Top 10 Favorite Albums

We all have favorite albums, some of you may care less what mine are. I feel like naming them though. I recommend everyone to check out every one of these I put up.



10. Jay-Z/The Beatles/Danger Mouse - The Grey Album.



The Grey Album is a mashup made my DJ Danger Mouse (of DANGERDOOM, and Gnarls Barkley). He took the a cappella version of Jay-Z's Black Album, and mixed it up with different sounds and songs from The Beatles White Album.

AMAZING.
It's awesome hearing it in such a different light, not to mention it's illegal to own because DJ Danger Mouse did it without telling the owners of The Beatles songs.

9. Streetlight Manifesto - Keasbey Nights



Thomas Kolonky was in Catch 22, then he quit or was kicked out. So, what did he do? He joined a new fucking band and re-recorded his old bands first record.

Easily the most in-your-face, catchy ska you'll ever hear.

8. Black Flag - Damaged



Probably my second favorite punk album ever.
Amazing, simply.
Just, hardcore, fuck-off punk rock.
That's all there is to say. The album is a legend.
Start writing down notes, hXc kids.

7. Beastie Boys - Hello Nasty



My favorite Beastie Boys album. So many classic songs; Three MC's and One DJ, Body Movin', Intergalactic, Super Disco Breakin, and soo many more.

An essential for a Beastie Boy fan.

6. Common Rider - Last Wave Rockers


(Couldn't find a larger image)

Ex-Operation Ivy frontman started a band that was... Different. It was essentially a bunch of amazingly written love songs. All about spending time just living your life, and having fun. It's up there with my favorites. Believe me.

5. Explosions In The Sky - The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place



EITS makes some good music, no doubt there. But Memorial on this album alone is worth it. It's such good music, and so easy to listen to and understand. It's all instrumental (like their other stuff) but it's all so amazing to hear the very first time.

4. Operation Ivy - Energy



Pretty much my favorite punk album of all time. Such amazing music. It started the careers of Tim Armstrong and Matt Freeman (RANCID, The Transplants) and is still amazing now.
A remastered edition was released in November and it still provides all of the same energy and unstableness that the original did.

3. Bob Marley - Legend



The GREATEST reggae album ever. It's all just fucking amazing as shit love songs!

"Well don't worry, about a thing. Because every little thing... Is gonna be alright"

It's just amazing. Rarely are there entire CD's which I find groovy and listenable... But this is one of them. Listen to it!!!

2. Beck - Odelay



Now, pretty much everyone out there knows I'm pretty much gay for Beck. This is my favorite Beck album, by one of my favorite artists. Nothing beats him, and the Dust Brothers. Them producing this, made it 1,000,000,000 times better than it already was. Listen to it, NOW.

1. Miles Davis - Kind Of Blue



There is simply nothing better.
Miles Davis is the fucking king of Jazz.
He's simply the greatest, to be fair- he made some shitty records later on in life, but this is a highlight of his most amazing stuff.
