Before continuing, please take time to read my disclaimer:
This list consists of full albums that
I've listened to.
Top 100 lists of tunes are kind of wasteful. Almost every band is known for one tune that's awesome to one person or another. But how many have an album that you think is perfect? Think about it... Think of albums that are near perfect, but have that one song that just annoys the hell out of you. Phish's
Junta is @!$#ing incredible, but I've always disliked
Union Federal, so this album doesn't quite make my top 5.
I'm sure there's plenty of sick albums that aren't on my top five list, but I probably haven't gotten around to them. For instance, I haven't gotten around to the Beatles yet. Weird, isn't it? Don't hate me - I simply haven't ventured over to their music. You'll also notice that "greatest hits" aren't on my list. It's too easy for me to list Cream's
Strange Brew, or Nirvana's
MTV Unplugged. Damn good albums, but they collectively gather tunes over a band's history.
Here's my top five list, which was derived from any full album I can remember listening to thus far in my life. Check back later if you want, cause it may change if I remember forgotten favorites. The list is in chronological order. The date represents the year of the recording. The links will take you to Wikipedia. Enjoy:
If your top 5 aren't on my list, my birthday won't be here until April. Fortunately, I accept gifts year round.
