Since we're on the topic of music. List your favorite CD/Album ever.Metallica- Master of Puppets.On that cd they hit their peak. And Justice for all was good. Black album had it's moments, but it's all downhill from there. Don't get me wrong, there are some great songs since. "Fuel" gets my blood going more than any other song, but nothing touched Master.Erik

can it be a double disk set?best of led zeppelin - early and latter

[Pupsta]

I'm going to go with Staind - Break the Cycle.

[allinbluff35]

One of my favorite cd's is the 311(damn I can't remember the name of it), the one with the fireball logo, it might have been self titled. Anyways there is a song in there for usually every mood that I am in. If I can't find something on there I will just hit up Johnny Cash or specifically Kansas Dust in the Wind.

Going out on a limb here, probably for the older folk in the posts, but how about Boston's Debut album, STILL, the largest selling debut album by any group!

[wrto4556]

Pink Floyd baby!! they always write such happy songs..

[Boothy]

My fav CD changes constantly but the one that's been in my car CD player constantly for over month and a half now is the Frank Zappa best of 'Strictly Commercial'Ever? I'd probably have to go with Floyd also. 'Dark side of the moon'

[theresa113]

Boothy... You like Dark Side Of the Moon better than Wish you were Here or Animals? Dark Side is good, but I would not consisder it Pink Floyds best. I always felt that Animals was their best, even though it had little commercial success. wrto... Don't know what is with you and the language lately. Boston? You don't know who Boston is? Shame on your parents! I tell you, I don't understand how this generation knows so little about the music before them. I am not saying you have to like it (yes, Boston sold a lot of records but I wouldn't put it on the top of any of my list) but you should have least of heard of them. The song More than a Feeling has been played on everything. I think one of the best all time albums is Nirvana's Nevermind. This is an album that changed the landscape of music and set a new trend for what you hear today. The whole album is great. My son got the Nirvana 3 CD and DVD set called With The Lights Out for Christmas and watching the DVD you realize how influential these guys were. No one in the band is the best at anything, but the combination of the three is awesome. When I first heard Nirvana, I felt finally there was music that was written for me and my generation. I remember hearing a couple of Nirvana songs a few months before Nevermind was released and I knew music was going to go through a dramatic change (I was an avid fan of MTV's 120 minutes. It was time for the hair bands to die. ) I was tired of most music and Nirvana was a breath of life in a very plastic and benign soundscape.Anyway, just my 2 cents on music and the best albums.

Yeah I threw boston out there because i love them! i wouldnt consider it the greatest album either. Im not a big nirvana fan, i think they were overrated, but thats my opinion. I think alice in chains and soundgarden were the bands that really changed the music scene. FYI, soundgarden was the first "grunge" band to get signed to a record label.

[Boothy]

'Wish you were here' is special for me because Roy Harper (who incidentaly is the greatest singer/songwriter ever to grace the planet, and I won't even bother to argue the point!) sings on it. However, for me DSOTM is still tops.On a side note: I was listening to Roy Harper's 'Bullinavingvase' when I signed up for Pokerstars. Hence the harper20 moniker (which I can't change)

[PestoSauce]

I never thought in a million years that I like rap music, but I started to like Eminem with his hit song "Stan". That was the domino that started me on Dr. Dre and Tupac. Guess i'm the oddball here

[allinbluff35]

I also do listen to some rap/hip-hop, but mostly it is wyclef jean, timberland, the beatnutz, method man, neptunes(I think).

Diver,The Alternative music scene was rumbling for a long time. Before Nirvana hit big, I listened to bands like Concrete Blonde, Fetchin' Bones, REM, Sonic Youth, Love and Rockets, Jane's Addiction, the SugarCubes and The The. Music was changing but nothing was getting played on mainstream channels. It was the hook on Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" that opened the doors to all Altantive bands, signed or not, to the mainstream audience. I am not sure if Alice in Chains and Soundgarden would have received the amount of airplay if it wasn't for Nevermind. Don't get me wrong, I love Soundgarden and Alice in Chains. I loved the whole grunge movement, including STP, Seven Mary Three (a Central Florida band), God's Child, Meat Puppets and the like. The only band at the time that I didn't really click with was Pearl Jam. It seems you are either a Nirvana fan or a Pearl Jam fan. I of course, am more of a Nirvana fan.Of late, I really like the Foo Fighters. I think Dave Grohl is awesome. Again, he is not the best singer, song writer, guitar player or drummer (though he is dame good). However, Dave Grohl loves music and continues to create and explore new ventures.

Theresa113, Again you beat me to everything, I love the Foo Fighters, My fav. album from there is TINLTL. The best part about the Foo is that their live concerts are amazing! You wouldnt think it, but they just jam most of the concert. They Rock! I never got into pearl jam either, But i loved Temple of the Dog, which of course was written and fronted by who else, Chris Cornell. By the way, that one album spwaned Pearl Jam because it was there that Eddie Vedder met mother love bone and Pearl Jam was formed. So all you Pearl Jam fans should thank Chris Cornell for spawning that band. Oh, IMO, Say Hello 2 Heaven is one of the greatest songs ever!
