free with this months Mixmag)
Classic tracks.
If you've heard it it wont need an explanation, of you havan't words will not be good enough.
Also mentions :
Sneaker Pimps first album (i never said i was good with names)
The Cure : Disintergration
NIN : The downward Spiral
Prodigy : Music for the jilted generation
Portishead : Dummy
And lots more... but they are the ones that spring to mind
ozzy osboure-no more tears is brilliant.
ozzy again-ozzmosis(which i only heard when my cousin bought it for my friend then i got a copy of it---class album)
Nirvana-Nevermind.
Loads more but cant think now.
and i this isnt gonna go down well i can tell and i really dont mean it in the patronising way that its inevitably gonna sound, but on reading most of your answers (i say most, not all), you wouldnt know a great album if it came up and hit you between the eyes with a sledgehammer....
i mean blink 182???? please!!!! i am not saying that you cant like them or listen to, each to their own, but to suggest that enema of the state is the greatest album ever????? im sorry but no. a truly great album is an album that is truly of timeless genius and quality... will blink 182 still be listened to in 10 years? i sincerely doubt it, never mind 100 or even 1000 years.....
a truly great album is one that explores terretory noone has explored before, territory that it hasnt even occured to anybody else to explore.
offspring??????????? oh dear. exactly what have they contributed to the progression and evolution of music? as far as i can see, fuck all.
as i said previously, i am not suggesting that people who like these groups should stop listening to them, but to suggest that they have made the greatest albums of all time would be bordering on blasphemy!
if we are talking purely within a rock/pop context, then there are sadly very few people who have made truly inovative original breathtaking works of genius that in my oppinion could qualify to be considered for the greatest albums of all time.....
the beatles are the obvious choice, their influence is still very strongly felt by musicians today and will be for a long time to come, and their music is truly timeless....
there are others but sadly they are few and far between....
im not suggesting that no modern music can be considered great, far from it. but the examples mentioned here for the most part would not even nearly qualify....
you may dissagree with me now but come back in 10 years from now and tell me if your still listening to blink 182 enema of the state. i sincerely doubt you will be.
please dont flame me as this is purely my own personal oppinion, and as i said i dont mean to sound patronising, i tried hard to express it in a non patronising way but it didnt really work.... sorry about that i dont mean to be, and as i said by all means, listen to what you want, each to their own and all that. i just strongly dissagree with your definition of a great album.
thats all.... dont flame me too much!

blood sugar sex magic is a good album. in fact, if you put it in the context of modern rock music, its a fantastic album. but if you look at the bigger picture and compare it to TRULY great music.... im talking about the real greats.... classical music greats like bach and mozart (to name the two most obvious ones), jazz greats like miles davis, john coltrane, charlie parker, cannonball adderley, jaco pastorius, pop greats like lennon and mccartney..... its just a different league all together.....
of course, as you said, its all oppinion, and if people only listened to truly great music, they would have a very small cd collection indeed!
catch ya's all later dudes

thats my favorite anyway, the "greatest ever album" or whatever would probably be Appetitie for Destruction or Led Zep IV
That is indeed a classic album .... but how about these two ....
Faith No More -- Real Thing
and
Prodigy -- Experience
Prodigy- Experience
What an album! Will always be a classic because of 'Charly'.
Charly is indeed top ... and probably the tune that was responsible for my morph from head banging metaller to hardcore club monkey ...... but my favorite from the album is "Your Love" ..
Guaranteed to get any party bouncing
Oh yeah and I know they're new and a lot of people slate it, but I really like Camino Palmero by the Calling.
And ANYTHING from Bon Jovi!
Pixies - Doolittle
Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream
Weezer - Pinkerton
Radiohead - OK Computer
Jeff Buckley - Grace
There's five for you, but it's the eternal question really isn't it?!
