I gave myself a self-imposed rule - limit 1 album per artist.

Here is my top 10 (in no particular order):

 

1. Something Corporate - Leaving Through the Window

2. Jimmy Eat World - Bleed American

3. Blink-182 - Untitled

4. Biffy Clyro - Opposites (2 disc edition)

5. Marilyn Manson - The Pale Emperor

6. Avenged Sevenfold - Avenged Sevenfold (self-titled)

7. Jack's Mannequin - Everything in Transit

8. Taking Back Sunday - New Again

9. Behind Crimson Eyes - A Revelation for Despair 

10. New Found Glory - Coming Home

 

Honourable mentions: 

MEST - Photographs

System of a Down - Mesmerize

Rise Against - The Sufferer & the Witness

The Used - In Love and Death

My Chemical Romance - Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys

 

I have probably forgotten something, however, this appears to be a good list all things considered, seeing as it took me only an hour to compile it XD

As stated in an earlier post: my feelings towards music fluctuates. Sometimes I am really into heavy metal, on the other hand I can really pump my fists to punk rock. This list could change within weeks.

Didn't have you down as a Pumpkins fan!

My top 10:

1. Nine Inch Nails - The Fragile
2. A Perfect Circle - Mer De Noms
3. Boards of Canada - The Campfire Headphase
4. ...And You Will Know us by the Trail of Dead - Worlds Apart
5. Nine Inch Nails - Still
6. 
Cher - It's a Man's World
7. 
David Bowie - Outside
8. 
Marilyn Manson - Mechanical Animals
9. 
Goldfrapp - Supernature
10. 
blink-182 - Take Off Your Pants and Jacket

Honourable mentions:
Smashing Pumpkins - Machina (for the longest time my favourite album, and the origin of my forum name, it's slipped down my list over time)
Bjork - Greatest Hits (Bjork's best songs are spread over several of her earlier albums and the greatest hits collection does a good job of compiling most (but far from all) of them in one place. The albums themselves are often 50/50 affairs (50% shit, 50% great), so struggle to justify a position in my top 10)
Kate Bush - The Whole Story (similar story to Bjork - this was Kate Bush's 1980s compilation album and draws a bunch of her best songs together. It would be in the top 10 but I don't think Greatest Hits should really count)
Goldfrapp - Silver Eye (I was tempted to put it in my top 10 but it's such a recent release that I need to give it more time to see if it has staying power for me)

Well now you know.

Here are the top 10 (not including TLFBTE)

The Overflow - Taylor Sorensen
Inland - Jars of Clay
Jars of Clay - Jars of Clay
Truly Madly Completely: Best of Savage Garden - Savage Garden
Secret Codes and Battleships - Darren Hayes
Welcome to The Masquerade - Thousand Foot Krutch
Real Emotion - Paper Route
Secret Weapon  - MXPX

1doesnotsimply

1. III - Moderat
2. II - Moderat
3. The Devil's Walk - Apparat
4. In Colour - Jamie xx
5. Ruinism - Lapalux
6. Vessel - Lorn
7. Hollowed - Ital Tek

That's pretty much my list.



Around the Network

1. Iron Maiden - Piece of Mind
2. Bruce Dickinson - The Chemical Wedding
3. Devin Townsend - Terria
4. Joe Satriani - The Extremist
5. Avenged Sevenfold - Self-titled album
6. Steve Vai - Fire Garden
7. Andy Timmons - That Was Then, This is Now
8. Poets of the Fall - Clearview
9. Dream Theater - Images & Words
10. Stam1na - Viimeinen Atlantis / System of a Down - Toxicity

Only one album for each artists although I think Iron Maiden & Dickinson have made more of the best albums ever. Best live albums ever are Live After Death by Iron Maiden and Tribute by Ozzy Osbourne. Tribute is an album every guitar player should listen.. you don't hear guitar playing like that these days unfortunately.



Alien Ant Farm - TruANT

Wow, good call.  I loved this underrated album.
