What is your absolutely favourite 5 albums of all time?

Haven't seen these list for a while so I made one, also trying to keep up with the generation nowdays, and perhaps build up my vinyl collection.

Feel free to insert album arts as I love those!

MY GENRE is from ROCK, METAL, ALTERNATIVE and everything in between.

Therefore,

My TOP 5 favourite albums in no particular order

1) Avenged Sevenfold - Avenged Sevenfold

2) 30 Seconds To Mars - This Is War, the new album rocks too!

3) Muse - Black Holes and Revelations

4) System of a Down - Toxity or Mezmerize

5) Metallica - Master of Puppets


My criteria for choosing the favourite albums would be
a) Almost, if not all, the songs in the albums are great to listen
b) While there maybe some songs in the album that are not that great, they are listenable (if you know what I mean)

Mono - Hymn to the Immortal Wind


The Rural Alberta Advantage - Departing (toss-up between this and Hometowns, also by the RAA)


Keaton Henson - Dear...


Neutral Milk Hotel - In The Aeroplane Over the Sea


The Wooden Wolf - 14 ballads Op. 1

^whoa NSFW

Anyways, mine. Went through a lot of generics and noises alike, but below heavily influenced and helped improve my playing A LOT

Godspeed You Black Emperor - Slow Riot for New Zero Kanada

This is as much a list of my top albums as it is a list of albums that I will not get tired listening to and which defined my life as a guitarist and musician.

In no particular order:

Dream Theater - Metropolis Pt 2 - Scenes from a Memory (1999)

Mr Big - Live in San Francisco (1992)

Liquid Tension Experiment - Liquid Tension Experiment (1998)

Yngwie Malmsteen - Inspiration (1996)

Steve Vai - Fire Garden (1996)
