Forums - Music - Favorite music albums

Let's share them here.

I will post a few and maybe will add more with time:

1) The Verve - A Storm In Heaven (1993)

Most people know The Verve by The Bitter Sweet Symphony, but they had an amazing debut album in 1993, they peaked with this album :D Genre wise I guess it is dream pop/rock. The highlights of this album are the otherwordly guitar riffs that often sound more like synthesizer sounds.

2) Alice in Chains - Dirt (1992)

This grunge album is simply nuts and shows what can be achieved with hard drugs o_o

3) David Sylvian - Gone to Earth (1986)

This is a very authentic, atmospheric and memorable album that is underrated? The first half of the album is slow, melodic pop and the second half is instrumental/ambient.

4) Simple Minds - New Gold Dream (1982)

This is my favorite summer album. I think it is their best album by far and their only great album from start to finish.

5) Type O Negative - October Rust (1996)

To continue with seasons, this is my favorite autumn album. It is hard to describe this metal/goth/doom/whatever album but in one word it would be MAGIC

I will beat this drum until it implodes. The Weatherman by Gregory Alan Isokov is the greatest record of the 21st century.



Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

Over two hours long, covering many genres, and to my mind, each one done masterfully. I don't know any other albums which can pull off heavy tracks like Tales of a Scorched Earth and X.Y.U. to sugary pop like 1979 and Cupid de Locke. But they managed somehow.

Queen - Innuendo (1991). This is my favourite album. Queen is my all time favourite band and this album being Freddie Mercury's final completed album before he died really makes me push it above all others. The album almost feels like a return to Queens roots with lots of wonderful guitar, drums and bass, and of course Freddie's amazing vocals. Freddie has a difference in his voice in this album, due to his illness progressing and he quit smoking in 1990 so his vocals seem to go even higher than usual (Listen to "The Show Must Go On", a very intense song from this album).

We also got to see Freddie's final ever music video for "These are the days of our lives", a perfect track from Innuendo that shows the harsh reality that Freddie didn't have long left to live, but he still gave it his all and he gets to say his final goodbye to the fans.

I could talk about this for hours so I'll stop there lol, but if you are a Queen fan you know how special this album is.



I’m all over the place. Not really a solid genre, artist, or album. Too many to list, so I’ll just post my most listened to albums:

All Time, 2025, 2023, 2019, 2018, & 2016: Born to Die (Paradise Edition) - Lana Del Rey
2024: The Death of Slim Shady - Eminem
2022: It’s not me It’s You - Lily Allen
2020&2021: After Hours - The Weeknd
2017: Plastic Letters Blondie
2015: Artpop - Lady Gaga

So, I guess Born to Die (Paradise Edition) by Lana Del Rey. My stats only go back to 2015.
My guess is because it’s a huge album and there are so many songs on it on a lot of my playlists. My purchased music (from prior to the streaming services) is primarily from the 1990s.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

Midnight Oil - Blue Sky Mining

Awesome tunes that not only sound great but have something powerful and meaningful to say

Metallica - Black Album

Perfect to blast at max volume and rock out to

Chvrches - Love is Dead

I love all their albums, but for me this one had the most bangers

I was literally coming in here to bring up that album since I rarely see it or him brought up. This Empty Northern Hemisphere and That Sea, The Gambler are also top tier imo.

Whenever I'm on a long drive I'll put all three on in a row before switching to something else.
