Guest I Got Banned for Sucking Posted May 11, 2004 Report Posted May 11, 2004 Yeah, I'd pretty much have to agree with AoO about the quality of the CDs in my entire collection. Some more... Queen - Greatest Hits Nirvana - Nevermind REM - Out of Time Pearl Jam - Vitalogy/Yield Smashing Pumpkins - Gish U2 - Achtung Baby Björk - Post Portishead - Dummy Silverchair - Frogstomp Blur - Parklife Daft Punk - Homework Midnight Oil - Blue Sky Mining Gomez - Bring It On Meat Loaf - Bat out of Hell The Offspring - Americana (pending) Van Halen - 1984 Michael Jackson - Thriller Mark King - Trash Stone Temple Pilots - Purple The Who - Tommy Van Morrison - Astral Weeks Powderfinger - Internationalist
Guest Brian Posted May 12, 2004 Report Posted May 12, 2004 I'm going to avoid the obvious Beatles, REM, Clash, U2, etc. albums that have already been mentioned and go with these two gems: What's Going On by Marvin Gaye This album is so damn beautiful. It has a great flowing sound, a beautiful theme, thoughful lyrics, and a great voice. It's timeless. Reflections Eternal by Talib Kweli and DJ Hi-Tek This is hip-hop. Thought-provoking lyrics as always from Kweli. Great flow, greats beats (got to give it up to Hi-Tek.
cabbageboy Posted May 12, 2004 Report Posted May 12, 2004 Gotta go with: Nirvana: both In Utero and Nevermind Offspring: Smash, Ixnay Rancid: And Out Come the Wolves (I don't care for much of their stuff but this CD is awesome) Green Day: Dookie, and also the early 1039 Slappy Hours or whatever it was called...it's a bunch of EPs Black Sabbath: basically anything from Paranoid through Sabotage.

I'd say that it's up there aswell. Pretty much everything before Warning is.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted May 12, 2004 Report Posted May 12, 2004 Oh I don't agree about the quality of your cd collection at all.
Guest I Got Banned for Sucking Posted May 12, 2004 Report Posted May 12, 2004 Oh I don't agree about the quality of your cd collection at all. Who's, cabbageboy's?
Red Baron Posted May 12, 2004 Report Posted May 12, 2004 Nevermind had the influence on a generation because of some different and nifty riffs, but it was a half decent record at best. In Utero was a better album overall.
cabbageboy Posted May 12, 2004 Report Posted May 12, 2004 Well, to me In Utero is the better overall album. Nevermind is more of a collection of singles. And Nimrod? I have the CD but it's never struck me as anything classic. Decent stuff but there's quite a bit of filler, or at least stuff that didn't make any impression.
Guest I Got Banned for Sucking Posted May 12, 2004 Report Posted May 12, 2004 I thought Nimrod was an awesome album - some very underrated tunes on there, Uptight being one of them. Some songs that you hear, listen to repeatedly for a while, forget about, put on the CD on and remember. At least for me.
cabbageboy Posted May 12, 2004 Report Posted May 12, 2004 Yeah Uptight was a nice song and King For a Day was also cool, but Nimrod is just one of those albums you sorta forget about and then put on one day and say "Hey this is decent." In other words it's about a ***1/2 album, not a *****.
JJMc Posted May 12, 2004 Report Posted May 12, 2004 Nirvana-Unplugged Queens of the Stoneage-Songs for the Deaf Collective Soul- Self Titled
godthedog Posted May 12, 2004 Report Posted May 12, 2004 'in utero' is MUCH better than 'nevermind', but i wouldn't consider either to be 5 stars.
Guest The Winter Of My Discontent Posted May 12, 2004 Report Posted May 12, 2004 Collective Soul- Self Titled oh COME ON!!!!!! I stood idly by while people pimped Green Day as ***** stars, but this? Bah.
Lord of The Curry Posted May 12, 2004 Report Posted May 12, 2004 It's ok, Chev. I stopped taking this thread seriously after I saw Creed on a list.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted May 12, 2004 Report Posted May 12, 2004 Blink 182 and Linkin Park were the two worst things mentioned, although Collective Soul is really really terrible.
TheDevilAndGodAreRagingInsideMe Posted May 12, 2004 Report Posted May 12, 2004 3 Doors Down - The Better Life Blink 182 - Take Off Your Pants & Jacket Green Day - Dookie Pearl Jam - 10 Nirvana - Unplugged STP - Core Eminem - The Eminem Show Metallica - Metallica Offspring - Americana Staind - Break the Cycle Limp Bizkit - Significant Other
C Dubya 04 Posted May 12, 2004 Report Posted May 12, 2004 I think that some people here and I have extremely different standards for what makes a 5* album. But the ones from my collection that I would consider are: Allman Brothers Band - Live at Fillmore East Miles Davis - Kind of Blue Bruce Springsteen - Nebraska Pink Floyd - Animals, Wish You Were Here & Dark Side (I might be a bit generous with Floyd) And maybe the Pixies - Doolittle. To be 5*, every song must be great.
LaParkaYourCar Posted May 12, 2004 Report Posted May 12, 2004 What qualifies *****? Just being critically acclaimed or widely praised? Out of my collection, I'd say: Master of Puppets and The Black Album - Metallica Ten - Pearl Jam 1984 - Van Halen Dookie - Green Day
Guest The Winter Of My Discontent Posted May 12, 2004 Report Posted May 12, 2004 3 Doors Down - The Better LifeYou might as well be deaf
B. Brian Brunzell Posted May 13, 2004 Author Report Posted May 13, 2004 3 Doors Down - The Better Life Staind - Break the Cycle Limp Bizkit - Significant Other Damn AoO, and you thought that Blink-182 Linkin Park were the worst things mentioned... I don't mean to rip you Jack, but 3 Doors Down and Limp Bizkit? You've got some great albums on your list, but those? Yikes.
Guest I Got Banned for Sucking Posted May 13, 2004 Report Posted May 13, 2004 Jack, you've got some fun albums on your list, but majority of them don't come close to *****. C Dubya and LPYC, That's some ***** shit. Same with you, JM. How could I forget these two?: System of a Down - both Toxicity and Steal This Album! A truly amazing band, two truly amazing albums. Haven't heard their self-titled LP in it's entirety as yet.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted May 13, 2004 Report Posted May 13, 2004 If I were to name names, the ones that stand out to me in my collection first are: Black Sabbath's Self-titled Tool-Undertow and Lateralus Frank Zappa-Joe's Garage, Sheik Yerbouti, and Freak Out Sgt. Peppers, Revolver, White Album (token three) Trout Mask Replica. I put this here because every person I've played it for has hated the shit out of it. However, I find it to be an astounding work of art that doesn't sound like ANYTHING else that has ever been recorded. It's proving itself to be one of the most influential things in my collection. Ween-The Pod. Right the fuck on.
Guest I Got Banned for Sucking Posted May 13, 2004 Report Posted May 13, 2004 Alright AoO, it's official - when you die, I want your CDs.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted May 13, 2004 Report Posted May 13, 2004 You will never ever touch my cd collection.
Guest I Got Banned for Sucking Posted May 13, 2004 Report Posted May 13, 2004 Who would you pass it down to when you died?
Guest I Got Banned for Sucking Posted May 13, 2004 Report Posted May 13, 2004 Ok, here's another load: The Clash - The Clash Weezer - Pinkerton Stiff Little Fingers - Inflammable Material The Rolling Stones - Sticky Fingers/Their Satanic Majestie's Request The Beatles - Rubber Soul/Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heats Club Band Bob Dylan - Desire Oasis - Definitely Maybe The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds REM - Automatic for the People The Beastie Boys - Paul's Boutique The Prodigy - Music for the Jilted Generation Suede - Suede Nick Drake - Pink Moon Manic Street Preachers - Generation Terrorists Teenage Fanclub - Bandwagonesque Stevie Wonder - Innervisions Echo & The Bunnymen - Ocean Rain The Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream Nirvana - In Utero Happy Mondays - Pills n' Thrills and Bellyaches Pulp - This is Hardcore Travis - The Man Who Tim Buckley - Greetings from L.A./Starsailor Quicksilver Messenger Service - Maiden of the Cancer Moon Frank Zappa - Hot Rats The Who - The Who Sell Out The Darkness - Permission to Land The Buzzcocks - A Different Kind of Tension That'll do for now...
DCMaximo Posted May 13, 2004 Report Posted May 13, 2004 Just remembered a few more I want to put in... The Go-Betweens- Liberty Belle And The Black Diamond Express Manic Street Preachers- The Holy Bible Bruce Springsteen- Nebraska Foo Fighters- The Colour And The Shape Therapy?- Troublegum Idlewild- Hope Is Important Garbage- Garbage Jimmy Eat World- Clarity Funeral For A Friend- Casually Dressed And Deep In Conversation At The Drive-In- Relationship Of Command
Red Baron Posted May 13, 2004 Report Posted May 13, 2004 SOAD best album is their Self Titled. Toxicity is just a mediocore album, while many people bought the album thinking its the most hardcore thing they have ever heard. Steal This Album...well the title speaks for itself, because the effort in stealing the album is not worth it.
C Dubya 04 Posted May 13, 2004 Report Posted May 13, 2004 Jack, you've got some fun albums on your list, but majority of them don't come close to *****. C Dubya and LPYC, That's some ***** shit. Same with you, JM. How could I forget these two?: System of a Down - both Toxicity and Steal This Album! A truly amazing band, two truly amazing albums. Haven't heard their self-titled LP in it's entirety as yet. You're lucky you said you liked Bonnie Tyler, or else *shakes fist in anger*
B. Brian Brunzell Posted May 13, 2004 Author Report Posted May 13, 2004 After scanning my collection, I found a few more: The Rolling Stones- Sticky Fingers The Who- Tommy Cream- Disraeli Gears The Black Crowes- amorica The Roots- illadelph halflife Wu-Tang Clan- Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) The Mars Volta- de-loused in the comatorium Beastie Boys- Paul's Boutique Liz Phair- Exile in Guyville
