This will start off being just about all-time, all-around favs, but you can be creative with your lists.
Anywho, guess i better list mine. I'm a very indecisive person, so i have to list my favorite albums within 15 year... things.... Here goes:

Top 5 albums (1988-2003)
5.Nirvana - In Utero
4.My Bloody Valentine - Loveless
3.The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots
2.Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation
1. >to be filled in later<
(special mention goes to Bjork, Stereolab... Puffy (Ami Yumi)... umm... etc)

Top 5 albums (1973-1987)
5.Zappa+Mothers - Roxy+Elsewhere (very VERY honourable mention to Joe's Garage Acts I-III)
4.the Ramones - Rocket to Russia
3.Jeff Beck - Blow by Blow
2.Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
1.Neil Young and Crazy Horse - Tonights the Night (honourable mention to his entire 70's catalogue)

Top 5 albums (1963-1972)
5.Frank Zappa + MOI - Burnt Weeny Sandwich (with super-honourable mention going to Uncle Meat and all other MOI releases AND Hot Rats)
4.The Who - Who's Next
3.Jimi Hendrix Experience - Electric Ladyland
2.the Beatles - Revolver
1.>to be filled in later<

phew. Well, i hope that gets the ball rolling.

Disclaimer: All lists by me are indefinitive and do not neccessarily reflect the choices i'd make in a correct state of mind. Also, none are listed in any particular order (unless otherwise specified)

EDIT: i was looking at this today and flinched at a few of my selections, so i'm changing them. Changes will be highlighted in bold. P.S. it's still a crappy list.

[Heccubus]

Tough call.

90s-Present:
-Nirvana's "In Utero"
-Bjork's "Homogenic"
-The Mars Volta's "De-Loused In The Comatorium"
-The White Stripes' "Elephant"
-Radiohead's "OK Computer"

I am replacing The Mars Volta and Nirvana on my list with:
-My Bloody Valentine: Loveless
-Sonic Youth: Dirty
(respectively)

[WalrusOfPlastic]

There is no way I could decide a real top five list, but these are currently the top five albums I'd be most excited to listen to right now completely biased toward my mood.

1.) Pinback~Blue Screen Life
2.) Sigur Ros~()
3.) A Perfect Circle~Thirteen Steps
4.) Radiohead~The Bends
5.) Krishna Das~Breath of the Heart

[Jordan]

my other list

Dean Martin - The Capitol Years
Depeche Mode - Violater ( rollingstones gave this 2 stars, reader review gave it 4.5)
U2 - Greatest Hits
Collective Soul - Hints, Allegations, and things left unsaid
Robbie Williams - Swing When You Win

[Heccubus]

Rolling Stone gave Violator two stars? Pity it was one of their top 500 Albums of all time then! They did the same thing with the Stooges. Called them "boring" when they came out, then all three of their studio albums showed up on that chart.

[Reader]

Rock critics/journalists are the shit of the earth. If i ever end up in that line of work you know i really f***ed up bad.



Anyway, most people answered the Top 5 Albums thing... can anyone think of their top 10-20 favorite songs? or think of a better list-question relating to music?

[Heccubus]

Heccubus' 20 Favourite Songs Ever In No Particular Order:
-"Transmission" by Joy Division
-"Enfilade" by At The Drive-In
-"Inertiac Esp" by the Mars Volta
-"Revolution 1" by the Beatles
-"Fight Test" by the Flaming Lips
-"Bachelorette" by Bjork
-"Jackass" by Beck
-anything off of Sigur Ros' "[ ]" album
-"Only Shallow" by My Bloody Valentine
-"Eric's Trip" by Sonic Youth
-"The Day We Hit The Coast" by Thrush Hermit
-"Comfortably Numb" by Pink Floyd
-"Scentless Apprentice" by Nirvana
-"Star Guitar" by the Chemical Brothers
-"Smash It Up" by The (International) Noise Conspiracy
-"New Noise" by Refused
-"Good Vibrations" by the Beach Boys
-"The Good In Everyone" by Sloan
-anything off of "Is This It?" by The Strokes
-"The Hardest Button To Button" by The White Stripes

NOTE: This list is not entirely accurate, I'd say. I'm sure my tastes will change and I'd give different songs if I made it again tomorrow, but that's pretty close, I suppose.
