Vote for S&M - Metallica rsItems( 5) S&M - Metallica

A rare occasion where the live versions all sound better than the originals.

Metal Orchestra = Pure Genius

Rigney89

Metallica are an inspiration to all musical aspects, S&M blows your mind as it sets the scene for those who enjoy metallica, and for those orchestral fans, utterly amazing album with two amazing extra track... -human and No Leaf Clover


Vote for Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd rsItems( 6) Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd

This album was on the charts for like 100 years straight...it’s gotta be #1.

Timeless Classic.

lasky21

The music is amazing. The lyrics are amazing. The entire album flows together so well like one powerful song. Every track is good, there is no bad song on the album. This album has had one of the biggest impacts on rock music. It is most definitely one worthy of the greatest album of all time.

Madcap


Vote for A Night at the Opera - Queen rsItems( 7) A Night at the Opera - Queen

Really good music. All of the instruments have their shine at it. I can’t believe that Mariah Carey and Celine Dion are even on this list. Never mind the top 10.

shallowcal

Best album ever

george

What the hell is Heart? What the hell is Gackt? Michael Jackson is the only one that deserves to be anywhere near Queen.


Vote for Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band - The Beatles rsItems( 8) Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band - The Beatles

This album is the one that changed the face of music more than any other album. It virtually created the term "art rock" and brought rock to be respected. The innovation on this album led to practically every other album on this list. Whether it be the studio amazement on "Dark Side Of The Moon" or even the work with the orchestra on "S&M" The Beatles started it all here. If you wanna hear good work with an orchestra, then listen to "A Day In The Life." You’ll get some good playing there. Without Sgt Pepper, rock as we know it wouldn’t even exist.

why isn’t this number 1? heart is awful and gackt, I don’t know who he is. all I know is, when god said there needed to be a perfect album, sgt. peppers was made

pauler94

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If this was not in the top ten, I would lose it.
I love Sgt. Pepper.

I don’t understand what kind of people like metallica, Zoso got "Stairway to Heaven," "Rock And Roll," and "Black Dog." This album without doubt should be in the top three.

QuarantineGames

flawless

Vote for Number of the Beast - Iron Maiden 33) Number of the Beast - Iron Maiden

oh, I could name so many great things about this album no, masterpiece. and only 41st place? what a shame. invaders starts with an incredible riff and depicts the slaughters of the saxons in the olden days. #2 is about the movie"children of the damned"it is slow and melodic until a vocal genius by the name of bruce dickinson speeds up the tempo. the next two songs are nowhere near as amazing but still great. Then we get to the rock anthem"the number of the beast"which will knock any true metal lover of his/her feet. with a complex and insane riff followed by bruce dickinsons beautiful voice it is one of the most outstanding songs on this album. next is "run to the hills"with its remarkable drums which stands out over all of adrians glorious guitar work. now is my only problem with this album "Gangland"it is by all means not a bad song but it is so out of place in this wondorous album. finally is the single most influencial and beautiful and... oh just listen to it. it is call "hallowed be thy name"and starts of slow with bruces voice, almost a whisper in the background. it slowly builds up and up until BAM! the greatest guitar solo I have ever had the pleasure of listening to.

if you have taken the time to read all of this. you must be a fan of iron maiden or your really bored. either way

UP THE IRONS!

cyraxbot

This is the greatest metal album ever(yes, even better than Master of Puppets) and my personnal favorite album of all time. Hallowed be thy Name is without a doubt the best song on the album and the greatest metal song OF ALL TIME! Now this is a Masterpiece.

an amazing album in the top 5 most likely of all time albums...

An album that preceeded the greatest band in the world’s greatest album, a night at the opera. This album encompasses every genre that rock and roll truly is.

Vote for Violator - Depeche Mode 82) Violator - Depeche Mode

Depeche Mode was and is one of the most influential bands of all time, and with this album they reached their highest peak. Dave Gahan sang Personal Jesus like lost in the desert of his own consciousness, like a faithless plea of salvation and forgiveness, so deliciously alien, yet so familiar, that you felt the lyric of Martin L. Gore penetrating your very soul, I could go deeper and deeper on every song, as they’re as good as Jesus, but there’s a lack of space and time, so I’ll just close by saying: Listen to it, you won’t regret it.
