Oedo 808 Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Put a little thought into it, and try to keep the image sizes around 300x300 or we'll be here all day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oedo 808 Posted November 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Do you just mean albums that you like?Not really, I think all of the above albums are special. The artists involved captured lightning in a bottle and made something above and beyond what was expected.Not 'special' but a perfectly acceptable pop punk CD with a few surprises. I'm still proud of this release. "Swallow This, Punk!" does exactly what it says on the tin - it's no better but it's definitely no worse than some of the "big bands" of the time.For me "0% Attendace, 100% Punktuality" by Quik is an example of a PERFECT CD. You can not fault it because it works on every level."Swallow This, Punk!"Download the whole fucking thing.. I doubt an Aberdeen band will ever release a pop punk CD that tops it... unless it's us.

Lemonade Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 I took this to mean albums that are special to you, that maybe tug at your heart-strings a little bit, stir up some special feelings, give you goose-bumps, rather than just albums that you like. With that said:And I'll probably get slagged to fuck for this one: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norseman Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 For me there are a number of albums I never get tired of and I feel they captured something above and beyond the call of duty, special albums I suppose which make up the core of my ipod play list, includes:Metallica - Master Of Puppets, Kill Em All, Ride The LightningSlayer - Reign In Blood, South Of HeavenAnthrax - Among The Living, Spreading The DiseaseIron Maiden - Iron Maiden, The Number Of The Beast, Piece Of Mind, PowerslaveAC/DC - Back In Black, Highway To HellMcQueen - Break The SilenceFaith No More - Angel Dust, The Real ThingThe Cult - ElectricSOAD - ToxicityRammstein - Reise Reise, RosenrotAnnihilator - Alice In HellXentrix - Shattered ExistenceSabbat - Dreamweaver, History Of A Time To ComeTestament - The Legacy, The New OrderMegadeth - Peace Sells, Countdown To ExtinctionQueensryche - Operation Mindcrime, EmpireBlack Sabbath - Heaven And Hell, Mob RulesDio - Holy Diver, The Last In LineDark Angel - Darkness DescendsTwisted Sister - Under The BladeMotorhead - Overkill, InfernoDeath Angel - The UltraviolenceNightwish - OnceParadise Lost - Draconion TimesDream Theater - OctavariumGuns 'N' Roses - Appetite For DestructionSavatage - Hall Of The Mountain KingOverkill - Taking Over, HorrorscopeI know there is a fair few there but I listen to a lot of music so my fav album list is pretty long, arguably could be longer as there were a few fine calls there.

Plus, Kirk is a big fan and I got Darkness on the Edge of Town played in its entirety without a complaint on our recent trip. Two of the finest albums ever made in my opinion. Give them a listen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swingin' Ryan Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 This isn't essentially a 'top 5', just the first five albums that spring to mind when I hear the phrase 'special albums'. I'm aware it's a 'singles compilation' not an album, but I'm not losing it on technicalities! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give them a listen You know, I just might. The only Springsteen stuff I know is "Born In The USA" and "Dancing In The Dark", but that was enough to put me off for life, but maybe I've written "The Boss" off too soon. I'll fire up Spotify and give him another chance... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It beautifully served its purpose.The River and Nebraska are my favourite Bruce records. Darkness On The Edge Of Town a close 3rd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's well worth listening beyond the two 'hits', they're not indicative of Springsteen's catalogue at all!!'Atlantic City' is probably my favourite Springsteen song. The album version and live version are really different, too! Both are incredible! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The album version and live version are really different, too! Both are incredible!Atlantic City is great. I love the distant vocal harmony on the chorus, like he is shouting it from around the corner.There's an acoustic version of Born In The USA which was meant to be on Nebraska. Again, it's totally different. Really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
