What's Your Favorite Album?

My favorite has to be "Keeper of the Seven Keys Part I" by Helloween. It's such an amazing album and everything about it is amazing. The vocals, the guitars, the bass, and the drums. It has such an uplifting feeling to it and it's pretty heavy too. Michael Kiske has one of the greatest voices ever and Kai Hansen is an amazing songwriter/guitarist. Markus Grosskopf is a great bassist as well as Ingo Schwitchenburg being a "powerhouse" of a drummer (R.I.P.). Part II was a great album as well. If they only could've kept this line-up...

Judas Priest - Sin After Sin


there has never been a better album made imho.

Awesome disc.

If I had to pick one album it work probably be....
(this is hard)...

...Corrosion Of Conformity: In The Arms Of God

but there are far too many great albums to choose from.

I don't really have a favourite album, but if I had to pick one then it would be Europe - Out of This World or maybe Sonata Arctica - Ecliptica. Can't decide!

I don't think I can choose one off the top of my head.

me neither. There are just too many good ones out there!

(Head explodes)

No way I could boil it down to just one....

yes, 'Keeper 1' = very good, and I think it's a lot better than the follow up as well. I seem to be in the minority with that one, though.


I can't pick ONE..I have a few up there which don't move... Labyrinth - Return to Heaven Denied..Queensrÿche - Rage for Order/Mindcrime (either or, and both).. Running Wild - anything from Death or Glory through Masquerade...maudlin of the Well - Leaving Your Body Map..

Keldian - Journey of Souls...Darkseed - Diving into Darkness..

and my criteria is basically, stuff where I love everything on it, and it all perfectly encapsulates a specific feeling. For example I might want to have something like Gamma Ray - Land of the Free, or maybe Fates Warning - No Exit on there, but the former has a few fillers I hate, and the latter seems cut off too short, so even though I really love those, they wouldn't be able to make the cut because of such flaws. But what I love on them is some of my favorite stuff, at the same time.

Count me in on that minority too. Always thought KEEPER I was far superior to II.

All 3 of the Down albums.

Good call.

Tough question. The one i thought of first is RUST IN PEACE

I can't pick only one. There is not one album I just love above every other album, and there are tons of albums that I love.

Man, that's tuff!

I'd have to say it'd be between these four:

The Crucified - Pillars of Humanity
Sacrament - Haunts of Violence
Deliverance - Weapons of Our Warfare
Altar Boys - Gut Level Music

Not possible for me as I have tons of music I listen to and not all of it is metal. But some favourites include stuff like:

The Stooges - Raw Power
Slayer - Reign In Blood
Motorhead - Ace Of Spades
Black Flag - Damaged
Christian Death - Only Theatre of Pain
Jag Panzer - Ample Destruction
Laibach - WAT
Buffalo - Volcanic Rock
Atomic Rooster - Death Walks Behind You
Manilla Road - Open The Gates
Raw Power - Screams From The Gutter
Fields Of The Nephilim - The Nephilim

Queensryche: The Warning
