I don't see a whole lot of music discussion here so I thought it'd be fun to see what everyone likes.

In no particular order for me:

Dream Theater - Metropolis Pt 2: Scenes from a Memory


Symphony X - The Divine Wings of Tragedy


The Mars Volta - Deloused in the Comatorium


Metallica - Master of Puppets


Tool - Ænima


For me it was a close call between Scenes from a Memory and Images and Words from Dream Theater. Otherwise the rest were pretty easy picks.

Edit: Added wikipedia links for more info on the albums.

Gotta be honest with ya, I've only heard of one of those albums.

1. Rush 2112.
2. Zepplin 4.
3. Queensryche Operation Mindcrime.
4. Stevie Ray Vaughn Texas Flood.
5. Jethro Tull Aqualung.

Which is odd because I just picked a random websites list of the top 100 progressive albums and here's what we hit between the 2 of us:

You:
10. 2112 (1976) - Rush
34. Aqualung (1971) - Jethro Tull
42. Operation: Mindcrime (1988) - Queensryche

Me:
20. Scenes from a Memory (1999) - Dream Theater
40. Aenima (1996) - Tool
43. The Divine Wings of Tragedy (1996) - Symphony X
53. De-loused In the Comatorium (2003) - The Mars Volta

So I'd say we are both progressive fans, though I lean more toward metal and you lean more toward rock I guess...

my favorite: seven day sonnet: reprisal
(this isn't the actual album cover, but it was the best i could find)




2nd favorite: Breaking Benjamin: phobia



3rd: Born of Osiris: The new reign



4th: Born of osiris: a higher place



5th: demon hunter: the triptych

1) Zep: Houses of the Holy
2) GNR: Appetite for Destruction
3) Radiohead: Fake Plastic Trees
4) Pearl Jam: Ten
5) Zep: 4

1.Pixies "surfer rosa"
2.Sublime "40 oz of freedom"

Oh boy this list goes on and on the more I start thinking about it...

Live at Luther is amaaaaaaaaaazing... I love Dave Matthews and his music with a passion! Great choice here. If i had to put up my top 5 albums, they would all be DMB!!!

Yo Pauly You like Darkside more than Animals?

Live at Luther is amazing. Can't believe I left that off my list! That's Dave at his best, and the songs I like the most!!

So true! I listen to that CD daily, because it has been in my CD player for months. I also listen to my ipod daily and about 90% of the songs on my ipod are DMB songs... I absolutely looove live at luther tho... Dave and Tim were on fire that whole night! Live at Radio City isn't too shabby either!

I honestly can't rate all of LED Zep to do them justice and I can't just list 5 of their albums as my top 5. So here goes:

Zep II
Roxy Music (self titled)
Police--Outlandos D'Amore
Nirvana-Nevermind
Elvis Costello--My Aim is Ture

Runners-Up:

Stone Temple Pilots-Purple
Beatles--Abbey Road
Neil Young-Harvest Moon and Decade
The Wall
Dark Side O the Moon
Back In Black
Talking Heads--Speaking in Tongues

If I were going to just pick a floyd album to listen cover to cover, DSOTM would be picked majority of the time. They are all right there, even Final Cut makes the cut. On a regular day the top 5 albums would all be assorted Floyd, but I figured I would mix it up. I only listed 4, so #5 would be Bob Seger's Stranger in Town

1)Appetite For Destruction-GUNS&ROSES
2)...And Justice for all-METALLICA
3)Cowboys From Hell-PANTERA
4)Ænima-TOOL
5)Lost and Found-MUDVAYNE

no particular order...

The Clash - London Calling
The White Stripes - DeStijl
The White Stripes - Elephant
Atmosphere - Seven's Travels

Last one probably Metallica but cant pinpoint just one album.

I can't even remember them all but heres a few..

















These albums contributed heavily to my current hearing loss and the fact that I have CRS.
