Discussing the upcoming You Am I tour, it got me thinking of how people can love a band but all have a different opinion on what their best album is. There are a lot of people who have a similar taste in music here, so it would be interesting to see what other people come up with

for mine:

Metallica - Ride the Lightning
Megadeth - So Far, So Good, So What
Anthrax - Persistence of Time
Foo Fighters - Colour and the Shape
You Am I - HiFi Way
Pennywise - Reason to Believe
Frenzal Rhomb - Smoko at the Pet Food Factory
Iron Maiden - The Number of the Beast
Grinspoon - Guide to Better Living
Millencolin - Pennybridge Pioneers
Muse - Origin of Symmetry
NOFX - Coaster
Soundgarden - Badmotorfinger
The Living End - The Living End
The Superjesus - Sumo
TISM - Great Trucking Songs of the Renaissance

Dude, great topic. Give me a few moments, and I'll do mine.

Do you mean favourite album by the bands you picked, or our own picks?

In any case, I'll do both.

Cheers mate! Have you come up with a list yet?

I remember having nothing but cassettes as a kid, so I asked my mum to buy me Insomniac for Christmas. Mum ended up getting me Dookie instead, and a mini hi-fi for my bedroom. But I always preferred Insomniac.

My list based on bands which I own more than one album (A lot of these are toss a coin moments!):

Metallica- Master of Puppets (just from RTL)
Megadeth- Rust in Peace
Slayer- Reign in Blood
Face to Face- Dont Turn Away
Pennywise- Unknown Road
NOFX- Punk in Drublic (just from Ribbed)
Soundgarden- Badmotorfinger (just from superunknown)
Alice in Chains- Dirt
Stone Temple Pilots- Core
Bad Religion- Recipe for Hate (just from Against the Grain)
Machine Head- The Blackening
Killswitch Engage- The End of Heartache (the new album is a belter too)
Kyuss- Sky Valley
A Day to Remember- Homesick
Bolt Thrower- The 4th crusade
Carcass- Necroticism (Descanting the Insalubrious) (Just from Symphonies of Sickness)
Rage against the Machine- Self Titled
Anthrax- Persistence of Time
BoySetsFire- After the Eulogy
The Porkers- Hot Dog Daquiri
Helmet- Meantime (Just from Aftertaste)
Propagandhi- How to Clean Everything
Faith No more- Angel Dust
Pantera- Vulgar Display of Power

I'll add to it when I'm home as I know I have missed a fair few.

Sure is, I love it. Doesn't get the credit it deserves I reckon, seems as though it's not as popular as Rage Against the Machine or The Battle of Los Angeles and from my view I think alot of people obviously know RATM but I don't think people know Evil Empire that well.
