Wtf? What's wrong with King Crimson? Their debut is excellent.

EDIT: Oh never mind, I get it now.

I feel I may have strayed from my favorites for general best... but favorites have always been very hard for me to pick. Would have been better as a list of "These Albums Are Awesome".

Wow I haven't checked this thread in a bit. Anyway, what's wrong with you people?

BEST = FAVORITE.

People are picking albums based entirely on influence, which is exactly what you WEREN'T supposed to do in this thread. I wanna know what your favorite albums from each decade are, not what Rolling Stone says your favorite album of each decade should be or else it's fairly obvious that everybody's list will be

60's: Beatles
70's: Zep
80's: Metallica, Megadeth, or Iron Maiden
90's: Nirvana
2000: there's no such thing as good music after 1991.

Which is pretty much what half the lists in this thread turned out to be anyway. I mean come on, who the hell actually likes The Beatles because they sound good? Very few people. At least half of their fans just like them because they were influential. But influence just means they were the right band at the right time. They got lucky. That says nothing about how good they actually are.

Maybe people actually, uh, y'know, like those bands. Just a thought.

Serious advice now: No-one likes indecision in their work, so find what you like that you're even remotely good at, and stick with it. Don't flit from one thing to another, because that just smacks of a large lack of determination and drive. And people don't like you for that, and won't remember you for it. I mean, I get that you have a plucky spirit and a willingness to try new things, but there's a limit, man.

I might knock it down to just Thursday and Friday.

evilpacman18 ... wat

I'm now laughing uncontrollably at this thread as well, but for an entirely different reason than killzonedout.

Sure, The Beatles were influential, but if they weren't REALLY FUCKING GOOD, do you think people would have been influenced by them? It then follows that if they were/are REALLY FUCKING GOOD, lots of people are going to enjoy listening to them. Why do you think nobody has really named brokeNCYDE as an influence?

Jesus Christ, pull your head out of your ass.

Abbey Road is better than most stuff from the 60's anyways, despite the fact that Here Comes The Sun and Polythene Pam are on it. The Beatles apparently sounded good to a vast majority of the people who bought the >1 billion albums they sold so clearly they must have done something right.

Ok, let's try this.

60's - Tie between
- In the Court of the Crimson King - King Crimson
- Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band - The Beatles

Runner up
- Axis: Bold As Love

Oh my gosh, I like albums that happen to be really popular and influental! Oh noez!

70's - Master of Reality - Black Sabbath
Runner up - 2112 - Rush

Master of Reality has tons of AWESOME songs on it. Sweet Leaf, Lord of this World, Into the Void, Children of the Grave... Love it. 2112 is definitive Rush, and it's epic. The songs besides the title track are really good too.

80s - Moving Pictures - Rush
Runner up - Appetite for Destruction - Guns N' Roses

I grew up hearing Moving Pictures all the time, and still hear it all the time, due to it being played in my house ALOT. Even if I hadn't have heard it all the time, it would still be one of my favorites, because it's awesome. Also AfD is just cool.

90s - Images and Words - Dream Theater
Runner up - Rust in Peace - Megadeth
Also - Focus - Cynic
Also Also - Jar of Flies - Alice in Chains
Images in words is my favorite DT album, and DT is one of my favorite bands, so yeah. Rust in Peace got me into "heavier" music, sort of. Both are really good albums, imo. And Cynic is awesome also. As is AiC.

00's - Tie between Crack the Skye and Blood Mountain - Mastodon

Runners up
- Deadwing or In Absentia - Porcupine Tree
- Lateralus - Tool
- Day and Age - The Killers

Lots of cool Prog rock/metal albums that I love to death. Yay for cool modern prog stuff. Even though Mastodon is only vaguely proggy, whatever. And The Killers are awesome when you don't want something so... complicated.
