I was having a discussion at lunch today with some of my friends about music today. Then the question what are the 5 greatest albums so i wanted to ask you guys and gals what either your 5 fav. albums are or what you think the 5 greatest albums are and why.

For me personally, it's Johnny Cash At Folsom Prison, Layla, Abbey Road, Barenaked Ladies' Rock Spectacle, and Sara Bareilles' Careful Confessions.

Some classic, some not-so-much, but I like them.

Can't really say they're the greatest, but I like these and can listen to them entirely without any discomfort. There are obviously quite a few more...

Dark Side of the Moon- Pink Floyd
Obvious brilliance. Amazing songs in one cohesive masterpiece. Timeless.

Led Zeppelin II- Led Zeppelin
One of the most Rock n' Roll albums ever created.

Blizzard of Oz- Ozzy Osbourne
The legacy of the late great Randy Rhoads.

Alice in Chains: Unplugged- Alice in Chains
Simple yet very effective. Layne Staley shows an emotional dimension to his voice that only comes from deep within the tormented soul. Very powerful.

Thank You- Stone Temple Pilots
The best STP songs on one album. Picture Jim Morrison 2.0 belting out lyrics into driving guitar riffs. Then you have bass groves that move your head as you reach for the nearest object to hit in order to keep the drum beat. Everything just works so well together in this band. That makes it the kind of band you'd want to be a part of.

I don't know if they are the greatest, but here are 5 that changed my whole outlook on music...
MC5- Kick Out the Jams
Blue Cheer- Vincebus Eruptum
Monster Magnet- Spine of God
Fu Manchu- Daredevil
Sleep- Holy Mountain

Megadeth - Greatest Hits: Back to the start.

Jimi Hendrix - Are you Experienced, groundbreaking awesome sounds

Ozzy & Rhoads - the live double album, Randy was awesome live.

Yngwie Malmsteen - Trilogy, awesome guitar work with more accessible songs with lyrics

Nirvana - Nevermind, eventhough it was a polished production it still gave the music world a well deserved right cross to the face.

Pink Floyd - The Wall, taking concept albums to a new height.

Tough question and probably changes frequently, but right now off the top of my head I'd say :

1. Beatles (tie) Sgt Pepper or White Album

2. Exile On Main Street - Stones

3. The Sun Sessions - Elvis & friends

4. "Live" at the Apollo (1963) James Brown

5. The Great 28 - Chuck Berry (so many cool riffs on this one!)
