my top ten would be completely different every time, depending on my mood when you asked me ...
so here's my top ten for this moment:

1. the beatles - white album
2. gunpowder electric - festplatte
3. nick drake - five leaves left
4. busta rhymes - when disaster strikes
5. the who - who by numbers
6. beach boys - surf's up
7. de la soul - 3 feet high & rising
8. nirvana - nevermind
9. gorillaz - gorillaz
10. the streets - original pirate material
 
1. SOAD - SOAD
2. SOAD - toxicity
3. Muse - Showbiz
4. Muse - Origin of symmetry
5. Machine head - the burning red
6. apartment 26 - hallucinating
7. ill nino - revolution
8. RHCP - californication
9. machine head - supercharger
 
If we're talking all-time favourites then it would have to go like this.

1. ‘Gentlemen’ - The Afghan Whigs - An album that has lasted through five relationships and their subsequent breakups. More like a best friend than a record. It was also due to this record that I met my current lady.
2. ‘It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back’ - Public Enemy - The ultimate Public Enemy album, therefore the ultimate rap album.
3. ‘Nevermind’ - Nirvana - A record that I hope will outlive Kurt Cobain’s legacy. Regardless of all the hype and rumours, these are still amazing songs.
4. ‘Doolittle’ - The Pixies - ‘Here Comes Your Man’ was the first thing I learnt to play on a guitar.
5. ‘Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables’ - The Dead Kennedies - The first record my parents REALLY objected to.
6. ‘Orange’ - The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion - Riffs to die for and lyrics to shout unintelligibly for no reason. What could be more perfect?
7. ‘Enter The Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers’ - Wu-Tang Clan - The first album, before it all went wrong. Reinvented hip-hop, like ‘Nation Of Millions’ before it.
8. ‘The Queen Is Dead’ - The Smiths - My tape copy wore out years ago and I only found a replacement on vinyl last year. Listening to it again was a revelation.
9. ‘Generation Terrorists’ - Manic Street Preachers - A mess of eyeliner and spraypaint, seeing the Manics touring this album was the first gig I went to.
10. ‘I’m Your Man’ - Leonard Cohen - First discovered through the film ‘Pump Up The Volume’, the aural definition of the word ‘bittersweet’.

That said, there are several records from the last year or so that may make onto that list eventually - Aesop Rock, Cannibal Ox, the last Fugazi record, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. But these are all records that have earned their place in my life.
 
Mine goes to 11 :D

1. Pixies - Bossanova
2. Beatles - Abbey Road
3. Pixies - Doolittle
4. Radiohead - OK Computer
5. Talking Heads - Remain in Light
6. Soul Coughing - Ruby Vroom
7. Public Enemy - It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back
8. Weezer - Weezer (The first one)
9. Beastie Boys - Paul's Boutique
10. A Tribe Called Quest - The Low End Theory
11. Beck - Mutations

Nice to see some similar tastes on this board.

Honorable Mention (too new to me to be on the list):
• Kruder and Dorfmeister - Sessions
• Mos Def - Black on Both Sides
• Roni Size - New Forms
• Superchunk - Here's to Shutting Up
• Hum - Downward is Heavenward

7. Green Day: Kerplunk
8. Warped Tour
9. New Found Glory
10. Me First and the Gimme Gimmes:
 
1. Coil - Love's Secret Domain

The most accessible of coil's albums (to date) and still has some of the best lyrics, rhythms, and most gracefulness of anything I've ever heard.

2. Moby - Play

The sheer volume of beautiful music on this album, and its flow is astounding. Just leave it on repeat and go with it.

3. Modest Mouse - The Lonesome Crowded West

The catchiest songs I've ever heard. In sequence... you won't have them out of your head forever. And if you're a skinny, angsty, shy college student wearing pastel polo shirts and dickies... oh yeah.

4. Beck - Odelay

YOU CANNOT *&^$ WITH THIS ALBUM. There's a definite reason he got a Graemy (sp?!) for this.

5. Matmos - A Chance to Cut is a Chance to Cure

The concept album to bury all concept albums. Entirely composed from sounds gathered from various medical facilities... including such glorious tracks as Lipostudio... and so on, L.A.S.I.K., Spondee, and California Rhinoplasty.

6. Future Sound of London - Dead Cities

FSOL man... rock out. A really nice variety of driven electronics and very beautiful compositions... these guys make up more sound per album than anyone else. You rarely hear the same sound more than once.

7. Underworld - dubnobasswithmyheadman

This has some really great great music on it. Again... a discman on repeat is your friend. Cowgirl, Dirty Epic, Skyscraper...I love you, River of Bass...

8. Weezer - the blue album

The newer stuff is good, but this is their best.

9. Das EFX - Dead Serious

The most infectious and RIDICULOUS rhymes you will ever hear... more pop culture references than you can imagine...

10. Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral

A really great album with some incredible depth and some incredible music.
 
1. Slipknot-slipknot

2.Mudvayne-L.D. 50

3.Primus- The Brown Album

4.Primus- Sailing the Seas of Cheese

5.Slipknot- Iowa

6.Soulfly-Soulfly

7.Coal Chamber-Coal chamber

8.ICP- Ringmaster

9.Kittie- Oracle

10.Sur Sudha- (mislanious citar songs)

Not only have I heard of these, I have them. Also Poem, Sycophant and one other (that I forget the name of right now) by Delerium. Also Tweekend by Crystal Method.

You might also like Paul Oakenfold and Orb.
 
Ok, I really don't think I can put these in order I like a lot of CDs.

Pink Floyd - Wish you were here - AMAZING
Our Lady Peace - Clumsy
Tragically Hip - Up to here
Green Day - Dookie
Weezer - The Blue Album (this is popular on here :))
Nirvana - Nevermind (popular again)
Oasis - [Whats the story] Morning Glory
Cake - Fashion Nugget
Sum41 - All Killer no Filler
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
Our Lady Peace - Spiritual Machines
Led Zeppelin - any album
Barenaked Ladies - I like their older stuff but their greatest hits cd - Disk One: All our greatest hits - rocks.

And I have to go now I could keep going for ever. :)

That would be Morpheus or Semantic Spaces, right? (The Delerium one) Morpheus is really good, too, although completely different... and yeah, I have Tweekend too... some songs are quite good but overall I don't like it as much as Vegas; what do you think?

I love ORB, don't have nearly enough of their stuff yet though... and I really should look into some Oakenfold, everyone's recommending that these days :)

It seems that Propellerheads and Delerium are my new addiction. I can't WAIT until the Rob Dougan CD in June! (He's the guy who did "Clubbed to Death", "Furious Angels", and "I'm Not Driving Anymore"... if any of you guys don't have them, download them NOW; they are some of the best electronica songs ever made, IMO ("I'm Not Driving Anymore", in particular, has this passionately desperate end-of-your-life sound to it that's just AMAZING)
 
Not in a particular order:

1. The Birthday Party - Junkyard or Mutiny/Bad Seed ep
2. Nick Cave - Every Album
3. The The - Mind Bomb or Naked Self
4. The Jam - Every Album
5. Stiff Little Fingers - Nobody's Heroes
6. Rocket from the Crypt - Circa Now or All Systems Go Vol. 2
7. Husker Du - Everything Falls Apart
8. Johnny Cash - Live at Folsom Prison/San Quentin
9. Hank Williams - Greatest Hits
10. Pixies - Doolittle
11. Pogues - Rum, Sodomy and the Lash
12. Soundtrack to Rushmore

and the list goes on...

Ya, it's Morpheus. Thanks.

Tweekend is good, but it really has a very different feeling than Vegas. I know bands change and evolve and all that good stuff, but I wanted another CD like Vegas.

Run Lola Run is also a good soundtrack (as well as a good movie), btw...
