 Topic: your favorite 3 albums of all timePosted: September 30 2007 at 21:04 |

Post your favorite three albums of all time. Personally for me it took a while to figure this out... I based mine on how much they changed my perceptions, how much replayability they have, how long i have been listening to them, and how unique they are compared to other bands.....Ok here goes.. after some deep thought...man this is tough!
------------------------------- Ohm:Ohm- I can listen to this album a million times and always hear something new, In my opinion this is one of the most perfect blends of emotion and technicality ever pulled off. Dreamtheater-Scenes from a memory-pt 2- Basically made me want to actually play music, rather then just listen to it, and changed how the way i viewed music soley as just music(if that makes any sense lol) music is powerful force that can really have an effect on people. Frank Zappa-You can't do that on stage anymore Volume 2- I have almost every zappa cd out there, and I bought them randomly, finally I got this album and it changed my views on how music should be played live, because seeing a band live and listening to their studio record are two totally different things. ------------------------- runner ups worth mentioning: --------------------------------------------------- spocks beard-the light-this was the first spocks beard album I heard and opened up the doors to so many other albums for me syrinx-reification-my gateway to avante garde music-and an amazing album liquid tension #2-got me into technical metal of all kinds-a true gateway album for me mongol-doppler444-Started my journey of liking super technical fusion, and especially japanese prog |

Don't pressure yourself into loving it. If you like it, then like it, but if you don't LOVE it, then don't TRY to, y'know? I know the rest of STC kinda pressure you into loving it... |

Uh, lemme think...
Thick as a Brick, 'cause it's the best album ever, Heavy Horses, 'cause it's the best Tull album ever, and Aqualung. As a placekeeper.
If you want me to be SERIOUS, then, I'd wager...
Thick as a Brick. See above. Quadropheania. See above also. Finally, Ween's The Mollusk. Damn that's a sweet album. However, place three is unstable, and could also be occupied by Procol Harum, Strange Days, or Heavy Horses. Depending on my mood.
