Top 5 Albums

[DaMuSiCFiEnD]

As my username states, I'm an avid lover of music and try to listen to all kinds that I can. While looking in the forums I was only able to find a thread for what your listening to, but not any to state which are your favorite albums. So these are my personal top cd's that I've heard through my lifetime. Please check this music out if you have time, also if you want to also post the top discs in your opinion.

Just to be clear It'd be impossible for me to choose my favorite albums of all time, but these 3 albums are some of the best I've heard in the last 2 years. I forgot to throw Cudi, o well.

[DaMuSiCFiEnD]

@wookiemanx. Childish Gambino came to Dallas like last month and didnt have the money to go, but I have seen a few of his videos pretty good there.

[Synystars]

1. Avenged Sevenfold-City Of Evil- 2005
2. Woe, Is Me-Number[s]-2009
3. Meat Loaf-Bat out of Hell- Dunno date lol
4. Avenged Sevenfold-Nightmare-2010
5. The Word Alive-Deciever- 2010

There's my top 5! :D

[steelcity007]

The Emery album I found through Cloud's montage and it's different than what I normally listen to, became an instant favorite. I like the passion of the lead singer. As for springsteen, he was brainwashed into my head since I was as young as I can remember by my parents and uncle.

@wookiemanx
gambino is a mastermind

[DaMuSiCFiEnD]

@steelcity007, i listen to many of the songs that I find while watching Halo montages, got that Anberlin album based off duatality it was great. Growing up all I heard was mexican music and i dont listen to it.

I'm with you man, I have a whole playlist in iTunes just from songs I found in montages and then play it while I'm gaming. Great stuff. My favorites are World Away from Clouds and Victim/In Fate's Hands from Str8 08's

[DaMuSiCFiEnD]

@gweedo, i have in my collection older material, but this is just music i cant shy away from. I personally love older music since it seems most of the music now a days isn't what it could be, due to the same concept being over used by many people.

OMG Lefty, I never find people who know the brilliance that is Lights, she's amazing, and that's not even a testosterone based assessment. I'll post my list later but this made my day.

ABR and BTBAM are amazaaaaaaah :D

[steelcity007]

Glad to see a lot of Cudi on here. He's coming to PGH in the summer, kind of want to go see him. Anyone see him live and have recommendations?

[Toomuchmooin]

Not doing pictures, i'll put links to songs instead, but here it is:

1: Artist: Relient K
Album: Mmhmm
Reason: I'm a Christian so it hits my morals, and musically Relient K is amazing, the album is a perfect pacing between
punk and softer stylings
Song: When I Go Down http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDskMF54vnw

2: Artist: Senses Fail
Album: Let It Enfold You
Reason: I love the music, it's very raw and emotional, yet refined and thought out, generally a fun album, seriously they
sing about beings pirates in one song
Song: Choke On This http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9E_tOBIKTBg

3: Artist: Lights
Album: The Listening
Reason: She is probably one of the best musicians on the planet, her music is cute (lol), she has positive morals underlying
(she like owl city can't be blatantly Christian but they both sneak it in), and she's extremely attractive. 3/3
Song: The Listening (Acoustic) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieHZRcWJWHs

4: I was gonna put Silverstein in here but I couldn't choose just one of their albums because I like them all, so I'll just talk
about how great they are, the older ones maybe a bit better but A Shipwreck in the sand had the song that let me learn
about Lights, also I'm up to 2 Canadians, Lights and Silverstein, and I'm American, lol
Song: Smashed Into Pieces http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JcdX17si9k

5: Artist: Just Surrender
Album: If These Streets Could Talk
Reason: I actually just started listening to this band and I really like this album, I'm using it more representative thing
though because I listen to so much music I'm trying to get the spectrum out there, this represents the pop/screamo kind of
style, to round out the punk, rock, pop, screamo, alternative of the rest of the list
Song: You Tell A Tale http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUExTVqoSbY
