Your thoughts........ <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Though Nevermind was more cuturally significant, Nirvana's In Utero. Pantera's Vulgar Display of Power. I also mark out for The Hip's Up to Here and Fully Completely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Corey_Lazarus 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2005 Dream Theater's Metropolis Pt. II: Scenes From A Memory. While most people prefer Opeth in the field of prog metal, I prefer DT simply for the fact that I get a feeling of so much more going on. That, and this album is probably the greatest work of musical art to happen since the invention of rock n' roll (IMO). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PLAGIARISM! 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2005 Neutral Milk Hotel - In The Aeroplane Over The Sea <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Definitely up there. The Wedding Present - Seamonsters (1991) completely obliterated everything both the US and UK rock scenes were producing simultaneously, I think that's hugely significant. Tindersticks have been a consistently good/brilliant act since 1993, though it's tough to pinpoint one album. The debut is remarkably assured with some of their best songs, but runs a little long to be a classic. Pulp were the best of the mainstream Britpop wave by a mile, I'll go with Different Class because it was their high-point career wise, though His 'n' Hers remains underrated. I agree that the RATM debut would have to make the list, never bettered within a field it defined. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slayer 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2005 Scenes From a Memory is Dream Theater's worst album, not their best. Most of the CD is sappy songs about "I was once a young woman and I got shot, oh noes..." As for the best album, I'm tempted to say Iced Earth's Glorious Burden just to spite all the people who mock "that thirty minute Civil War song", but I'll just go with my tried and true favorite CD, namely Draconian Times by Paradise Lost Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Masked Man of Mystery 0 Report post Posted October 20, 2005 (edited) "Nice" by Puffy AmiYumi because it proves that good old fashioned pop rock is alive and well, even if it takes a J-Pop band who still isn't completely comfortable with English to prove it. An Illustrated History is better, but it's a greatest hits from Japan album whereas Nice was recorded after they started touring in the States Edited October 20, 2005 by Masked Man of Mystery Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Corey_Lazarus 0 Report post Posted October 20, 2005 I chose DT's Scenes... because of the fact that it was a conception album that was, you know, kinda easy to follow. Petrucci, Myung, and Portnoy wrote great music (as always) and created a hell of a story without the need for LaBrie's vocals (which, as usual, were cheesy as fuck). And Stuck Mojo is rapcore, rap/rock, whatever you feel like calling it, same as RATM. I'd say Mojo did the whole "mixing rap with heavy music" thing better than anybody else, considering, you know...Rich could play guitar without resorting to cheap tricks using a bunch of different distortion techniques.
