2Appetite For Destruction - Guns N' Roses

Welcome to the Jungle -> shows off exactly why this band is on top, all around top tier track

Night train -> awesome track gets you rollin

Paridice City -> just a fun song to listen to, quick beat and a catchy chorus

Mr Brownstone -> a great song with focus on addiction

Sweet Child O' Mine -> yeah its famous and a little overblown compared to some of their other songs, but its famous for a reason.

Your Crazy -> I like the Lies version better, but this one is still a lot of fun to listen to.

Rocket Queen -> highly underrated song, very I recommend this to anyone.

This list is a joke. The only top-10 albums that deserve to be there are A Beautiful Lie (30 Seconds to Mars), Thriller (MJ), and Nevermind (Nirvana). Where's American Idiot (Green Day), and The Dark Side of the Moon (Pink Floyd), and Led Zeppelin I?

I don't know anyone who doesn't like this album. Sweet Child O' Mine, Welcome to the Jungle, Nightrain, Paradise City, etc.

3Master of Puppets - Metallica

What metalhead wouldn't own this? None

list1010

definiately the greatest heavy album of all time (and as heavy is the greatest genre, logic demands that this is the best album)

Psykosauron

One of the greatest albums by one of the greatest bands om the history of music. Has the original Metallica feel to it. There's not a person in the world who wouldn't hear at least one song from it. If you don't own it - shame on you!

4Combat Rock - The Clash

Best Band, because they never betrayed theire way of thinking; I�'m not marxist, but I believe, like them, in a better world.. "Clash" means true politique

5HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I - Michael Jackson

IT HAS SOME OF MY FAVORITE SONGS
THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT US(THE BEST EVER)
YOU ARE NOT ALONE
SCREAM
EARTH SONG
CHILDHOOD AND TABLOID JUNKIE ARE BOTH EXCELLENT

6Another Music In a Different Kitchen - The Buzzcocks

7Nevermind - Nirvana

Some body screw this tasteless jerk with his tasteless followers of Pop Music. Where's The Beatles? Where's Pink Floyd? Where's U2? Invincible was Mj's biggest flop, Thriller is over rated and Who the heck is Sarah Brightman?

People people, where is dark side of the moon, thriller 1, it just makes me hate michael jackson even more, this is the greatest album of all time

Haha! Love Nirvana totally deserve to be in top ten, but should be no. 1, Oh well, whatever, NEVERMIND R.I.P. Kurt Cobain, you are god

8Abbey Road - The Beatles

the only Beatles album I own but it is a very good album!

idolangelx13

This is the Beatles best album. From Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds to Twist and Shout, the Beatles gave it their all for this album. The best songs that you'll ever hear are on this one single album!

Things like Abbey Road only happen once a hundred years, a thousand even. It is the finest work by the best musicians of all time.

9Led Zeppelin IV - Led Zeppelin

Every song is a super-song in this album. you have one of the greatest riffs, an adventure song, stairway to heaven, an easy catchy songs, a super drum song, etc...

10Inflammable Material - Stiff Little Fingers

The Contenders

11Like a Prayer - Madonna

12Nevermind the Bollocks - The Sex Pistols

13The Number of the Beast - Iron Maiden

Not the best maiden album. My personal favourite is piece of mind

If you are a metalhead or simply just diggin' Hard Rock and Heavy Metal in general, you need this album!

Better than the 12 above it. Better than the however many below it.

14Heaven Up Here - Echo & the Bunnymen

15Paranoid - Black Sabbath

If you call your self a true metal or rock fan, you have to own this album! How is all this pop and rap junk ahead of Black Sabbath? You people have know knowledge of music.

gibsonrock53

16Back in Black - AC/DC

really? 49 Million albums sold world wide and this is #31?

17Dive - Sarah Brightman

18Moving Pictures - Rush

Moving Pictures should be number 1, or number 2 if you wanna put 2112 ahead of it. It is only 3 guys playing instruments, unlike other bands or artists where they have a gazillion or are just 1 stand alone person who doesn't even write their own music. I'm not gunna say any names, but you know who I'm talking' about.

19All Mod Cons - The Jam

20The Wall - Pink Floyd

One of the greatest album of all time! An album that you have to listen to before you die

Absolute perfection. Truly shows the genius of Roger Waters in 2 discs. Mind-blowing.

If I could only keep one Album, it would have to be The Wall. Enough said!

21Van Halen - Van Halen

22Hybrid Theory - Linkin Park

What the best album all songs are good crawling won grammy and in the end the greatest rock song ever I have listen also the best band ever all the albums are very good chester's voice is out of the world

The Best Linkin Park Album

23True Blue - Madonna

24American Idiot - Green Day

Simply put, "THE PUNK ROCK OPERA" one and only

25Catch a Fire - Bob Marley

26Dark Side Of The Moon - Pink Floyd

Better than the top 3 albums combined. It's an amazing album and a classic.

fidelcanojr

I know that dark side of the moon is starting to feel like a bandwagon album but its easily Floyds best work.

Chris-1

It's a timeless classic and will never get old... It was on the charts for 15 years which is a record... I listen to it once almost every week... And is the best album to get high to!...

33A Night at the Opera - Queen

a lot of the Queen Greatest Hits (1) Album came from a night at the Opera

Queen-aholic

Not only about the greatest hits, but some hidden gems are in there, too! Seaside Rendezvous, Death On Two Legs, Lazing On A Sunday Afternoon, '39, Good Company... Fantastic! A must have.

Really a must have. Even my dad, who for some reason seems to have a grudge against Queen, has this album.

51Tu Veneno - Natalia Oreiro

52The Power - Vanessa Amorosi

53The Marshall Mathers LP - Eminem

Who put "the real slim shady" thats the name of a song by eminem. And that song is the worst on this album by far. Check out stan, rember me with sticky from onyx, and drug ballad all great songs and it showed lots of growth as a mc from his classic debut(witch still stands as one of the 10 best debut albums in hip-hop history). He was at his lyrical and emoitonal peak here.

54Brave - Jennifer Lopez

55OK Computer - Radiohead

Michael jackson, 30 seconds to mars, lindsay lohan, madonna, christina aguilera, bon jovi, green day, shania twain and maroon 5 are better than radiohead? Disappointing. At least the beatles and led zep are in the top 10.

Perfect sound creation! Radiohead's albums are better than American musics of now.

A perfectly flawless album. Shows the diversity of Radiohead and their true creativity. Made better if quickly followed by Kid A, which is really the comedown of OK Computer

56Death Magnetic - Metallica

This is a very good album, all nightmare long and the unforgiven 3 are the best.

57Temperature Rising - Tata Young

58Stripped - Christina Aguilera

This album is really good. Songs like Fighter, Beautiful, Dirrty, The voice within or Walk away are just unique and amazing!

Greenday

76Illmatic - Nas
