Pick Only One #3 - Favourite Album

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Been away for a few days, but I'm back online now and delivering edition three of everyone's favourite new series of threads; Pick Only One. 

We've done favourite band and guitarist, so now let's up the stakes and pick one that'll really challenge you all; Favourite album. 
The rules are simple (as if the name of the thread doesn't give it away). No runners up. No second best. No honorable mentions. No join firsts. No "I couldn't decide between...". This is a thread series where we separate the boys from the men (and the girls from the women). Where you have to suck it up, grow a pair, and pick only one answer. (Ladies, do whatever the female equivalent is of "growing a pair"...) 

And please share with us anything about this album, what it means to you, why it's your choice etc. It's fun to read. 

So to start of, here's mine:

I'd only heard of Dream Theater at this point, but in 2003 I took a random chance and bought this album. At 16-years of age and only doing a paper-round at the time, the £10 I splashed out on this in a Virgin Megastore seemed a big risk. But it paid off. 

Initially I didn't like this album. I didn't understand Prog and thought they were sh*t. But I loved my metal, and the intro to Pull Me Under kept me coming back for more until, in time, the album grew on me and I fell in love with every song. 

Right now, I've not been listening to too much Dream Theater, but it won't change the fact that Images and Words is my favourite album ever, and one of the most important musical purchases of my life.
