What are your top 3 favorite albums?

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

Ozzy Osboburne's No More Tears is my all time fave. Today I'll go with Welcome to the Jungle by Guns N' Roses and Whitesnake's Slip of the Tongue as the other two.

So this would be a good album of theirs to try out then? Only heard one song of theirs, 'So Cold' and love it.

Yes, agree that taste does tend to change every so often as one would only expect, but at the moment I would have to say:

Queens of the Stone Age: Rated R
Pixies: Surfer Rosa & Come On, Pilgrim
Radiohead: OK Computer

Pearl Jam Ten is the only album that I will not skip a song on. There is no filler in it.

I've been trying to reply to this thread since it first came about... I honestly haven't been able to pick. I suppose:

1-The Tea Party's "Interzone Mantras"
2-The Lost Boys Soundtrack
3-Switchfoot's "Beautiful Letdown"

With many, many songs from many different albums in there asides. These are just three albums I'd happily listen to through til I got sick of them for awhile, but know I'll eventually come back to at some point. Not the only albums that I'll do what with, incidentally.
