I don't dislike them, I'm just sick of them. And I like the other albums better.

 

Blackberry Smoke : Little Piece Of Dixie

 

Just a little Info on Back in Black..... This is the reason I posted this... It is not my favorite by any means..... I don't think any of the others mentioned in this thread have come close to the amount sold..

Back in Black was an unprecedented success. It has sold an estimated 50 million copies worldwide It is one of the best-selling albums in music history. The band supported the album with a yearlong world tour, cementing them among the most popular music acts of the early 1980s. The album also received positive critical reception during its initial release, and it has since been included on numerous lists of "greatest" albums. Since its original release, the album has been reissued and remastered multiple times, most recently for digital distribution.

 

It is also one of the few times a band came back with a new singer and was (1000 times!) better than they were with the original guy.

 

Not really they just sucked less.

No that's like #3 of all time.

Korns debut album is #1. Audioslaves debut is #2

 

Money Talks... Suckers Walk!




















And you cant touch my 3 Lock box! Hey What about Hagar??????

 

"And All That Could Have Been" is my top NIN album. (Though I never understood why he left La Mer out.)

Also their best tour imo because it was the last of Angry Trent. And because I saw that one.

 

Honorable mentions....

Controversy: Prince
LD50: Mudvayne
Subliminal verses: Slipknot
Fair Warning: Van Halen
And anything by Parliament

 

Queensryche... Operation Mindcrime.

 

Definitely Zappa's best in my opinion.

A very significant album from the 60's would be "Forever Changes" by Love. The band also boasts Hendrix's last studio work on their "False Start" album. Front man Arthur Lee also came out with one of the most bizarrely memorable albums with "Vindicator".

 

Oooooo good one. Wore two cassette copies out.
